I have to know it or I get my arse kicked by my sergeant-major! We have to sing it every year at Rememberance day parades.
I'm only required to know the first verse (as I'm sure about 50% of the population doesn't realize there are more than one), so yes*

I only know the first verse, like every good Australian should.
My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
Yes, both in Finnish and Swedish. I think.
Edit: Well, at least the first verse

I need around tree fiddy.
Nope, I think no one knows it here
the anthem no one knows wrote:
1. Strophe
Trittst im Morgenrot daher,
Seh’ ich dich im Strahlenmeer,
Dich, du Hocherhabener, Herrlicher!
Wenn der Alpenfirn sich rötet,
Betet, freie Schweizer, betet!
Eure fromme Seele ahnt
Eure fromme Seele ahnt
Gott im hehren Vaterland,
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland.
2. Strophe
Kommst im Abendglühn daher,
Find’ ich dich im Sternenheer,
Dich, du Menschenfreundlicher, Liebender!
In des Himmels lichten Räumen
Kann ich froh und selig träumen!
Denn die fromme Seele ahnt
Denn die fromme Seele ahnt
Gott im hehren Vaterland,
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland.
3. Strophe
Ziehst im Nebelflor daher,
Such’ ich dich im Wolkenmeer,
Dich, du Unergründlicher, Ewiger!
Aus dem grauen Luftgebilde
Tritt die Sonne klar und milde,
Und die fromme Seele ahnt
Und die fromme Seele ahnt
Gott im hehren Vaterland,
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland.
4. Strophe
Fährst im wilden Sturm daher,
Bist du selbst uns Hort und Wehr,
Du, allmächtig Waltender, Rettender!
In Gewitternacht und Grauen
Lasst uns kindlich ihm vertrauen!
Ja, die fromme Seele ahnt,
Ja, die fromme Seele ahnt,
Gott im hehren Vaterland,
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
No
Yes, of course.
Yes, we learn it in elementary school
I don't know mine. I have no reason to know it.
No.
Not at all.
I know it in four part harmony.

the short version:
Sure, though I'm a bit rusty on the other verses besides the first.
Edit:
Hey! Ours is made from a german drinking song aswell! (as far as I remember) The drums were composed by a drunk drummer for added effect.

Yes, it is the Star Spangled Banner - set to an old drinking song I think.
I can't remember all the words though

Yessiree, I is good, American student. D:
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!
O lord God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their knavish tricks,
Confuse their politics,
On you our hopes we fix,
God save the Queen!
Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world ov'er
From every latent foe,
From the assasins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign!
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!

Besides, your national anthem is now one of those songs that they make elementary school kids sing. Only thing is, it's now known as "My Country, 'Tis of Thee".
Negtive on the paste, I wrote it.cowami wrote:
