The National Anthem has been a source of much drama for several singers over the years who have slipped up on the words. Just last week, American Idol's Scotty McCreery had to start his song over after a microphone malfunction at Game 1 of the World Series Wednesday night. He was also criticized for apparently singing, "No Jose does that Star Spangled banner yet wave" instead of "Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave."

Other flubs over the years have included Christina Aguilera at the Super Bowl, Cyndi Lauper at the U.S. Open and Steven Tyler at the Indy 500.
