Utilizing what seems to be a vocoder set-up, Deacon started the rendition by singing the Nationwide Anthem as is, albeit with some autotune layered onto his voice. As he hit the second verse, although, he started including harmonies, culminating in a heavily-layered, virtually haunting bridge and outro; maybe to honor the “O’s,” as they’re affectionately known as in Baltimore, Deacon additionally attacked the “O” in “O say does that star-spangled banner but wave?” with a growling shout.
