It was supposed to be My Country Tis Of Thee.... but I couldn't understand a word she was singing. Maybe I was distracted by that thing on her head.

The melody was derived from the British national anthem, God Save the King or Queen, by way of a German adaptation.

She didn't sing the anthem either. The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem, which sounds like the British anthem I think.

Unfortunately "count" didn't sound like count.

That was a shiteous rendition.
