Well Ron, i know for a fact that in the USA there has been a plethora of
variations on their anthem sung in a variety of keys, styles, with 'elongation'
(the musical term is augmentation, assuming we are talking of the same thing)
accapella or accompanied by a variety of different musical
instruments/combinations thereof.. MARK????

Gee Ron, how stupid of me not to have known 'that' was the particular version
you were refering to. This is a classic example of going off 1/2 cocked with
not enough info, both of us mate.THE ONE most Australia is familiar with sung
by JA, is the version with the choir on the steps P'house and Tycho conducting
and f'works etc.. Now how many Australians do you suppose watched YOUR football
grand final. LOL.
Assumimg you are refering to mobile wrestling where a packed house is 30,000, i
would say not many. hahahahaha.
Of course i wouldn't be watching it ya drongo. We would still be recovering
from our own grand final where a packed house is 95,000 bods,  and millions
more watching on TV. <;~)))))))
I'll talk to Harvey and find out, but maybe it was Graeme Lyall 'cos he's done
a lot of those GF's.
