was an awesome version, he always does a great job. He does the anthem for all chicago blackhawk home games. Get goosebumps every time. When the crowd really gets into the the stadium actually shakes...pretty awesome stuff
At least it wasn't like your usual version where you get one of them r&b/soul singers that sing all round the fething song and it takes about half an hour.
Do it like us cut 3 or 4 verses out (even the cool one about killing rebellious Scots) shout it while pished and get on with the hooliganism.....er I mean sport!

Ingerlund! is what we allow the plebs to sing when they can't deal with complicate lyrics or proper sports.
Catchy though...

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation

How ostentatious, how typically... American.
Honestly, that's one thing I find interesting about Europeans as opposed to Americans. Americans (in general) go as big, loud, and showy as possible, whereas Europeans generally don't. It also manifests itself in Americans generally being more outgoing and, gregarious, I guess (or just loud) whereas Europeans are generally more reserved. I'm not saying that this is universally true, but from my experience it is generally accurate.

Englanders are supposed to be reserved, unless you bring up WW2 or the Germans or their version of football.

Only the british could come up with "Jerry", that doesn't make any sense. How can you hate anyone named Jerry, I know that I sure can't especially when it comes to Tom and Jerry. "Kraut" was a better term because it was actually created from something German. By the way saurkraut is disgusting; liverwurst is fine, bratwurst is fine, Bavarian chocolates are fine, but I draw the line at saurkraut. Hell I would eat blood sausage before I would eat saurkraut, and they make plates full of the stuff. Weisswurst and saurkraut as if it was spaghetti, just thinking of the stuff makes me shudder. It doesn't help that my mom is from Wisconsin and freaking loves the stuff thanks to German/Austrian heritage, its always in the house, watching me while I sleep... So yeah, Jerry is a bad name for a supposed enemy.
