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.

I actually snickered. Thanks for that.
I think Jose is from Witchistan
Nah, Witchistan’s national anthem is much more of a banger.
Bonus points if your name is Jose.
I accidentally came up with a Minnesotan version: “Oh hey, can you see”
