national anthems

I've had Canada's national anthem stuck in my head for a while now. From the Simpsons, no less.

France has ! :D

"Allons enfants de la patrie le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
l'étandard sanglant est levé !"
etc...

The Postal Service - Natural Anthem

The Welsh one would be good, but it's all in Welsh and I don't speak a word of it.




Actually, it's crap.

I reckon the angry Chinese national anthem is great. Complete with the fists in the air and everything.

As Bill Bailey puts it "Why should we insight a non-specific deaity to bail out these un-elected sponges"

and the thing is all the anti-royalists and aethiests sing it 'cos it's their national anthem

I like the scottish "national anthem" although maybe thats jst my patriotic side showing through,

Personaly my favorite is the Irish national anthem it's got such a strong message :choc:

Added notage : The japanese anthem is just bananas:

May the reign of the Emperor continue for a thousand, nay, eight thousand generations and for the eternity that it takes for small pebbles to grow into a great rock and become covered with moss.

Ah, those people sure are bonkers.

squinn the scottish national anthem is a dry, slow, boring dirge.

I think to every patriot their national anthem is the best, and to every person a bit more skeptical about their nation the anthem is considered less than brillaint. Many anthems are inspiring others less so but to pick a definative one would be foolish. Besides i think they all sound the same when badly sung by the puplic at events.

I think the best anthem, well maybe it should be called a themesong, I made for my friend whom I call Canada on the basis that he is from Canada and I am not (go me! USA!). It certainly is one of the better themesongs in my opinion, but only if sung right and not infront of patriotic canadians. maybe when I finish the 2nd verse I will post it. I only have 4 lines so far. Im gonna go make more then post it up here. unless someone would prefer me not to.

if i remember correctly waltzing matilda isn't australia's official national anthem but there are calls for it to be.

actually your probably right on that

"Flower of Scotland" still nsights hatred towards the English, 700 years after the wars of independance

After only 60 years we have forgiven the Germans and they put millions of jews into concentration camps.

Ive know people who have been descriminated against because they are english, it's just not right

I am actually a supporter of Scottish independance, but if we hate England so much, would Independance mean war? :choc:
