Revision as of 00:54, 2 March 2008

The Grouch Anthem is Oscar's opening song in Follow That Bird. Oscar sings the song in front of a giant American flag, as a spoof of Patton. In the middle of the song, Oscar is joined by a chorus of humming Grouches. After both verses have been sung, Oscar delivers a soliloquy with Grouches singing in the background.

While it is usually considered proper to stand during the performance of an anthem, the audience is obliged to remain seated for the Grouch Anthem, as it is a theatrical film and Oscar told the audience to remain seated.
