It's a very slow day in the sports world (as you can tell by the item above), so this has become national anthem day here at Hot Clicks. In today's A.M. edition, we told you about the NFL's love affair with former American Idol contestants performing The Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl. That item generated a few interesting e-mail from Hot Clicks Nation. The first comes from Daniel Rubin, who said his all-time favorite rendition came from Smokey Robinson at the 1986 World Series. I have to admit, until I watched the clip this afternoon, I wasn't familiar with Smokey's version and I had no idea he actually did half Star-Spangled Banner and half America the Beautiful. (People seem to get very upset when you change the anthem around, so I wonder if this would be a huge controversy today.) In addition to Robinson, I was also treated to this version of the anthem by third-, fourth- and fifth-graders from Hawthorne Elementary School in Ohio. (Thanks to Mike L., of Columbus, Ohio, for the link.)
