Among the annals of national anthems as a prelude to sporting events, few have topped the one delivered by Whitney Houston before Super Bowl XXV in 1991 in Tampa. A woman, her incredible voice and the bare minimum of extraneous notes. Her rendition came at a particularly patriotic time, just after the onset of the Persian Gulf War, and was released as a single. It was re-released after the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Houston donated all proceeds to charity. She ranks among the best of all-time because of the circumstances.
The Origin With a stirring melody and lyrics that echo the enduring hope and spirit of Singaporeans for progress, the National Anthem, 'Majulah Singapura' (meaning 'Onward Singapore'), is a musical expression of Singapore's identity as a nation. 'Majulah Singapura' was composed in 1958 by the late Encik Zubir Said. Then Mayor of the City Council of Singapore, Mr Ong Eng Guan, approached Encik Zubir Said to write an official song for the City Council to commemorate the newly renovated Victoria Theatre. It was first played by the Singapore Chamber Ensemble.

It was performed again on 3 December 1959 as Singapore's National Anthem. Recounting his thoughts on writing the Anthem, Encik Zubir Said said: The difficulty is in such a short melody, I have to put in all the words in very simple it must be very simple, understandable for all the races in Singapore. So that takes long. Not the music but the words take long. I got to be very careful.
