Many peole believe it is truly the correct title of the song.  The "Save Our Guns" organization, for example.  Check their

I certainly wouldn't want to argue with them.

N.B. Merriam-Webster defines "anniversary" as "the annual 
recurrence of a date marking a notable event" thus the term 
"one week anniversary" becomes an oxymoron.
