national anthem

[disorganizer]

here is a suggestion for out national anthem derived form a discussion here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29566

which did not produce more output for some days...

proposal:

Blitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go
Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let's go
Shoot'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all reved up and ready to go
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let's go Shoot'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all reved up and ready to go
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop
They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The Blitzkrieg Bop
Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go
Hey ho, let's go Hey ho, let's go


The options will be "Yes", "No" and "Abstain". The poll will be open for 48 hours or until quorum reached, whichever comes first.

IT WILL BE BINDING!

 

[disorganizer]

Yes, because i like it!

 

[Danke]

Well, "I want to be sedated" seems more appropriate. But what the heck.

 

[Major Guevara]

I also voted yes BUT only because it is a good song. I have no idea what the song is about and when you come to think about it if you take out the word "Blitzkrieg" there is nothing to suggest that the song has anything to do whit Germany or the germans......but what the hell

 

[disorganizer]

Well, its a good song anyways... ;-)

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

NO!!!
I started that thread to get "Springtime fo Hitler" as the anthem as a JOKE.
Besides, you yell at me for my polls, my turn.
there has only been one sugested song. where are the other sugestions?

 

[Chieftess]

I abstain.

 

[Myartar]

No, sir. I just don't like it. Nothing more to it.

 

[FunnyInTheDark]

I voted to abstain because....it is a catchy song...but...it's just not appropriate for anthem...though I was debating how much it's the only thing I can think of AS the anthem now because of reading this...grrrr..now I've run out of ideas....

 

[Cyc]

So much for secret ballots, huh.

 

[CultureFreak18]

Well, I don't really like the 'anthem.' It sounds something a German Barney would sing. But are there any other candidates? If there are, the should be posted here or in another poll. (I abstain)

 

[Almightyjosh]

A national anthem should be stirring and uplifting, a reflection of the values and greatness of a civilisation. This is boppy and stupid. It would encourage disrespect from our allies and cause us shame.
NO!

 

[CultureFreak18]

Hear, hear Almightyjosh! Those are very good points. We need to revive a classic song. How about Dixie...

 

[FunnyInTheDark]

Please dear god tell me I did not just see the word Dixie on a Civ3 forum....It can be your family moto/anthem...but...I'll be casting my vote for no if that every pops up in a poll. Besides, how would Dixie represent Fanatika? (Have we all even decided on exactly what adjectives to use for our name????)

 

[CultureFreak18]

It was just a suggestion...jeez. Simmer down. How does the Blitzkrieg Bop represent Fanatika? Aren't we suppost to create our own style and culture in the Democracy Game?

 

[FunnyInTheDark]

I'd rather listen to Techno for 12 hours than have Dixie as the anthem...Yes yes, you were just making a suggestion...etc. etc. I just, HATE Dixie d)

I feel War Pigs by Black Sabbath may be a bit more in the lines of what we want

Come on who doesn;t like this song?

Here is a sample from the song:
Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning
as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Um....do we really want to be known as the Shamastic Tribes of Fanatika? Then we'd all look like this poor S.O.B. -----> :mutant:

HEAD SHRINKING IS COOL!
