I finally found a Tim Minchin video without a single swear word, so I can feel safe posting it here:

Two in a row!

Polish + Lithuanian anthem. (Sung in Old-Belarussian, Polish versions are too church choir for my taste)


Link to video.

First Belarussian national anthem. From the time when people still remembered that Belarussians are Lithuanians and from before Samogitians (Modern day Lithuanians) took the name.
 
Like. But I need the English translation of the lyrics.


Soviet Union anthem remains my very bestest favouritist. Of all time.

This is mostly nonsense.

But comes with this comment:
An insight of the Northmans invasion of Anglo Saxon England. *EDIT YES WE KNOW THE FILM IS POLISH AND ABOUT SLAVS ALSO WE KNOW THE VIKINGS DID NOT USE HORSES IN COMBAT* we used this footage because it is unusual from most other footage[.] Slav's and Saxons are Germanic tribes very similar in both culture and war.
 
I did find a Polish version of the Bogurodzica that doesn't sound like a church choir. It's sung by a Belarussian Folk-band though and there is a heavy accent but it's better than nothing. :)

For the lyrics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogurodzica

(If you meant the First Belarussian National Anthem, they are in the youtube video.)

edit, I translated First Belarussian National Anthem into Lacinka for you if that is at all useful:

Tolykі ў sertsay trayvozhnaym pachuyu
Za kraіnu radzіmuyu zhah, -
Uspomnyu Vostruyu Bramu svyatuyu
І vayakaў na groznayh kanyah.

U belay pene pranosyatstsa konі, -
Rvutstsa, mknutstsa і tsyazhka hraypyatsy...
Staradaўnyay Lіtoўskay Pagonі
Ne razbіtsy, ne spaynіtsy, ne straymatsy.

U byazmernuyu daly vay lyatsіtse,
A za vamі, prad vamі - gaday.
Vay za kіm u pagonyu spyashaytse?
Dze shlyahі vashay ydutsy і kuday?

Mo yanay, Belarusy, panyaslіsya
Za tvaіmі dzyatsymі ўzdagon,
Shto zabaylі tsyabe, adraklіsya,

Ab radzіmay starontsay balіtsy...

Ne razbіtsy, ne spaynіtsy, ne straymatsy.

(Xhosa Language)
Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,

(Zulu)
Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela
Thina lusapho lwayo.

(Sesotho)
Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
Setjhaba sa, South Afrika — South Afrika.

(Afrikaans)
Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,

(English translations and final verse in English)

Lord bless Africa
Let its (Africa's) horn be raised

Listen also to our prayers
Lord bless us
We are the family of it (Africa)

Lord bless our nation
Stop wars and sufferings
Save it, save it, our nation
The nation of South Africa — South Africa.

From the blue of our heavens,
From the depths of our seas,
Over our everlasting mountains,
Where the crags give answer,

Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom
In South Africa our land.

If this ^ is a realistic representation of Republicans (and I wonder if it is), I fear for the US.
 
Bear in mind this is an Aaron Sorkin show. He's the writer. Now I watch and thoroughly enjoy the show, but you have to watch it through the lense of "Oh, it's Sorkin, just enjoy the acting."

That said, I do have issues with the tea party, but they are nothing like the taliban.
 
That is the way metaphors work. For instance, when someone says "the cat is out of the bag" it rarely means that a feline escaped captivity from a sack.
