Guilty Canadian Admission:

In my teens I lived in Brockville Ontario near Ogdensburg New York and watched a lot of US channels. The Star Spangled Banner came on at the beginning of the broadcast day for some channels.

For many years, I thought the first line was “Jose can you see”

When I was a kid I thought the “for which it stands” in the national anthem was in reference to a country called “witchistan”, which was presumably full of witches.

  Nah, Witchistan’s national anthem is much more of a banger.

I accidentally came up with a Minnesotan version: “Oh hey, can you see”
