"The" as part of the name is stretching it quite a bit.

I enjoyed Marina Hyde's description of Trump with a sanitary napkin on the side of his head, compared to the small bandage he had when he left the hospital.

His biggest hit, yes, but many remember him for his rendition of the national anthem at the 1968 world series game. It's truly inspired and beautiful, but many people hated it because it's not the same dreary, hard to understand traditional version.

Surprisingly I don’t recall that rendition.

He apparently had already recorded it -- a B side on a 45, I think -- when someone he knew in the music industry suggested he perform it for game 5 of that world series. The rest is history, but probably not in your country for obvious reasons.
When Lady Gaga performed the national anthem for Biden's inauguration (in her Oaxacan braids!), I posted it on facebook. it was loved by many, but one of my conservative cousins hated it. In the ensuing conversation, she would not attack me (because of the same blood in our veins?) but viciously went after one of my friends.
People are weird.
