" . . . we'll have a barrel of fun!" Now Isn't That Better?

Yes, I watched some of the Olympics. The water polo and badminton kept me on the edge of my seat. But what I really enjoy is the music. I think that national anthems should be judged like the other events. I'd give:
USA: 9.5 for degree of difficulty.
France: 9.6 for artistic merit.
Germany: a perfect 10 for scariness.
Hey Germany, with folks still walking around who will either automatically click their heels or dive under a bed at the sound of "Deutschland uber alles," couldn't you lighten up a bit? How about a polka? Everyone associates Germany with polkas, and who doesn't love a good polka? It might be good PR, and spare some nerves.
