Beyonce brings back childhood memories with this one... Elementary School, 5th grade, the Gulf War was raging overseas. My music teacher Ms. Honan made our entire music class learn this song and sing it (right along with 50 Nifty United States) so hearing Sasha Fierce cover this is making me somewhat relive my tales of a fifth-grade-nothing. Just like during the Gulf War, we all have more of a reason to be patriotic these days, and I'm not mad at her for showing her spirit. This is a great rendition of a cheesy song, and I guess it proves how serious she is about getting a spot in the lineup for Obama's inauguration. But I swear, if she sings 50 Nifty United States, I'm done!
