What a difference a few **tes make

Singer and YouTuber (http://mashable.com/category/youtube/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) Chase Holfelder recorded "The Star-Spangled Banner" in a mi**r key. Typically, the age-old anthem is sung in a major key, but Holfelder decided to conduct a little experiment to see how the powerful song would sound with a key change.

Although most songs sung in mi**r keys sound sad and somber, the usually climactic tune gets even more dramatic when you play with the **tes. Get your tissues out, patriots — this one is a tear-jerker.
