Today, the performance of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl is just as big a media spectacle as the half-time show and the game itself.  Huge stars are asked to deliver rousing renditions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the whole world watches to see if they mess up the words, lip-synch or perform live.  In the last few years, we have seen amazing renditions by Kelly Clarkson, The Dixie Chicks, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill and Jennifer Hudson.  Way back in 1993, even Garth Brooks stepped up and swung for the fences.  But, historically, there have been some STRANGE choices and some really bizarre renditions at The Big Game.  WATCH!
