It's also one that the average person can sing, unlike our Anthem.
Actually, the average person can sing the National Anthem. The problem is that you won't be able to find a key that most people can sing it in. The National Anthem has a tessitura of a twelfth, which is pretty much what the average voice is capable of. The problem is that not everybody's twelfth covers the same range.
And don't forget, the tune is an old English drinking song, "To Anacreon in Heaven." And like all drinking songs, it has too many verses.
