How many of you have a National Anthem?

(And dibs on "Time Has Come Again" by The Chambers Brothers)

Our national anthem is some lyrics, set to Beethoven's Fur Elsie.

Our national anthem is White Reflection (from Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz).h

The Zefyeren National Anthem, 'Zefyrz, notre Nation'

"Zefyrz, notre pays, votre nom que nous nous tenons si cher, nous savons à nos coeurs, que nos personnes n'ont rien à craindre, pour notre liberté, pour notre liberté, pour la nation nous appelons notre maison"

Yay, music threads everywhere.

I have had 2 previous national anthems. The first, back in my GDODAD days, before the real rise of the Conglomerate, has lyrics to be sung to a sorta sing-songy playground tune:

USSSB National Anthem

"On Santa Barbara's Shores"

Lyrics

On Santa Barbara's shores we go,
shores we go,
shores we go!
On Santa Barbara's shores we go,
playing in the sand.

Our missiles go up really high,
really high,
really high!
Our missiles go up really high,
and nuke our enemies.

Chorus:
O, Santa Barbara!
Mighty on the coast!
O, Santa Barbara!
Nation with the most!
Never while you stand tall,
will the stupid rule!
They shall be crushed under
Santa Barbara's boot!
Conquering democracy
by Santa Barbara's hand!

Oppress and kill the ones we hate,
ones we hate,
ones we hate!
Oppress and kill the ones we hate,
all on live TV.

Those who defy, we'll subjugate,
subjugate,
subjugate!
Those who defy, we'll subjugate,
terrify and destroy.

(Chorus)

Those lyrics we don't really use anymore. I suppose its still a national song of sorts, especially at sports events. :wink:

Then we got a new national anthem, this one without any words, and it was done just with MIDI, and I've decided I don't like it enough to post anywhere from now on, even if I recorded it with my Korg and using good orchestral samples.

And so lastly, there's a new one, using aforementioned samples. Coming soon...

Yay Santa Barbara, well done..

:lol:

Ruschi has a national anthem, but Sovereign Rustito keeps changing it for no apparent reason, despite the will of his council. One week it'll be "Welcome to the Jungle," the next, "YMCA," and after that, "Hakuna Matata." This tends to create some havoc for national anthem singers at baseball games or auto races, needless to say.

"Changes," by David Bowie

IC: We use Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, the "Ode to Joy."
Or, more accurately, the prelude to the fourth movement of the Ninth Symphony.

OOC: It was formerly the Europeon Anthem in RL, but they scrapped the lyrics. They kept the tune, however.

For the music.

The lyrics are listed below, in the original German, then English, then French.

German
Freude, schöner Götterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuer-trunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!

Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!
Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt
Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen.

English

Joy, Oh ! divine scintillation
Sparkling from Elysium,
With a cheerful animation
Goddess, to thy shrine we come.

These our nations once divided
Now your magic spells unite,
Where your wing does beat around them
Brotherhood and love delight.

With a kiss bestowed on millions
Embraced in fraternity,
Let us build a world of union
And peace for all humanity.

French

Etincelle, Oh ! Joie divine
Jaillie de l’Elyséum
L’allégresse nous anime
Pour entrer dans ton royaume.

Par ta magie sont unanimes
Des peuples jadis divisés,
Là où ton aile domine
Règne la fraternité.

Soyons unis comme frères
D’un baiser au monde entier
Amis bâtissons une ère
De paix pour l’humanité.

The title translates to "Go forward, Goobergunchia."

The Aelosian anthem is "Ulairë nos Othar" (Requiem of warriors, from the Record of Lodoss War soundtrack)

Our national anthem is the song "Service to the Ruler, for the Glory of Conquest"

Service to the Ruler, for the Glory of Conquest

Serve the Ruler,
Serve him well!
His enemies have fell,
As those in the future shall!

[REFRAIN]: Serve the Ruler, Serve him well! For Revjak must grow and conquer! Serve the Ruler, Serve him well! For the glory of Revjak!

Onward, our armies go
Marching through mountains high and valleys low
For the glory of power and conquest
We march, wearing a kevlar vest!

[REFRAIN]

Forward and Forward, we continue on!
Forward, Revjak, in all your glory! March on forever!
Forward, Conquest, in all your glory! May you be many and great!
Forward, Ruler, in all your glory! May you long reign!

[REFRAIN]

Glory, Glory, we heap you on!
Glory to Revjak, Greatest land in the world!
Glory to Conquest, Greatest goal in the world!
Glory to the Ruler, Greatest man in the world!

[REFRAIN]

Serve Revjak, it is worthy!
Serve conquest, it is grand!
Serve the Ruler, he is powerful!
Serve we must, or die!

The Fleet anthem is the Mikado Overture.

"Welcome To The Jungle" almost made the final cut. The voting was very close.
