In the sound clip
above the 'Star Spangled
Banner' as performed by the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir
is contrasted with Laibach's version on Volk with Boris Benko on vocals (Milan Fras appears
elsewhere on the track). Whilst the original is an affirmation of the
USA's bravery under the national flag, Laibach questions whether America
still lives up to the values of the anthem.
Here is a video of a combined US military
cadet choir with US army trumpet heralds performing at the 2002 NFL
Superbowl.
