Since it’s July 4th (and I JUST got up, yessir), I figured we gotta start this off with the ONLY rendition of the National Anthem that matters: Marvin Gaye.

Now, I know there has been some amazing renditions (Hendrix at Woodstock & pre-crack Whitney at the Super Bowl stand out), but SERIOUSLY, have you ever heard 1) poeple hooting & hollering DURING the National Anthem and 2) a spontaneous SOUL CLAP towards the end.

ONLY MARVIN could make the National Anthem… sexy.
