The Star Spangled Banner was originally a poem written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812, which was later adapted into the official anthem of the United States. This version of the anthem was preformed by the Soviet Red Army Choir. Pictured in the video is former 39th US President Jimmy Carter alongside now deceased Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. In the background is a proposal for a redesign of the United States flag, arranging the current 50 stars in the shape of the hammer and sickle, the notorious symbol for Russian patriotism and Marxist ideologies across the world.
Lyrics:
O say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
