By now most of you have seen this video, but most don't know from where it came. WDEF News12 Photojournalist Ashley Henderson captured this video over two years ago. Officers from across Hamilton County Tennessee gather in front a memorial to remember fallen law enforcement officers. The rest is history. - ตลก
Somewhere, a bald eagle exploded
KeyserSoze16 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eventually, the eagle stopped thinking.
Bruhhhhhhh
XD
best comment in here! lmao
"And the home of the free" 😂😂😂
Lol, that one young cop was trying not to laughx
@@JayLongProductions ikr
@@JayLongProductions he reminds me Jake Peralta... 🤣🤣🤣
After listening to this I forgot what the real song sounds like lmao
“Rampitts”
"Join me in prayer"? I think they were already praying while he was singing.
ugh, so toxic, shame on you
@@123482625 how is that toxic? The guy was only okay at singing at first and then he didn't know half the song. I think it's plausible some people prayed for their kids to not be as dumb as the guy singing
@@123482625 ❄️❄️
Lol
I would’ve been praying the minute he started singing; praying to God for the strength not to laugh out loud! 😂🤣😂🤣
I can really relate to 0:32, the breathing of trying to contain laughter is a hard thing to do. Respect to this man, strong American right there.
We need more strong Americans like that in this country
Yes we need more strong americans like you and that random cop
Yes.. yes we do sir!! Reporting for duuuty! Sir!
Dude fr super hard 😂😂😂
@@systemofadown945we are here but we’re angry you treat us like dogs
Let us loose
Prayer seems like a logical next step.
Haha
Lol!!
Join me in prayer please
I feel like I need to after that performance.
hahahha
best part was watching that cop trying not to laugh
That officer is now our associate pastor. I think he bit his lip to keep from laughing.
Ben Burke That makes me feel better to know he could laugh at himself. This takes a good man, and I'm sure a good pastor!
My favorite part was, “Home Of The.... freeeeeeeeee!”
Ben Burke can you do please a follow up video to see his thoughts about this video!
He came so close to losing it
"Join me in prayer please."
He sounded so defeated.
"....BRAaVvE!" Always gets me. Right in the side. 😂😂
replying to this so you can laugh as hard as me again
@@Blazekid1906😂
Fergie got nothing on this guy.
Nate Herrick ctfu 😃😄😃😂😂
Fergie knew the words, she just picked a bad style to perform. This dude butchered the song beyond recognition.
Fergie didn't fuck up the lyrics
Don't look at comments while listening, this was a funeral for a Cop.
I'll take her obnoxious bag of cats over this drooling handicapped surreal mess.
Me trying to say a speech in front of the entire school.
You are very correct
Oof
no way it can be that bad
This will never get old…I come back and watch this at least twice a year…. And I’m from Chattanooga… so this is a local treasure 😂😂😂
This is an annual thing for me
Lyrics:
(0:02) O say can you see, by the dawns early light, what so held the twilight, as the last gleaming most bright? Whose broad…
(0:24) -ious fight, o’er the rockets we watched…
(0:31) -Streaming. And the rocket’s red glare, bombs bursting in air, gave…
(0:44) -Through the night, that the stars were still there. O say…
(0:53) -yet wave…
(0:58) -Brave, and the home of the free.
Thank you 🙏🏽😂
1:09 Join me In prayer please (as a bonus)
since when does FREE rhyme with *brave?* that's all *i* wanna know! 🤤
Beautiful.
yes
Sarah Anderson every United States school sings this.
a comment from six years ago
Yeah
U so crazy lmao
Thank you for listening, that was “spangled banner star”.
LOL, thank you for this comment
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Lmfao
I CAN'T FUCKING BREATHE BAHAHAHAHAHHAA
😆😆😆
Imagine the man who passed last request was to have this guy sing knowing it would make everyone happier and laugh
🥳💨🤣 *1,000* 👍🏼‼️
I remember seeing a longer version of this video, and someone had thanked him for getting up there, because he did it at the last minute, and there was no one else there to do it. Bless his heart.
Where is that video?
well, blessings never *hurt.* 😨
I was like his voice isn’t bad what are they ta-
Oh
I did the same thing! Lol
yup
I don't get the joke, is his voice bad or did he say something wrong in the anthem? I'm not american so i don't know it
@@randomorange6807 he sang the first 2 lines correctly, but the rest was entirely the wrong words.
@@randomorange6807 it means his vocals were nice but the lyrics were all wrong.
Gotta think about it though. He still went up there knowing damn well that he didn't know the lyrics and couldn't sing. And he did it pretty confidently too.
Maybe they needed a singer and said hey there's a black man,they all can sing. WRONG
@@dianew7058 💀 he certainly wasn't no mj but he got the job done
@@dianew7058 Who thinks all people can sing? 😂
I want that guy watching my 6
@@anthonytrashboat Agree, he actually did better than I would, never warm up to that song, doesn't even know the lyrics
I feel horrible for laughing because this was at a funeral. But I definitely still laughed!
Don’t feel horrible because I also laughed.
That makes it better
"and the home of the freeeeeeee" i lost it-
Never have I been more proud to be from Chattanooga
same here hahahahha
Right 😭😭
Same
@S̶c̷r̴ip̶̝͘të̵́d̸̔ - 『TGI』 it may sound bias.. but i love chatt, maybe because i was born and raised here
Lmfao weird name
0:58 RAAAAPPPEEEE!!!
Lol
I just noticed that!!! 😂😂😂😂
+CoasterCritique more like 0:55
+Robot404 More like 0:58
Roger It's not at 0:58 for me, it's just before
The cameraman deciding to pan Around was gold 😂😂😂
Why does this look like it’s straight from The Office ? lol
“Forrr the rabbits we wonnnn” 😂
🤣🤣😂😂😂
I'm 💀
For the 🐇 we 🏆
Just as I read your comment I hear him say it 😂😂😂😂😂
💀💀💀
Oh god, I just noticed the black stripes on the badges. That means a fellow officer fucking died. THE DUDE SUNG THIS AT SOMEBODY'S FUNERAL. *THIS.*
+Number Nine woooooow that's terrible o_O
Number Nine Desc implied that.
Don't you think he was so heartstruck he couldn't get it right ?
All man
My grinning at him singing this immediately died once i saw this comment.
00:58 the “brAaAave” had me dead 💀
0:25. "I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so he could disrespect the national anthem like this"
"That the stars were still there"...
Where would they go?...
Uncertainty Guaranteed lol
Away from this guy.
Uncertainty Guaranteed I’m in tears!🔥🎤🗽
gone supernova.
I'm literally crying.
0:46 "Gave proof through the night.... that the STARS were still there" LMAO that was priceless.
I wonder what he had written in that paper because it clearly wasn't the lyrics😂
The universe didn't collapse
wait...those arent the lyrics? legit asking cuz thats what i thought
@@gabrielasanchez2028 on the original comment where it says "stars" it's supposed to say flag. And he messed up a few other words and at the end.
Well he has a point, the stars are still here.
Lyrics:
oh say can you see?
By the dawns early light
What so hellll was twilight
At the last gleaming was dry
Whos broad in our spot?
O'er the ramparts we was endless dreaming
And the rockets red glare
Bombs bursting in air
Gay, through the night!
That the stars were still there
O sayaayayyy waaayy!
Raaaaape!
And the home, of the free!
Lmaooo
🤣 I am weak
Bruh 💀
😂😂😂😂😂I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING... The lyrics are on point!! THANK YOU!!! 🙏😁👍😂😂😂😂😂
Spot on lyrics, perfect translation. Thank you!
Ingress brought me here
"Join me in prayer, please." LOL
Devil's Food I’m an atheist, but praying isn’t fucking theocracy.
Praying for the voice to get better
Devil's Food the icing on top of this glorious performance
What’s so funny about prayers?
@@theashgirl8662 Nothing. It's the comedic timing of him saying "join me in prayer" after someone completely f*cked up the national anthem.
"gave truth that the stars were still there"
Yea I'd certainly hope they were
😂😂😂😂 best comment
🤣🤣😂😂😂
😅
I come back to this video just to laugh at this comment 😂
edit: I still come back just to find this comment, breaks me every single time lmao
edit 2: this will never not break me, I’m still in tears haha
@@testadalord01432 same 😂
This dude made me forget what the actual lyrics were
0:36 I feel this man's pain. He's trying his best.
*Someone said this man singing the star tangled banner 💀💀💀*
Lmboooo
💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmaoooo I can’t 🤣😂✋🏾
I love how he starts singing before he even gets to the mic
He was excited for his big moment
@@anthonytrashboat ur pfp fits what u said 🤣🤣
He was nervous lol and rightfully so.
Lmao, he was trying to finish before anyone could hear it
He was trying to remember the song out loud but when he went up to the mic he got stage fright and forgot all the lyrics
For your viewing pleasure, turn on the subtitles
Thank you! Got a good laugh out of that.
Thanks bro
I love how this guy knew that he didn't know the lyrics, but still gave it his all. Gotta respect that.
Thank god those stars were still there.
ROFL
birdybirdforever I’m cracking my side!
Yes thank the free.
HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
The camerawork just adds to the hilarity. It makes it look like an episode of The Office or Parks and Rec.
PLEASE - POST THE FULL VERSION - WHOEVER HAS THIS ! WDEF NEWS.
Makes you wonder how good a police officer he was ?
@@mogadon7 I would absolutely love to see the full version, wish they didn't cut it!
FRRR
now if someone looked at the camera it would look like they filmed an episode from those shows or Abbott Elementary lol
"Hey, what key was that in?"
"All of em!!"
Mom, can we have the star spangled banner?
Mom: No, we have the star spangled banner at home
Star Spangled Banner at home:
Came here to comment this. 🤣
💀💀💀
Star Bangled Flag
More like the bangled spar stanner
@@himynameisdan9259 more like star Bangladesh Banner
When you realize he was singing at a fellow cops funeral and you were laughing the whole time...
oh no..
I'm still laughing
Man how much I dislike people 🤣
ACAB
@@qwertyzxcvbn3174 you’re a cop now. Ha. Bad. You.
They cut out the part where the dead officer got up and left in the middle of the song
The way this is shot and framed makes it feel straight out of Brooklyn 99
DAMN! He picked a hell of a day to have a stroke!
masterjim23 lmfao! Hahahahahahahahahhahaa
I am appalled by this comment.... and I am more appalled that I laughed at it!!!!!
I laughed harder at ur comment than his singing
I’m watching the episode where you get the quote from😂
Omg. I bursted out laughing so hard after reading that 😂😂😂
Homeboy at 0:35 just went through the five stages of grief in just three seconds.
hello
0:31 - denial
0:32 - anger
0:33 - bargaining
0:34 - depression
0:35 - acceptance
he needs to sing before every baseball game
Here's hoping the fellow who followed him didn't butcher the prayer as bad.
"Our heaven who art in fathers"
😂😂😂
I really wish this wasn't full of jump cuts. I would have happily watched the full, unabridged version.
I'm not sure this is NOT the full version. How can you tell it's cut?
Because the audio abruptly cuts and random points - the whole song isn't there, unless that man can magically skip forward in time with his voice, in which case he should have his own TV show or something, because that would be amazing.
***** If you told me that, I'd say, "Oh, that's actually... not surprising."
Speaking on jump cuts. 0:58 is the best part
I would pay cash to have seen this in its entirety live!
“Was so hella twilight...at the last gleaming, what’s right” 😩😂
😂
He a little confused but he got the spirit
LMAO im done
I'm hollering. 🤣😂🤣😂
Pretty name 🙂
It’s the contrast in reactions for me - the first officer that looks disgusted, the one trying not to laugh, the group standing in reverence with hand on heart and the lady who’s in utter shock 😂😂 I will say this though that guy can sing, he just needs to learn the lyrics and try again 😂😂
His voice isn’t horrible, but it’s not good.
I'm proud to say... I kept it together until 0:51 😂
I saw this coming when he didn’t even bother to remove his hat.
That's true
Lmao my comment got deleted 😄😄😄
In the military and in police departments, the cover is not removed for the national anthem.
😩🙌😂
0:05 - Oh come on guys, give him a break. He's really trying...
0:15 - Oh nooooooooo
Wait. This video is from 4 years ago??? Why is it going viral in 2021?
This is the most I’ve laughed in a long time
“When the singer cancels so the security has to step in”
Wow the singer must have had a huge grudge against the dead guy
Yeah and then he said "i'm gonna fuck up this man's funeral" lol
Oh my hahaha
@@Michaelgabriel95He's rolling in his grave 😂😂
When you order the Star spangled Banner from Wish:
This needs more than 36 likes.
😳😳 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
@@makeupandmusicgirl there you go
🤣🤣🤣
I’m wondering how the selection of the singer was conducted.
Chief: Show of hands, who volunteers to sing the national anthem
That guy: I got this Chief!
And then the fact that it looks like he is reading off a piece of paper 😂 did someone give him the wrong lyrics? 😂
0:38 - "Bombs bursting in air, gay"
00:31-00:42 This man deserves the Self Control of the Year Award
Amira Strawter he was biting his tong so hard his mouth was full of blood.
yes
You mean fruit of the year award!
he cute af
If I was doing color guard for this I would’ve lost bearing so damn fast
You know that this guy is a legend at his precinct for carrying out this bet.
I know him personally. Legend is an understatement.
It was a funeral 😬
@@Fire_Marshall_Bill for real?
@@NATOnova yup, known him since I was a teenager. The unfortunate thing is that this was at a memorial for a LODD of an officer. But this is one of thousands of things that made him a legend. He once ran out of tickets in his ticket book, found a brown paper sack on the side of the road, and wrote the ticket on it. It passed in court! He went into IA meetings and would slap his own tape recorder on the table next to theirs. Had no problem telling authority how it was. The way he carries himself is with true swagger and when he is in the room he would have you howling in laughter until you puke. One of the truest officers you would ever want to see. Unfortunately he is retired now. Huge loss to the community he served.
@@Fire_Marshall_Bill wow thanks for sharing. So do you think he butchered the anthem here on purpose?
Someday I hope to be as strong as these people were fighting their laughter listening to this gentleman sing.
Whew, I could not handle it anymore at 0:34. That cop is killing me 🤣🤣
"And the last gleaming was right"
What if the last gleaming wasn't right 🤔
lmao
Starting to question the existence of the U.S
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
nice pfp
🤣🤣🤣🤣
you know that one cop was holding it, he was licking his lips and everthing 💀💀💀
0:27 that guy is losing is shit quietly. 😂
Lmaoo my guy was trying to hold back tears 😂 0:31
When you didnt prepare for your presentation at school:
When he said “that the stars were still there” instead of “the flag” 😔✌🏾I felt that
can I buy this on Itunes
Barney Fryer I second that!
Barney Fryer omg... and then this comment!!! Hahaha!
Hell I can make it for you
Lawd I’m in tears 😂😂😂😂 , I’m sorry I can’t help it “ And the home of the free” is what got me at the end the most
Anytime I need a laugh I watch this
he could be a real life Cleveland Brown!

Fuck haha

This comment didn't age well 😈 the browns are finally free

Lyrics:
oh say can you see
by the dawn’s early light
was so hell, it was late
at the last gleaming Rolls Royce
...for the Rapids we won...
...and the rockets red glare
bombs bursting in air
gave proof to the night
that the stars was still there...
...for the land of the brave
and the home of the free!
🤣😂😂😂😂😂
I'm rolling🤣😫🤣🤣🤣😫😫🤣🤣🤣
@Ace - You were able to DECIPHER what the heck that fellow was singing?? 🤣
*wipes away tear* that was beautiful.
HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
I had never seen this episode of The Office, what season is it?
Lyrics:
O’ say can you see
By the dawn’s early light
What’s so healens twilight
At the last gleaming; Whose stregh-
Who broad stri
ious fight, O’er the Rabbits we watched;
We’re so gallantly streaman.
And the rockets’ red glare
Bombs bursting in air;
Gave to the night
That the starsqwere still there!
Oh say does that Star Spangled Baaaannneeer yeeeet wave,
O’er the land of the brave;
And the home of the free?
"Join me in prayer please". 😂😂😂😂
Simone White pray for that song
There’s nothing funny about prayers
Yeah... after a performance like that, there's not much else to do.
Yeah, praying for the people who heard that performance
The best part was when he sang “The rockets red glare! The bombs bursting in air!” in the wrong key.
That killed me. He just kept going. 🤣😂
Totally wrong musical phrasing too lmao
Not the wrong key, but the wrong section of the music for the words😂😂😂
It isn't the wrong key. It's the bridge that's supposed to have a totally different melody.Too f'ing funny.
My fav part 😂
Whoever edited this I love you
"Join me in prayer please... for the murder you have just been made witness to"
0:32 that officer is trying so hard to not laugh
As a Chattanooga resident, I still get a kick out of this. And the cop holding back his laugh is now an associate pastor of a local church.
Shelton Brown he seems like a great guy 😂😂 I already like him!
Shelton Brown cool
Shelton Brown what church?
Shelton Brown why did he quit being a cop?
@@joncook7510 he quit because he was scared to hear another anthem like that!!!!!
“Join me in prayer please, as the man that you just watched is having an aneurism and is seeking medical attention as we speak. Amen”
You know, his tone wasn’t the absolute worst until he got up high. The lyrics were his own.
Ohh I'm halfway thru it only and forgot it goes up. I cant do this
This is where you just gotta tell whoever’s in charge “Look. I can’t do it. Sorry.”
Thanks OTK for showing me this
This feels like something out of a sitcom
“Join me in prayer please. For that god-awful abomination of our nation’s anthem, I’ve ever had the displeasure of sitting through.”
💀💀💀
You’re a racist!!!!
SIKE 🤣🤣🤣
That man f***ing desecrated the anthem bro!!!
They didn’t have to include that last bit but im so happy they did
@@bj1783 were you trying to say “psyche”? Nice try
Who are you quoting FeistyHeisty?
haha I love how they show the first cop who looks pissed that the national anthem is being butchered and then the second one is trying not to laugh
Shows you how at the end of the day no matter what people say, everyone's different and no one is the same
+bong the music industry
if you heard me say that then maybe you should lay off the bong.
+bong the music industry
just returning the favor bro
:)
Lmao he wanted to die laughing, they no they wrong for letting dude sing .. lol I don't no if he even tried to sing .. he was just going with the flow
I have never been more proud to be an American
Just got this recommended, anyone else?
Omg, my first time seeing this and im cracking up. 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro me too. This morning at 2 am
Who cares if it’s recommended. How else will TH-cam spread their TH-cam videos. So unoriginal.
Can't stop laughing!!! Maybe it was recommended because I just watched Whitney Houston's phenomenal rendition and this one is the exact opposite. Soooo bad....sooooo funny
yup
The man was obviously just singing his own national anthem lol
No way this is real
0:30 My man was STRUGGLING
From: "What's so hella twilight"...to "That the stars were still there!" this is my favorite National anthem singer ever! I just wished the cameraman had rolled throughout the entire thing.
"After the end of the ceremony, the officer was cited for a noise violation"
😩🙌😂
He was also charged with disrupting the peace
And later hey was charged for murdering everyones ears
And crimes against humanity
Maybe a few acts of domestic terrorism also
The only person I know to mess up the last word of the national anthem is this guy😂
This will never get old
