National anthems. 20:07 - Jun 11 with 8164 viewsSnipper

Just having a conversation with my sister about national anthems after listening to the Turkish and Italian anthems. We both agreed that England shouldn’t have God save the Queen, as it’s the British anthem. When we play Scotland next Friday, we’ll have the British anthem and The flower of Scotland.

We should have Land of hope and Glory. I remember that was England’s anthem at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. It was very rousing when the whole stadium joined in.

Also I was yesterday years old when I discovered the national anthem of the Netherlands has the lyric"I have always been loyal to the King of Spain"

The Czech Republic's is yer typical eastern European specimen - orchestral, bombastic, slow bit, fade out and with the players uncertainly mumbling along.

Flower of Scotland now. Oh yes.

I caught myself whistling the Octonauts theme tune.

Whilst I appreciate this is aimed at GSTQ for England Billy Connolly perfectly summed up why it needs to be changed. The Archers theme tune gets my vote 😀

A lot of people seem to like Ireland's call, but to me its one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Can't stand it.

Anthems I like include Italy, France, Brazil (in fact a few South American countries), New Zealand, South Africa, Wales, Scotland and the US despite their huge egos have a good anthem. Awful ones include my country of abode Australia, and God Save the Queen.

Have a look at this, these blokes can actually sing in tune:

Dear ‘Hayzus’, I have just watched the Argentinians sing their National Anthem!!!! Not helped that there isn’t a decent baritone among them.

Actually, they’re playing Paraguay, might have a quick bet, they don’t have the greatest record against the Para’s.

Oooch, ten mins in and it’s like watching a racehorse competing against the nag pulling a milk float! Interesting tactics from the Argies, barring the back line, everyone seems to be 5’5”.
