Yes and no. My Country, 'Tis of Thee uses the melody to the UK (and others) national anthem God Save the Queen.

The Marine's Halls of Montezuma is a borrowed melody too, I think.

'The Star Spangled Banner' music is from an old German drinking song.

Either way, FOX has the worse announcers on the planet.
