"contents": "<p>On Saturday Cyndi Lauper was tasked with singing the Star-spangled Banner at a 9/11 memorial at the US Open. As early as the fourth line she stumbled, replacing: “O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming” with “O'er the ramparts we watched, as our flag was still streaming”. Granted, it's not quite as bad a stuff up as <a href=\"../article/2011-08-25-o-brother-where-ard-thou\">we're used to closer to home</a>, but just what is it with singers the world over being unable to remember the words to their national anthems?</p>\n<p>Apparently Lauper, like Ard Matthews before her, had a moment. On Sunday she tweeted: “Whew, I just did the anthem for the US open. It was an awesome experience.I got choked up in the middle remembering 9/11… The moon shone done on us and I tried to say a prayer at the same time… I hope I didn't mess up too bad. I wanted it to be comforting. Xcyn”.</p>\n<p><em>Watch: Cyndi Lauper flubs national anthem during US Open 9/11 memorial, on YouTube</em></p>\n<p>\n<object width=\"560\" height=\"345\" data=\"https://www.youtube.com/v/KRNqjRrfyA8?version=3&hl=en_US\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\">\n<param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" />\n<param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" />\n<param name=\"src\" value=\"https://www.youtube.com/v/KRNqjRrfyA8?version=3&hl=en_US\" />\n<param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" />\n</object>\n</p>\n<p>We suggest that in the face of continuing public anthem disasters, broadcasters invest in auto cues to give over-emotional stars a hand. Or they should just stick to the failsafe method of getting a choir to sing the anthem: if one person out of several forgets the words on live TV, it's not going to be a national embarrassment. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>DM</strong></span></p>\n<hr style=\"width: 600px;\" />\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"http://imaverick.co.za/page/editions\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"//www.dailymaverick.co.za/images/legacy_resized_images/3385dd9253f49bd8b824c57e67a9cff0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"332\" /></a></strong></span></p>\n<hr style=\"width: 600px;\" />\n<p><strong>Read more:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cyndi Lauper forgets words to US national anthem during 9/11 memorial, in the <a href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/sep/12/cyndi-lauper-us-national-anthem?CMP=twt_fd\">Guardian</a>;</li>\n<li>Ras Dumisani, The Star Mangled Banner and other Sour Notes, in the <a href=\"../article/2009-11-16-Ras-Dumisani-The-Star-Mangled-Banner-and-other-Sour-Notes\">Daily Maverick</a>;</li>\n<li>Cyndi Lauper blames 9/11 memories for flubbing national anthem at US open, on <a href=\"http://www.eonline.com/news/cyndi_lauper_blames_911_memories/263127#ixzz1XkylDNaJ\">E!
