Anyone else come up with stuff for theirs?
Colodia
12-02-2005, 06:53
The United Democratic States of Colodia does not have enough drummers to play the national anthem, so we make do with a buncha kids from a high school choir class singing whatever they feel like.

Uh-oh, 6th period already? *takes off hat and puts right hand over the heart*

That was quite random: I should make it clear, this is OOC for anyone who's actually written et al. an anthem for their NS country. Sorry for the confusion.

No chance, Taku. =P

Lyrics I could come up with, but there's no way I'll start composing any music.

*edity*

I like what you've done, though. Sorta reminds me of...old FF music? o.O

National anthem support the capitalist patriorarchy.

No, it supports partiotism, which occurs in all countries. The USSR had a national anthem, if I'm not mistaken.

Taku.... TaQ! Hey, I just realized the connection of my name to one of my favourite artists! :D

Yea, I am really a music nerd, I composed that in roughly 5 minutes, but the arranging took a little longer, though it was easy for that piece.

Sarzonia
12-02-2005, 07:12
I've written songs (lyrics only) before, but I still haven't written an anthem for Sarzonia. I've made do with the Fleetwood Mac song "Freedom (http://www.nicksfix.com/freedom.htm)" as my national anthem. I almost picked "Fall From Grace (http://www.nicksfix.com/lyrics_fall_from_grace.htm)." It's my "victor's anthem." ;)

The presidential song (like "Hail to the Chief") is the Fleetwood Mac song "Destiny Rules (http://www.nicksfix.com/lyrics_destiny_rules.htm)."

Alright.

The link to the anthem for the USPE is in my sig. Let me know what you think of it! :) (EDIT: Damn. for some friggin reason, my computer won't play the link correctly.) (EDIT 2: Okay, it works now :) )

The anthem for Belle Hades is the kakariko village song (child Link) from Zelda: Ocarina of time.

Ice Hockey Players
12-02-2005, 07:44
Ice Hockey Players' national anthem: The Good Old Hockey Game, by Stompin' Tom Conners.

The Chancellor and several upper-level government officials are always introduced by that music they play at hockey games when they introduce the home team.

The Ice Hockey Players constitution has provisions against hockey lockouts or strikes. Other leagues should take from our example, not that we're naming names **cough**NHL**cough**stupidbastards**cough**killBettmanandGoodenow**

Ah, glad someone likes it :)

My family often complains when I used to listen to it incessently. The song was actually taken from the SNES game, simearth, by putting my computer's microphone near the TV's speakers. This was done years ago, and I don't have a microphone for my current computer.

Arise, ye prisoners of taxation!
Arise, producers of the earth!
For justice thunders condemnation,
A selfish world's in birth!

Altruism's chains shall not restrain us,
Arise ye slaves, no more in thrall...

Pyromanstahn

This could count as my anthem. It is to the tune of the Beatles song 'With a little help from my friends'.

What would you do if I started a fire.
Would you stop me from having my fun?
Lend me a flame and I'll show you my power,
And I'll try to set light to a nun, Oh,

I get by with a little help from my matches, mm...
I make fire with a little help from my matches, mm...
People DIE with a little help from my matches.

What do I do in the dark of the night?
(Why can't you just find some friends?)
Give me your hand, and I'll set it alight!
(Can't your pyromania end?)

NO! I get by with a little help from my matches, mm...
I make fire with a little help from my matches, mm...
People DIE with a little help from my matches.

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to BURN!
Could it be anybody?
I just need someone to BURN!

Haystacks and babies and badgers and more,
Are the kind of things I like to burn.
And burning the clergy is what I live for,
Don't let it be, LET IT BURN!

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to BURN!
Could it be anybody?
I just need someone to BURN!

Oh, I get by with a little help from my matches, mm...
I make fire with a little help from my matches, mm...
People DIE with a little help from my matches.
With a little help from my matches.
Frisbee Freaks

I love Frisbees!

Frisbee in the Sky!

Raise high the flag,
The ranks are closed and tight,
The BlackShirts march,
With firm and steady step.
|: Souls of the comrades shot by Reds and Countermight
Are in our ranks and march along in step. :|

Open the road
Just for the black battalion.
Let's clear the way
Just for the BlackShirt man.
|: In hope to the, eagle and fasces are the millions,
Dawn breaks for freedom And bread for all man. :|

This is the final
Bugle call to arms.
Already we
Are set prepared to fight.
|: Soon Fascist flags will wave on every single street.
Enslavement ends when soon we set things right. :|

The Internationale

Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.

No more deluded by reaction
On tyrants only we'll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They'll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We'll shoot the generals on our own side.

No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E'er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we'll strike while the iron is hot.

Anthem of Toujours-Rouge

The peoples flag is deepest red

It shrouded oft our martyred dead

And ere their limbs grew still and cold,

Their heart’s blood dyed its every fold

CHORUS

So raise the scarlet banner high

Within its shade we’ll live and die,

Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer

We’ll keep the red flag flying here.



Look around, the Frenchmen love its blazes

The sturdy German chants its praises,

In Moscow’s vaults its Hymns are sung,

Chicago swells the surging throng.

(chorus)

It waved about our infant might

When all ahead seemed dark as night,

It witnessed many a deed and vow,

We must not change its colour now.

(chorus)

It will recall the triumphs past,

It gives the hope of peace at last,

The banner bright, the symbol plain

Of human right and human gain.

(chorus)

It suits today the weak and base

Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place

To cringe before the rich man’s frown

And haul the sacred emblem down

(chorus)

With heads uncovered swear we all

To bear it onward till we fall,

Come dungeons dark or gallows grim

This song shall be our parting Hymn.
