Like the title says. Post what you think the national anthem of nationstates would be if it were a country. Preferably with a link so we can listen to what you picked.

"You Suffer" - Napalm Death.

"Highway to Hell" was the first song that sprung to mind.

Considering the fact that I don't much care for AC/DC, that ought to tell you something. :p

It's better with music, but i think we'd be doing some copyright infringement of sorts if i gave too much.

*intro*
One week of every year is designated National Brotherhood Week. This is just one of many such weeks honoring various worthy causes. One of my favorites is National Make-fun-of-the-handicapped Week which Frank Fontaine and Jerry Lewis are in charge of as you know. During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood. This year, for example, on the first day of the week Malcolm X was killed which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is. I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another and I know there are people in the world that do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that. Here's a song about National Brotherhood Week.
-

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

Well, that one, and, of course, Smut.

I do have a cause though. It is obscenity. I'm for it. Unfortunately the civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it owing to the nature of the laws as a matter of freedom of speech and stifling of free expression and so on but we know what's really involved: dirty books are fun. That's all there is to it. But you can't get up in a court and say that I suppose. It's simply a matter of freedom of pleasure, a right which is not guaranteed by the Constitution unfortunately. Anyway, since people seem to be marching for their causes these days I have here a march for mine. It's called...

Smut!
Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can't shut,
If it's uncut,
and unsubt- le. *(Props to WYTYG- Ed.)*

I've never quibbled
If it was ribald,
I would devour where others merely nibbled.
As the judge remarked the day that he
acquitted my Aunt Hortense,
"To be smut
It must be ut-
Terly without redeeming social importance."

Por-
Nographic pictures I adore.
Indecent magazines galore,
I like them more
If they're hard core.

(Bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties,
samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos, anything!
More, more, I'm still not satisfied!)

Stories of tortures
Used by debauchers,
Lurid, licentious, and vile,
Make me smile.
Novels that pander
To my taste for candor
Give me a pleasure sublime.
(Let's face it, I love slime.)

All books can be indecent books
Though recent books are bolder,
For filth (I'm glad to say) is in
the mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed,
Everything is lewd.
(I could tell you things about Peter Pan,
And the Wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man!)

I thrill
To any book like Fanny Hill,
And I suppose I always will,
If it is swill
And really fil-
thy.

Who needs a hobby like tennis or philately?
I've got a hobby: rereading Lady Chatterley.
But now they're trying to take it all
away from us unless
We take a stand, and hand in hand
we fight for freedom of the press.
In other words,

Smut! (I love it)
Ah, the adventures of a slut.
Oh, I'm a market they can't glut,
I don't know what
Compares with smut.

Hip hip hooray!
Let's hear it for the Supreme Court!
Don't let them take it away!

I'll invent one called:
Trolls, loonies, nerds.

Anyone wanna help? :p

I meant something like a youtube link.


Well, that one, and, of course, Smut.
Whoops, forgot the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dILeb1sEHZM

You, of course, SOOOOOO rock.

Probably. :p There's a few of us it doesn't quite 'represent,' but really, only a few. ;)

Precious, precious few.

It isn't inaccurate to say that for the bulk of those who have aged on NSG, few have really matured.

"You Suffer" - Napalm Death.

I would have gone for "The continuing war against stupidity".

Based upon the number of kids and people with their heads in the clouds,

The Internationale

Totally agree but I think it should be Billy Bragg's version;
Stand up, all victims of oppression
For the tyrants fear your might
Dont cling so hard to your possessions
For you have nothing, if you have no rights
Let racist ignorance be ended
For respect makes the empires fall
Freedom is merely privilege extended
Unless enjoyed by one and all

Chorus:
So come brothers and sisters
For the struggle carries on
The internationale
Unites the world in song
So comrades come rally
For this is the time and place
The international ideal
Unites the human race

Let no one build walls to divide us
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
Well live together or well die alone
In our world poisoned by exploitation
Those who have taken, now they must give
And end the vanity of nations
Weve but one earth on which to live

And so begins the final drama
In the streets and in the fields
We stand unbowed before their armour
We defy their guns and shields
When we fight, provoked by their aggression
Let us be inspired by like and love
For though they offer us concessions
Change will not come from above

Hotel California - You can check out, but you can never leave.

On the Internet highway, cool wind in the air,
Fingers on the keyboard, blank, unthinking stare
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a mistaken boast
My head grew heavy and my mind grew dim
I had to write down a post...

It all goes downhill from there :)

How about I predict a riot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spYcp0ZB4nM)?

Birth Defect by Helmet is my choice:


All the good that you discover
In people that you hate
Draw them close and pencil thin
Then they're easy to erase

You've got it down just feed them lies
And watch them starve to death
Keep them crowded and short of air
Then you can take their last breath

I'd rather be insulted by you
Than someone I respect
If I don't share the same view
It's just my birth defect
All the good that never comes
From always getting your way

Like the title says. Post what you think the national anthem of nationstates would be if it were a country. Preferably with a link so we can listen to what you picked.

No idea. I don't even know the national anthem of the country I grew up in, let alone this one... who does?

Losing my Religion

"99 Luftballoons" Obviously. Just the whole idea of it.

OK. Frankly, your post wasn't nearly offensive enough- despite the link to a God-bothering web site. Allow me...

[To the tune of the Red Flag/ Tannenbaum]

Nation States is mostly played,
By geeky teens, who can't get laid.
They sit and stare at naughty bits,
While churchy types have several fits.
See how their skin's turned pale and grey,
They never see the light of day.
Though dandruff flakes and nickers itch,
She just won't move- the stupid b**tch.

Damn, I was going to say Hotel California. How about American Idiot?

You stole that directly out of my signature.

Damn, I was going to say Hotel California.
I've been saying that for years!

For all the sex freaks on NSG, No Bone Movies by Ozzy Osbourne.

You could rotate through Tom Lehrer's songs, because most of them are topics on NS General.

I've been saying that for years!

Hey, IIRC I was part of the thread that started that, so I'm allowed to as well. :p

...

Note that I didn't actually claim that all or even most Americans are idiots. This forum has its fair share of American idiots and people who bash America incessantly- it works both ways.

You misunderstand. I think the song and the band are revolting.

Ah, all right- I don't necessarily disagree. All the more appropriate for NSG (at times), then. :p

Bangos ... banjo/bongo hybrids?

Very, very true.

Ahhhhh, the right wingers (whiners?) favourite song:

It's just a jump to the LEFT!!

:D

Let me tell you the answer:


*Sings to the tune of "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera:



Nighttime falls, and I am waiting,
while the flamers keep debating.

Suddenly, all sense is
gone and a fight commences.

Not slowly or gently do trolls post here
Grasp that topic and hijack it

Turn your face away
for it will soon be day
Turn your thoughts away
from the monitor's unfeeling light

Don't listen to the bitching of the night.

It is far worse than you imagined
in your darkest dreams
Purge all logic from your head
give up the life you knew before
Close your eyes,
and check your brain at the door.

And you'll live as you never lived before.

Softly, deftly, words shall surround you
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you
Screaming in your mind,
let your fantasies unwind

Try to resist but you cannot fight
The darkness of the btching of the night.

Let your mind start a journey
through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
This place will steal your soul, it won't let you be.

Only then can you belong to me.

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Flame me, troll me, savor each sensation

Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the bitching of the night.

The mods alone can make my song take flight

And stop the bitching of the night.

Alternatively:

Think of me, think of me typing
In the pale moonlight
Imagine me, rezzing up nations
Halfway through the night

I'd rather be a helpful mod you see
And set a poster gently right
But if you charge, flames a-blazing
You'll see this Kat can bite!

Think of all the spam and pr0n I've seen,
in all my time of helping keep Gen'ral clean!

Think of me, sending out warnings late into the night
Imagine me, seeking out multies, and stopping forum fights
When you've gone to bed, before you sleep,
Just have a kindish thought for me
Maybe tonight it's quiet... and I sleep before three!

Like the title says. Post what you think the national anthem of nationstates would be if it were a country. Preferably with a link so we can listen to what you picked.

We are the world

"You Suffer" - Napalm Death.

Lol, this.

Let me tell you the answer:

Alternatively:

I'd forgotten all about that! :D

Anyway, people mentioning Tom Lehrer made me think of this one...

My Home Town
Next we have the "Dear Hearts And Gentle People"'s school of songwriting, in which the singer tells you that, no matter how much sin and vice and crime go on where he comes from, it's still the best place in the world because it's home, you know. Sort of gets you.
This example is called "My Home Town".

I really have a yen
To go back once again,
Back to the place where no one wears a frown,
To see once more those super-special just plain folks
In my home town.

No fellow could ignore
The little girl next door,
She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown.
Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free
In my home town.

I remember Dan, the druggist on the corner, he
Was never mean or ornery,
He was swell.
He killed his mother-in-law and ground her up real well,
And sprinkled just a bit
Over each banana split.

The guy that taught us math,
Who never took a bath,
Acquired a certain measure of renown,
And after school he sold the most amazing pictures
In my home town.

That fellow was no fool
Who taught our Sunday School,
And neither was our kindly Parson Brown --
(We're recording tonight, so I'll have to leave this line out.)
In my home town.

I remember Sam, he was the village idiot,
And though it seems a pity, it
Was so.
He loved to burn down houses just to watch the glow,
And nothing could be done,
Because he was the mayor's son.

The guy that took a knife
And monogrammed his wife,
Then dropped her in the pond and watched her drown.
Oh, yes indeed, the people there are just plain folks
In my home town.

Sorry, couldn't find a recording of it.

Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", of course.

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

I'd forgotten all about that! :D

We hadn't. NSG never forgets!

Ok, we forget stuff... But not good fun!

...ah, I forgot, what were we talking about?

My vote?
