Messing with the nation Anthem

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

So people one of the most controversial things happening here is a debate concerning the national anthem...During New Years Eve time fire works will spurt and a disco version of the anthem will be played...

what are your views? should an anthem be changed/remixed/heard to fit in with this "younger generation"?

Im only 28 and i heard it and i think it sounds horrible its like messing with the flag....i seriously dont think it should be played!

ps. Im not sure if this should go here or world events!

and i cant delete this one sorry peoples

They should do what they want to it

I dont really think its a too good of an idea. I've heard that some old folks are really angry about the whole thing, but hey what can u do? It will probably just be a techno beat with the lyrics played a bit faster.

I'm 21 and I believe it shouldn't be changed. Half the feeling you get from singing it comes from the sound. Before doing something like that they should have put it to a vote. I'm pretty sure it would loose but thats the right thing to do, even it it won.

this is for Australia Right?

if it is then I am totally against it...im 14 and ive heard it and thats no way to treat something that means so much to Australia...And they even put in an upbeat party version of Waltzing Matilda...Thats not even a part of our anthem!

Eh, look what the Sex Pistols did to OUR national anthem.

God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb

God save the queen
She aint no human being
There is no future
In England's dreaming

Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's no future no future
No future for you

God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves

God save the queen
'Cos tourists are money
Our figures head
Is not what she seems

Oh god save history
God save your mad parade
Oh lord god have mercy
All crimes are paid

When there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future you're future

God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves

God save the queen
We mean it man
And there is no future
In England's dreaming

No future no future
No future for you
No future no future
No future for me

No future no future
No future for you
No future no future
No future for you
No future no future for you

I think we should keep our Anthem, but then I am a monarchist. Trying to destory our hertage to americanise ourselves is sad really, what your nation is should be teasured not sold off.

[Citizen Bleys]

If you're going to butcher your national anthem, why not add a giant penis to your flag?

[Red Haze]

You should never mess around with your anthem. A national anthem represents your country, so if you want something crappy and new why not have Justin Timberlake sing it? Anthems should stay as they are.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I support changing the tune to something a bit more noble than an old British drinking song.

[theundeadhero]

Whose national anthem are we talking about anyway?

[Denmark]

Radiohead - The National Anthem

Everyone
Everyone around here
Everyone is so near
It's holding on
It's holding on

Everyone
Everyone is so near
Everyone has got fear
It's holding on
It's holding on

It's holding on
It's holding on
It's holding on

someone explain those lyrics to me.

ANYWAY. Australia's national anthem, right? Never heard it.
