This is like the guy in Hawaii the other days, it's the words to the NA but a melody nothing like it. What if someone got up and sang the words to the NA but used the melody of "Free Bird" or "Row Row Row Your Boat" or "Macarena?"

Or what if someone got up and sang the melody of the NA but used the words of "Free Bird" or "Row Row Row Your Boat" or "Macarena?"

What makes a song what it is, the words or the melody or both? I don't know.

I think the way it is done, both times, was in a reverence....that makes a difference.

A little of one's own expression sand with tasteful reverence is alright in my book.

Both versions were/are fantastic.

Here is a funny old Albert Brooks bit about how it would go if we held auditions for a new National Anthem.
