Even the plain notes of The Star-Spangled Banner are ostentatious, occupying over an octave and a half. The song lends itself to soloists rather than collective singing.
I would go further and ask for changing the national anthem to a song that anyone can sing. God Save the King is a good example of what a country should go for.
