Why do you only sing the first stanza of the star spangled banner?
This may be the most common habit, but is not universal. The use of only verse of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is the result of the context in which it is being sung, typically as an isolated item in the midst (or often the beginning)of an event devoted to some OTHER purpose (civic meeting, baseball game, medals ceremonies at the Olympics and other sporting events) Note that this is NOT unique the U.S. anthem. You will find exactly the same thing with other songs, patriotic and otherwise, used in such settings, e.g., "God Bless America" (in which we actually only sing the CHORUS!)and "America the Beautiful". In fact, there are a great many familiar songs that, when used outside a service or ceremony in which SINGING is a central piece, many only ever sing (or know!) the first verse two. Think of your typical Christmas carolers. The fact that most folks ONLY sing patriotic songs, etc. in such settings leads to their only knowing the first verse, which re-enforces the one-verse custom. On the other hand, a special service (e.g., religious service) in which there is extensive singing, it is common to sing multiple verses of these songs, just as is done with other songs. (Note that hymnbooks including the national anthem and related songs typically print ALL verses.) A few other factors that may be relevant: 1) modern U.S. society is not a "singing culture" in the sense that earlier generations were. In most places people simply do not sing in public as much as was once the norm (perhaps especially so for men) So we're lucky to get anyone to sing ONE verse of something! 2) (related to the first), the 'professionalizing' of such songs in many venues (e.g. sporting events) - or at least handing them off as a favor or means of favoring some individual or group - discourages the singing of multiple verses. How many would stand for the soloist rendering all verses of the national anthem? 3) probably not really a factor (since other patriotic songs, etc., are likewise commonly restricted to one verse), but the fact that the 'storyline' of the song (about the battle for Baltimore in the War of 1812), even though drawn to fit a broader picture of the survival of the Union, is not familiar to most people (and how long will folks sing a long song about a story they don't get?!) 4)also probably not a key factor, but perhaps encouraging the limitation to one verse in some instances, is the fact that many find the song difficult to sing (This again relates to our not being a 'singing culture', since the tune used for this song was VERY popular for public singing of a whole host of songs in the early decades of the Republic.)
