Damn You! you took my song!
Ahh well Then, givin my occupation and the nature of our current actions
I will go with "LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR"

I like it the way it is, but if I were the supreme autocratic hooha and had a bit of a crazy streak, I suppose I'd make it "Bohemian Rhapsody," only because I'd like to see tens of thousands of people sing it at once at sporting events.

The Star Spangled Banner is a song about Americans losing a battle in the War of 1812. Since the age of 6, I have wondered why the US chose a song about its own military losing. The Fuck Yeah song won't work for an obvious reason. Most of the patriotic American songs are about God. That leaves just one song I know of that's pro-United States, is actually about the United States, and doesn't get bleeped on national TV. Rent an old WWF video and listen carefully as Hulk Hogan is walking out to the ring. That's what should be the national anthem.

pretty much any ratm song.

Stardust.

"Zipedee doo da" performed by Portishead, a la Bill Bailey, or maybe, on a more likely note, "Jerusalem" (And Did Those Feet In Ancient Time...) for it is pure awesome.

I'd replace the current one with Finlandia... ...or perhaps with this: http://cc.oulu.fi/~thu/personal/Finland.html

Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land."

From the Encyclopedia Smithsonian

Resentment for Britain’s interference with American international trade and impressment of American sailors combined with American expansionist visions led Congress to declare war on Great Britain on June 18, 1812.

In the early stages of the war, the American navy scored victories in the Atlantic and on Lake Erie while Britain concentrated its military efforts on its ongoing war with France. But with the defeat of Emperor Napoleon’s armies in April 1814, Britain turned its full attention to the war against an ill-prepared United States. Admiral Alexander Cochrane, the British naval commander, prepared to attack U.S. coastal areas, and General Robert Ross sought to capture towns along the East Coast to create diversions while British army forces attacked along the northern boundaries of the United States.

In August 1814, General Ross and his seasoned troops landed near the nation’s capital. On August 24, at Bladensburg, Maryland, about 30 miles from Washington, his five-thousand-member British force defeated an American army twice its size. That same night, British troops entered Washington. They set fire to the United States Capitol, the President’s Mansion, and other public buildings. The local militia fled, and President James Madison and wife Dolley barely escaped.

The Battle of Baltimore
With Washington in ruins, the British next set their sights on Baltimore, then America’s third-largest city. Moving up the Chesapeake Bay to the mouth of the Patapsco River, they plotted a joint attack on Baltimore by land and water. On the morning of September 12, General Ross’s troops landed at North Point, Maryland, and progressed towards the city. They soon encountered the American forward line, part of an extensive network of defenses established around Baltimore in anticipation of the British assault. During the skirmish with American troops, General Ross, so successful in the attack on Washington, was killed by a sharpshooter. Surprised by the strength of the American defenses, British forces camped on the battlefield and waited for nightfall on September 13, planning to attempt another attack under cover of darkness.

Meanwhile, Britain’s naval force, buoyed by its earlier successful attack on Alexandria, Virginia, was poised to strike Fort McHenry and enter Baltimore Harbor. At 6:30 AM on September 13, 1814, Admiral Cochrane’s ships began a 25-hour bombardment of the fort. Rockets whistled through the air and burst into flame wherever they struck. Mortars fired 10- and 13-inch bombshells that exploded overhead in showers of fiery shrapnel. Major Armistead, commander of Fort McHenry and its defending force of one thousand troops, ordered his men to return fire, but their guns couldn’t reach the enemy’s ships. When British ships advanced on the afternoon of the 13th, however, American gunners badly damaged them, forcing them to pull back out of range. All through the night, Armistead’s men continued to hold the fort, refusing to surrender. That night British attempts at a diversionary attack also failed, and by dawn they had given up hope of taking the city. At 7:30 on the morning of September 14, Admiral Cochrane called an end to the bombardment, and the British fleet withdrew. The successful defense of Baltimore marked a turning point in the War of 1812. Three months later, on December 24, 1814, the Treaty of Ghent formally ended the war

Advance Australia Fair really isn't that bad. I think what's pathetic is when most of our football players don't even know the entire national anthem. Now Australian football players aren't the most intelligent breed so I'd have the anthem changed to something simple to learn and not easy to forget, like the theme to Hogans Heros.

The lowest form of life that's crawling in our streets
From seedy dope pushers to the politicians we meet
The sorry religious vomit that infests in our TVs
The weapons that we sell to the trash in the middle east
Murderous drug smugglers pay their way to pass
They look the other way when they take the kickback
We've got to put a stop to this senseless bullshit
Take all these people and throw them in the pit

Let us know - where our tax dollars are spent
Tell us how - how much it costs to repent
Time has come - for us to take a stand
Let us know - when you meet our demands

You can take this all to hell
Shove it up your ass where the sun ain't shining
We know now what it takes to defend

When they're done, what's left for me?
This social disorder that's causing us pain
Indecent disease, it's they who are to blame

Let us know - where our tax dollars are spent
Tell us how - how much it costs to repent

At least the American national anthem talks about, well America.

In Britain, what do we have?

*In most boring voice ever* God save our gracious queen...*

SAVE THE QUEEN?! Why?!

Not "God save Britain and all who live there" and no lyrics about how great the country is. No, we sing about our fucking Queen! It is bloody moronic.

I would quite happily have this changed to something like "Rule Britania" or just anything with a beat, not this droning crap that no-one even knows the full lyrics too.

it is moronic - and they really shouldn't have put "God" in like that - not that i object to the religious reference, just its in pretty bad place...

all you have to do is put an "oh" in front of that line to get the true sentiment: "oh God :rolleyes: (this is so freakin lame) save our (boring-ass) Queen" ;)

hmmm that probably makes more sense being said than typed... ah well


i've changed my mind though. if i were the dictator of a country i'd have "When I Die I'll Cast A Shadow" by Pantera as my kick-ass anthem :cool:

I liked Eddie Izzard's thought's on the British National Anthem.

"Now the Queen lives in a very big house, with a very big fence around it, and people with guns outside of that. That's one saved fucking Queen. It should be 'God Attack the Queen' "

Not only is it about that obscure war but it's based on a British DRINKING song called 'To Anacreon in Heaven'. Maybe America should take a hint from Michael Moore and make it 'We will we will rock you.' which everyone knows the words for anyway.

His Grace, etc etc, the Supreme Lord Chancellor of Cathenia

Not that there's anything wrong with the Canadian anthem (its best en francais ) but I always thought God Save The Queen as performed by the Sex Pistols would've been kinda neat.

The Internationale is really nice too, though it would kinda spit in the eye of our southern neighbours. (Which can be dangerous. re: Hussein, Sadam)

I plan to change the british theme song to "Bring me sunshine" , Sung by morcombe and wise. :D

Failing that, we'll have The Imperial March. :D

Actually I think that the 3 best (musically) anthems are:

1. Ireland.
2. France.
3. USA.

Though I've always wondered why a country with strict neutrality laws, barely any army, and that has never been in a war (ever), has "A Soldier's Song" as the anthem?

you're gonna get mad at me...i like American Idiot as the anthem ooohhh....or maybe Another Loser Anthem...those songs are pretty cool....

i'd keep it as 'God Save the Queen'...but the Sex Pistols' version

God save the queen by the sex pistols.

Thats a pretty lame song.

I've always thought that Enigma's "Modern Crusaders" would make an excellent Libertarian political party youth rally song...

The national Anthem should be either "Principles of Lust", or "Senschuct"

Not only is it about that obscure war but it's based on a British DRINKING song called 'To Anacreon in Heaven'.

Actually, random trivia, it was "Anacreon in the Sky"

And the song is about an American fort not surrenduring despite being completely overwhelemed. It's supposed to be inspirational because, no matter how bad things were, the soldiers never gave up and kept on going.

Well, we didn't lose the battle, but it wasn't a win. What happened was the Britished shelled Ft. McHenry (?) throughout the night. They withdrew because their plan to weather down the beleaguered troops didn't work. As the British ships set sail from the harbor, the commander of the fort ordered the regular flag lowered and a larger flag raised. The fort drum and fife corps started up a rendition of 'Yankee Doodle' as they cheered the British withdrawal. It is that flag which is known as Old Glory and is in the Smithsonian. The original poem from which the national anthem is derived, was written by a Boston attorney captured by the British named Francis Scott Key. Next time, pick up a history book before replying. :headbang:

Now, my version of the national anthem:
O'er azure skies,
And emerald plains,
Where freedom and justice prevail.
With strength and courage,
We'll fight to the end,
For liberty in our land!

"We don't know how lucky we are" By Fred Dagg.
(Maori mythology says that Maui fished up the north island of new zealand, for those of you who don't get the first bit)


At the dawn of the day, in the great Southern Ocean
Where the world’s greatest fish was being landed
And the boat they were pulling it into was sinking
And the sea was quite lumpy, and the weather was foul
And the bloke with the map was as pissed as an owl
And the boys called out “Maui, ya clown, let it go”
In the noise he reached down for his grandmother’s jawbone
and he winked at his mates and he said
“Boys, we don’t know how lucky we are”
“I have a feeling I have stumbled on something substantial.”

We don’t know how lucky we are
We don’t know how lucky we are
We don’t know how lucky we are
We don’t know how lucky we are

I was speaking to a mate of mine, just the other day
A bloke called Bruce Bayliss who, lives up our way
He’s been round the world on an 8th army do for a year, more or less
I said “Describe the global position, Bruce”
He said “Fred, it’s a mess.
We don’t know how lucky we are in this country.
We don’t know how lucky we are.

We don’t know how lucky we are
We don’t know how lucky we are

There’s a guy I know who lives in town
I see him about once a year I suppose
He’s had a coronary since Easter
He’s got a haemorrhage in his ear
He went bankrupt a couple of weeks back
And now his wife’s left him too
I said “You’re looking hot mate,
You’re looking clear, what are ya gonna do?”
He said “We don’t know how lucky we are
To live in this joint mate"

We don’t know how lucky we are
We don’t know how lucky we are

So when things are looking really bad
And you’re thinking of giving it a way
Remember, New Zealand’s a cracker
And I reckon come what may
If things get appallingly bad
And we’re all under constant attack
Remember, we want to see good clean ball
And for god’s sakes, feed your backs
We don’t how fortunate we are to have that place
We don’t know how propitious are the circumstances.

We don’t know how lucky we are, mate
We don’t know how lucky we are

We don’t know how lucky we are, get it right
We just don’t realise how fortunate we are
We have no idea, the luck, we possess, collectively
We just don’t know how lucky we all are. Full stop.

There is a song called "Sadame" on an anime series called "X" that is jaw dropping. I'd nominate it for the US national anthem honestly.

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

:D

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the tune was actually called 'Down Under' unless it was retitled for European release, no?

Well since America seems to be constantly involved in conflict nowadays--be it police actions or congress sanctioned war, it has been like that for a while and will probably be like that for a while into the future. Therefore America's should either be the Team America song or Lemuria's "A Day of Reckoning"

A Day of Reckoning
Low, my children, what do I see?
Your brothers and sister on the warpath
Forgiven are all your earthly sins
Make way for honour and valour in your soul

What is this, this run we’re on
A race known as the human one
Many have died and many have killed
Innocent blood is remorselessly spilled

Our land is beseeched by conflict
Far in the distance blow the horns of war
Travel beyond the mountains of peril
With faith and courage in your heart

The party is weary
Long days and nights take their toll
The howling winds are beckoning
The earth trembles beneath their feet

The last sun sets and the fire roars
A banquet, a feast for all and eye to see
Tonight we pray to all the gods of lore
With open eyes and heart we accept our fate

Drenched in blood, so will be our fatherland
In moonlight the battlefield lies beckoning

Hark, my brethren, lend me your ears
Today, on the battlefield we face our destiny
Yonder, over the mountains in the east
A new day is dawning, a day of reckoning

March over the meadows, march over the plains
Over the hills and far away
With raised spirits and sword in hand
Onwards to battle, onwards to war

I'm not from the People's Republic of China but their current National Anthem is in serious need of replacement. Its literally was taken from a movie. (about the Japanese occupation during WWII)

"The Match Of The Volunteers"

Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves!

Easy to remember! :p

I dunno... I think even if that was the national anthem, people in this country would still forget the words. :p


I know I would. :D

Uhm?

How about: Highway to Hell

Well since America seems to be constantly involved in conflict nowadays--be it police actions or congress sanctioned war, it has been like that for a while and will probably be like that for a while into the future. Therefore America's should either be the Team America song or Lemuria's "A Day of Reckoning"

A Day of Reckoning
...
you know Lemuria? kick-ass :D

My new National Anthem for Belgium would be Crusader - The Knight Who Wouldn't Die


To you I'm just a memory
An image of the one you loved
My eyes are cold and empty
When I'm looking down from above
To you I might be nothing
But I'm very much in pain
I realize I've lost you
And it's driving me insane

By the Lords that rule this world
I swear I will return
For my Kingdom and my Love
I'm shouting out

Iris tried to take my life
Deprived me of this coil
Here's my soul
And I know...

She only took my body
The mortal flesh
Here's my soul
And I know...

That even death can't keep us apart

Kneel beside my body
Never let it fall apart
From the smell of my withering flesh
To the stains on your sleepy heart
Reconquer my empty shell
Feel the armour on my back
Demons enter heaven
Only death can bring me back

By the Lords that rule this world
I swear I will return
For my Kingdom and my Love
I'm shouting out

Iris tried to take my life
Deprived me of this coil
Here's my soul
And I know...

She only took my body
The mortal flesh
Here's my soul
And I know...

That even death can't keep us apart

An awesome one for America.
BLAME CANADA
Times have changed
Our kids are getting worse
They won't obey their parents
They just want to fart and curse!
Should we blame the government?
Or blame society?
Or should we blame the images on TV?
No, blame Canada
Blame Canada
With all their beady little eyes
And flappin' heads so full of lies
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
We need to form a full assault
It's Canada's fault!
Don't blame me
For my son Stan
He saw the darn cartoon
And now he's off to join the Klan!
And my boy Eric once
Had my picture on his shelf
But now when I see him he tells me to fuck myself!
Well, blame Canada
Blame Canada
It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since Canada came along
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
They're not even a real country anyway
My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer, it's a-true
Instead he burned up like a piggy on a barbecue
Should we blame the matches?
Should we blame the fire?
Or the doctors who allowed him to expire?
Heck no!
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
With all their hockey hullabaloo
And that bitch Anne Murray too
Blame Canada
Shame on Canada
Ohhh...
The smut we must stop
The trash we must bash
Laughter and fun
Must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before somebody thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus

you know Lemuria? kick-ass :D

Sometimes I feel I'm probably the only American who knows Lemuria.

Oh and I have a last.fm profile too! (http://www.last.fm/user/caedes/)

The Internationale.

All countries should be required to have The Rite of Spring (or Le Sacre du Printemps if you prefer) as their national anthem. I know, there aren't any words, it's about 35 minutes long, and it would be confusing if every country had the same anthem. But it's the greatest song ever.

EDIT: Whoops. Written by Igor Stravinsky in 1913.

If I could, I'd amend the singing of the National Anthem, possibly to be prefaced by the traditional, 'God Save the Queen', or to be followed by a rendition of 'The Internationale'. Depending on the crowd.

*Edit: The Internationale.
You beat me to it. Well, you beat me halfway to it.
