You must sing the national anthem correctly

Make sure you've got your wits about you when singing the national anthem in Massachusetts. According to state law, if a person "plays, sings or renders the ''Star Spangled Banner'' in any public place, theatre, motion picture hall, restaurant or cafe, or at any public entertainment, other than as a whole and separate composition or number, without embellishment or addition in the way of national or other melodies" can face a fine. In other words, singing the national anthem incorrectly could get you in trouble.
