I hope somebody warns Alicia Keys though. That is something that could throw you off if you are not expecting it.
I'll never forget the time that Yankees fans reprimanded me for it in Baltimore
Yankees fans, seriously, they are the definition of disrespectful fans.
The "Oh" is not as disrespectful as some "remix" would be.

It's a soccer thing. I hate soccer and it makes me feel like I'm watching the world cup. Not a fan.
Re: How loud will the "Oh" be during the National Anthem next week?
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but IIRC the "O!" started at Orioles games in the days of the late Wild Bill Hagy, who used to lead the "O-R-I-O-L-E-S-ORIOLES!" chant from Section 34 of Memorial Stadium. Folks took to shouting "O!" at the appropriate point in the National Anthem as if to begin the Orioles chant--and it was "O!", not "O's!"
