CULTURE: Christina Bungles National Anthem!

There are three things you have to do when singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl: Look good, hit the right notes, and sing the correct lyrics. Christina Aguilera is two for three. Aguilera, who isn't exactly an anthem novice (she sang the song at Game 7 of last year's NBA finals, notes the New York Daily News), botched the lyrics. What she was supposed to sing: "O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming." What she actually sang: "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last reaming."

Twitter went wild, notes the Daily News, which shares this gem of a Tweet: "Egypt thanks Christina Aguilera for botching the national anthem and bumping them off the Twitter trending list."

Aguilera says she just got caught up in the moment last night and lost her place in the song. “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through,” she says in a statement to the AP. Aguilera repeated a line—while mangling it at the same time—singing, “What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last reaming” instead of “O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.”
