If you could create a national anthem for your country what would it be?

[Perfection]

All I hear is the Sound of Silence.

Isn't it wonderful!

 

[JonnyB]

Isn't it wonderful!

Yes! I understand now, Best anthem ever!

 

[ComradeDavo]

Metallica's Master Of Puppets would do nicely.

 

[Grisu]

Probably something along the lines of how we will drench our fields with the blood of our enemies, provided they're coming to slaughter our kids and wives.

you mean something like "Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons !" ? You do realize that he asked for a new anthem

 

[IglooDame]

I'd like it to be Shades of Grey, by Billy Joel:

Some things were perfectly clear, seen with the vision of youth
No doubts and nothing to fear, I claimed the corner on truth
These days it's harder to say I know what I'm fighting for
My faith is falling away
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Once there were trenches and walls and one point of every view
Fight 'til the other man falls
Kill him before he kills you
These days the edges are blurred, I'm old and tired of war
I hear the other man's words
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey are all that I find
When I come to the enemy line
Black and white was so easy for me
But shades of grey are the colors I see

Now with the wisdom of years I try to reason things out
And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts
Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for
I won't be righteous again
I'm not that sure anymore

Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Ain't no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colors I see

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Tough one...Hmmm...Im kind of partial to the Benny Hill theme music, I guess

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

Ours is great as it is.

"In-Ger-Lund, In-Ger-Lund, In-Ger-Lund
In-Ger-Lund, In-Ger-Lund, In-Ger-Luuuuund
In-Ger-Lund, In-Ger-Lund, In-Ger-Lund
In-Ger-Lund, In-Ger-Luuuuuud"

Celts can get their own bloody anthem.

 

[Brighteye]

I'd write something about building the new jerusalem in the green, green grass of home. And meanwhile filling the minutes with 60 seconds of distance run, with a chorus about how our ancient land will never shelter despot or slave.

Not that I'd crib from other writers' ideas. Never.

A friend of mine was very passionate about wanting England to establish a National Anthem in a similar vien. He wasn't remotely religious, he just liked the tune.

The Imperial March - John Williams

 

[Swedishguy]

Swedishguy's the best, Swedishguy's the best, swede swede swede swede, Swedishguy's the best

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, he is the best no one else

Swedishguy is Knubb!

Well of course he did! It's really quite good. And the idea of building a spritual haven doesn't have to be a Christian one; it's quite appealing to anyone who likes a bit of peace and harmony.

 

[Irish Caesar]

We Didn't Start The Fire?



But seriously, I've got no complaints about To Anacreon In Heaven.

Golden Brown and Parklife played over one-another with the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody. I'd like to see the football fans manage that one...

 

[Rossiya]

What about this for England?

Simply the Best - Tina Turner & The England Football Team

Is this the park life?
Is this just golden brown?
Look up to the skies and seeeee

I'd be amused with the result, to be sure.
