R Kelly's Ignition (Remix) to be the new US National Anthem?
Other | Wednesday 6th March 2013 | Cody
A petition has been launched in America in order to persuade the White House to change the national anthem from ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ to R Kelly’s hit single ‘Ignition (Remix)’ (I know, I can’t believe it either)
An estimated 2,000 people have signed the petition in favour of the change however the petition needs at least 100,000 before the 2nd April before the White House are able to respond.
The petitioners told the Huffington Post that they are asking President Obama too "recognize the need for a new national anthem, one that even a decade after its creation, is still hot and fresh out the kitchen."
This decision may cause concern for Americans not familiar with R Kelly’s work. Ignition holds sexual lyrics such as
“Now it's like murder she wrote ,Once I get you out them clothes
Privacy is on the door
Still they can hear you screamin' more
Girl I'm feelin' what you feelin'
No more hopin' and wishin'
I'm bout to take my key and
Stick it in the ignition”
Hmmm..
