Pronunciation: mad them

Sentence: It started again the rousing rendition of "Oh say can you see"...over and over again. She tried listening to all other types of music, even annoying songs, but the madthem persisted. Why did it keep haunting her? And then one day, she figured it out. She always fell asleep watching the late, late movie and at it's end, the US National anthem played until she woke up and crawled into bed. The only way to stop the madness was to go to bed earlier...and turn off the darn TV!

Etymology: Mad (affected with madness or insanity) and Anthem (a song of praise,devotion, motivation for a God, nation or cause)
