Maya Rudolph Added Beyoncé Lyrics To The National Anthem And It's Perfect

As it should be.

Maya Rudolph served as Tulane University's commencement speaker over the weekend.

Before she finished her address to the graduates, she asked a favor.

But this was no ordinary performance of the national anthem.

There were vocal ad-libs...

Lots of faces...

A verse from "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."

Some audience interaction.

And, understandably, a Beyoncé medley.

"Single Ladies" and "Drunk in Love" made it in.

Then there were some more theatrics.

And back to the original lyrics for the big finish.

Check out the full performance here.
