Alright, so here's the deal:

Randomly select a tune from your mp3 collection (or CDs for all you goody goodies out there). That's your country's new national anthem. perhaps we'll come up with something funny, or appropriate.

Hmm.

I got "Windpower" by Thomas Dolby.

March Of The Pigs by Nine Inch Nails.
Neither particularly funny, nor appropriate...oh, well, I could try again.

Nsendalen's Current National Anthem Is:

A Rather Reflective Tune That Speaks Tones, called:

halo_love_theme_sketch.mp3

*Sniff* So moving.

Glorious by Eddie Izzard.

Don't think that counts though (but it would be fantastic for sport events) so I tried again and got:

Don't Fear The Reaper by HIM

Danzig - How the Gods Kill

second try

Therion - Typhon

hmmm... don't know that either is appropriate but there does seem to be a theme going on.

Zen Café - Mies jonka ympäriltä tuolit viedään
Can't say it doesn't fit... For the Finnish-ly challenged, the first song of international renown that came up on random on the MP3 playlist is AC/DC - Dirty deeds done dirt cheap. Works.

HIM's DFTR sucks, BÖC all the way! (You're gonna want that cowbell!)

Last Tango, by Leg Cramp. Quite good, seeing as it's from a movie about a Soviet gangster in a country filled with their Gnomish equivalents.

Beasti Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn

mmm newp...

The Faint - Erection

maybe...

The Faint (again)- Agenda Suicide

Right on theres the new national anthem

Alfredo Casero Techno Remix of Shimauta

Seven Nations - Seeds of Life

Or the Factory Song.

It's all good.

Barry McGuire - "Eve Of Destruction"

Hmm...

Looks like it's Crosstown Traffic performed by The Gil Evans Orchestra....hmmm, maybe we'll see what's next......
ah,
I Often Think They Have Merely Gone Out! adapted from Mahler by Uri Caine....although I think my national anthem should be vague humming....

Ok, i hit random...

Losing My Religion by R.E.M.


...

..

.

hmmmmm, could be interesting...

Wierd Al - Asshole son


:D

Monty Python's Galaxy Song - I can live with that.

Reel big fish - Somebody hates me

Kind of appropriate since I am an evil dictator type person.

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog

lmao..

Rammstein - Amerika

I'm doing this five times:

First try- Toby Keith- Stays In Mexico (well, considering what I have in Earth II I guess it works...)

Second try- K-OS- Crabbuckit (works better...a more exploritative song)

Third try- Talib Kweli f/Mary J. Blige- I Try (a song about overcoming hardships...inspirational)

Fourth try- Beastie Boys- Right Right Now (Cool)

Fifth try- Blackmore's Night- Once In A Million Years (Medieval-ish...but the praise of nobility is a plus)

HIM's DFTR sucks, BÖC all the way! (You're gonna want that cowbell!)
I wouldn't say it sucks. But Blue Öyster Cults is far far superior. But hey, I chose it randomly, so what can I do?

The Beta Band - Dry the Rain

Hardly applicable or even funny.

I'd try again, but I want to listen.

"Beer for my horses" by Toby Keith and Willie Nelson.

First try - "Secret Of My Success" by Night Ranger

Second - "The Government's Gonna Test Me When I Pee" by Brian Robbins

Third - "Sit On My Face" by Monty Python.

I'll stick with that one...

"Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine" how true is that! Plus it's got that whole big band orchestral thing going for it. Definately National Anthem material.

Dream Theatre - Pull me Under :( My people aren't gonna like this

Lou Monte - Dominick The Donkey The Italian Christmas Donkey....


ROFL!!!!!

Finally got round to trying again:
Attempt #2: Zyclone B Bathhouse by NOFX....slightly controversial possibly.
Attempt #3: Blame Canada, from the South Park movie soundtrack. Maybe I will.
Attempt #4: Leaders Of Men by Joy Division. Yeah, that's appropriate I suppose.
Attempt #5: PTF2012 by VNV Nation. It could actually *be* a national anthem, so I'll go with that.

Hotel California - the eagles
