When I was studying in Russia with a group of Christian college students, we all decided to do a video treasure hunt one night. There were two cameras, so there were two teams, and we all got to put items on the list, with some worth more points than others. One of the high-points items was to sing the National Anthem on a crowded bus, more points if there were Russian Army soldiers on the bus.
The group that decided to try for it had to start it, get this, five times! They couldn't remember the words after the first phrase. They took a break and then finally remembered the rest, and the Russians just looked away like it was a bad car accident or something.
When we all watched the videos afterwards, it turned out that only two of us in the group of 20 knew all the words to the first verse.
Still makes me giggle to think of good, God-fearing Christian Americans not knowing all the words to the National Anthem.
