course, I'm the type of asshole who will yell "flat!" when a quartet is singing it out of tune before a soccer game

I do think the aforementioned descending sixth followed by the raised subdominant in m.3 is more challenging than anything in e.g. "O Canada" or "God Save the Queen".

Couldn't you just go up by a major third rather than a 10th from the verse to the chorus of "Lean on Me".

?
The only reason it has a 'wide range' is because of the registral shift, which can easily be left out without changing anything in the key or harmony. Some notated versions already do this:https://s3.amazonaws.com/halleonard-pagepreviews/HL_DDS_12696710WwyADl52k.png
I voted keep SSB bc good btw; just don't agree that it would not be harder to sing.

Yeah there's really no reason to sing the first verse in the same octave as Bill does - indeed, when I play it, I do all the verses the same way. But I am not like a muso dude who knows things

song has a much greater impact starting in the lower octave, then jumping, for the first chorus.

Surely but it seems like it would be much easier to adapt for amateur group singing.

It’s definitely harder to sing just because there is a lot more going on melodically; the question was “aren’t the intervals trickier” and my answer is “not really, there are just more of them”

itt: several incredibly accomplished, knowledgeable, well-trained, and talented musicians exhibit very little sympathy for non-musicians

you are a very good singer tho

aw thanks. tbh i wasn't knocking what you said re: starting up an octave. it's just not my personal choice if I was singing it, but...you had a good point!
i'm mostly just catty about people who sing the anthems at sporting events but only cos I'm secretly jealous that I haven't been asked to do it yet!

A worthy addition to the anthem canon:

most of the songs playing at this airport bar would qualify as great new national anthems to me
Most EW&F songs would be great new national anthems.
