BF2S Forums Best/coolest national anthem

I'm dead proud of the Welsh National Anthem, when sung in a packed Millenium Stadium or the Old Arms Park it would make grown men cry.  The hairs stand up and stick out of the back of your neck. My next fav and very close behind is Flower of Scotland, again my hairs will stand on edge.  If I'm at home and either come on the TV, the TV gets turned up loud.

One anthem which makes me turn over when played on TV is God Save the Queen.

"You can stick ya royal family up ya ass, you can stick ya royal family up ya ass, you can stick ya royal family, stick ya royal family, you can stick your royal family up ya ass".

australian one is the best, worst is taiwans...

I like the Canadian national anthem because Ralph Wiggum sang it once.
The New Zealand one sucks. 'God Defend New Zealand' - yeah fucken right. Maori version gives it a bit of pep, but it's still pretty crap, and anyone who sings it sounds like a retard. "Eh HI o RA AA TOO AAAHH! oh NGA iWI Ma-a TOU-u Raa!"
Crap, crap and crap.

Edit: Our flag sucks too.

KA MATAY KA MATAY
KA ORA KA ORA

oh god I need to find a picture of us doing that for rugby...
none of us are new zealanders but nothing beats the haka

ò`Canada preformed by 100 of those riding police men in red, singing as they charge down the mountain side.

Ohh wait, here's the best in the world.

The old anthem....

I have seriously not laughed that hard in a long time.

+1 for you good sir!

The Irish national anthem is funny because it clearly motivates people to go and kill English people, Not that I have anything against English people I just find it funny that we teach the song to kids in primary school!

Cheers!

PS: WARNING: SONG MAY NOT HAVE SAME AFFECT ON EVERY ONE! But it did in my school!

PPS: Didn't Putin not revert Russia's national anthem back to the Soviet one, he definitely changed it.

Thou ancient, thou freeborn, thou mountainous North,
In beauty and peace our hearts beguiling,
I greet thee, thou loveliest land on the earth,
Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.
Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.

Thy throne rests on mem’ries from great days of yore,
When worldwide renown was valour’s guerdon.
I know to thy name thou art true as before.
Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden,
Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden.

SWEDEN!!
