Ook van het Amerikaanse volkslied, 'The Star-Spangled Banner', bestaat een alternatieve versie
"Oh say can you see
Any bedbugs on me?
If you do, pick a few,
And they look just like you!"
Een langere versie luidt als volgt:
"Oh say can you see
Any bedbugs on me?
If you do, pick a few,
And we'll have bedbug stew-ew.
Oh say can you see
Any leeches on me?
If you do, pick a few,
And we'll serve them up too-oo.
With a cockroach deee-sert
And spider's brain tea
It's a meal for a ghoul
And I'm sure you'll agree
Oh say can you see
Any wor-or-orms on me-ee?
If you do...Pick a few...
And we'll have...SPAGHETTI!"
