Chester40 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Probably been done before...but any favourites? God Save The Queen is a total dirge, wouldn't get me up for anything. The Italian national anthem, now that's a ditty that would stir the blood!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Germany, Russia, France are all good as these things go. GSTQ, Flower of Scotland, most really, are pretty awful. I think there should be scope to change them - especially for sports events. Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olton Ram Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The Welsh national anthem can be pretty stirring, especially when it's being sung by a full stadium in Cardiff. EranioIsGod, SKRam and Anag Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a night at the Opera http://www.nationalanthems.info/uy.htm. I was in Uruguay once on business and whilst strolling down la rambla in Montevideo we ran into an election rally. The candidate took the stage, did a brief speech in which he set out his platform (cambiomesnes, or change) and then everyone stood to attention while the anthem was played. It went on longer than the speech! I'd never been so nonplussed. Until 3 days later when as an evening night out I was treated to the history of Argentina told through the medium of tango..... ?

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Flower of Scotland, love it. If you were a martian landed on eart, heard it, watch the passionate crowd singing it, you could think, this team are about to rule the world. And then reality sets in.

TigerTedd Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 It annoys me that England don’t have our own national anthem. Scotland and Wales have their own, and I don’t begrudge them that, but GSTQ is the British national anthem, so we don’t have our own. I could also imagine Scots not wanting to sing along to it when representing Britain, as it is seen as the English national anthem (not to mention that one of the versus talks about keeping the Scots in their box). So I think we could do with either a British anthem that the whole of Britain can get behind, or an English anthem that is all ours. it’s suggested time and time again, but Rule Britannia, Land of Hope and Glory, or Jerusalem would all get my blood pumping a lot more than god save the queen.

While we hold off from adopting 'I vow to thee my Country' it's the best national anthem. Sorry, it just is. Like we have the best flag.

They use 'Jerusalem' as the English national anthem at the Commonwealth Games. They used to use 'Land of Hope and Glory' but changed it after a public vote in 2010. I'd prefer 'Land of Hope and Glory' to GSTQ as the UK national anthem TigerTedd, RadioactiveWaste and TimRam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I have to say I really like ours, It always gets the hairs on the back of my neck but I wouldn’t be against changing It to something like land of hope and glory. but the best ones are without doubt France, Italy and Wales, actually, when Italy play wales in a week the anthems will be better than the game.!
