Not to go all anti-USA here, but a part of why i hate that song so much (and when i say song i mean ANY rendition of that song by ANY artist) is because i suddenly picture American flags everywhere and silly baseball games or overly patriotic people. If i wasn't familiar with it, it might not bother me too much but the fact it's so well known irritates me. Especially in the context of where you would normally hear it - sports events, silly rallies etc. What's worse is i don't think the Melvins version is even tongue in cheek. Im sure it's straight up patriotism. I, and probably many other non-American Melvins fans, can do without that. For sure, national anthems suck the world over! That includes the English one too.
