The Spanglish Version of the "Star Spangled Banner"

My absolute favorite version of The Star Spangled Banner is a Spanglish version by Rebekah Del Rio. It was featured in the film "Southland Tales." The first few lines are sung in Spanish and the rest in English. The music is what really impresses me though. It is only a string quartet and they chose to do it in a bleak, no hope type of style. I guess this was done to fit in with the film.

It is incredible, IMO. Tell me what you think: Is it a freedom of speech issue?
