This M'sian chap actually did his version of Negaraku (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyiBvJtJ5Z4) which mocks at the M'sian Govt. We should be glad that this is not done on out anthem. But seriously, these SMU chaps should be intelligent enough to know that National Anthem are not meant to be played with.

American and European TV shows make fun of their own national anthems all the time. Only uptight Singaporeans with a stick up their ass can be so god damn petty. For goodness sake, it's just a stupid song that the PAP paid an Indonesian to write for them.

I had also attended the event and had really enjoyed the show. At the segment when the trio was doing the rendition of Singapore National Anthem, I was thinking some audience for sure will voice issues against it - The typical conservative and narrow-minded person I’m quite sure.

First, I agree we should respect our nation and I am proud of what Singapore had achieved so far. Singing the National Anthem is one way to express our patriotic feeling, but the National Anthem itself is not saint! The presenting format of the National Anthem should be considered according to circumstances before judgment is made about its appropriateness. If it was to be sung during National Day, each day in the morning before class starts or when the nation won medals… (You get what I mean – formal situations), we will definitely expect it to be proper, order and serious. But C’mon Virtuoso 2007 was a singing and song composing competition! I thought it was CREATIVE to showcase the national anthem in a rearranged light-hearted way. Singapore had more than enough of rules and restrictions to inhibit creativity, if we are going to even lecture the students on this, our government can forget about promoting a creative and freedom nation!

[Maybe that’s why SMU is different, the students challenge the norm]

You should see how this guy turns the American anthem into a Vietnam War protest.
