The National Anthem

You look at the national anthem and it just screams Moses:

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
Man, Moses could see and he saw Dawn a lot.

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Man, proud?! Are you serious?! Let my people go?! Moses in a heartbeat.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
The script for the movie the Ten Commandments was broad at points, and it's a bright example of movie making magic.

O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
Parting the red Stream?! (read: sea)

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Red glare... hmm... I don't know... doesn't that sound like... um... a fire! Maybe a burning bush?!

Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Yep, moses knew about night time... not sure about flags, but knew night time.

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Wave makes me think of saying bye. Bye-bye egypt!

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
I think Moses actually said this at one point on his way down the mountain.


Guys, the similarities are just too strong.
