Another user wrote, "What an inspirational National Anthem from Jimmy Buffett… his message is clear: "Anyone… literally anyone… can sing the Star Spangled Banner as long as you know the words."
Others concurred:

"I love Jimmy Buffett but that was just a little rough. But that mic drop though," another user tweeted.

A rep for Buffett didn't immediately return a request for comment on the mic drop or the performance, but something tells us the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" singer is having a good time regardless.
