That Awkward Moment When You Don’t Remember The Words To Your Anthem

Turns out you aren’t the only one that doesn’t know all the words to your national anthem. The head of the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee Yoshiro Mori warned the Japanese Olympic team not to mumble the words to the Japanese national anthem when they are in Rio this summer. Japan isn’t the only country whose citizens just muddle through their anthem. Christina Aguilera missed a word while singing the Star Spangled Banner at the Superbowl in 2011 and surveys report that about two-thirds of Americans and half of young Brits don’t know the words to their national anthem.
