      As long as it comes from the performers heart as a form of reverence for our country, that is what counts. As we are a country full of diversity, diversity is what we should expect from our Star Spangled Banner. Francis Scott Key wrote this song in the key of life, of an individual's life. That is what we should expect from this song.

        Didn't Francis Scott Key write only the text? Then wouldn't he have had no influence over the melody?

          The melody used was an old British tune.

            Yes, a pub song I believe. But it's all about how those amazing lyrics are placed into that context.
