Russia for me.

Thumbs up for USSR.

On a schooltrip to Berlin, I had some nice battery-charged speakers and an iPod with me. Max sound and then this - good times.

When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought 'CCCP' and it started playing in my head.

"Let them shing." - Capt. Ramius

 

[Nonk]

Northern Irelands (when I get it changed!)

Try this link for 'Killaloe' ( it starts at 1:23)



Best lyrics of any song, ever.


YO!

My own, of course. USA USA USA

Scotland the Brave is a good one too. I don't know that many... I can sing my own, O Canada, Amhrán na bhFiann, Scotland the Brave, la Marseillaise...

Yeah definitely Soviet, although when I used to play world games, I was fond of Rule Brittania.

"Ja, vi elsker" is a hard song to sing for a national anthem, but I like it. My favorite is "La Marseillaise" though.

FYI, "Rule Britannia" is not a national anthem, but it would be a better one than "My Country 'tis of Thee" err.. "God Save the Queen".

Other than the Star Spangled Banner, the Macedonian national anthem:

Im gonna have to go with what Captain McAllister (Sea Captain from the Simpsons) recommends. "Not a hymn to war like our national anthem, but a sweet soothing hymn like the national anthem of Canada"

 

[Thracozaag]

Hard to beat the Marseillaise. koji

Hatikva gives me goosebumps

I like the anthem of the P.R.C.:



Starts at about 9 minutes. This was the 50th anniversary of the P.R.C.'s founding parade.

I gotta go with the good ol USA. Nobody else's anthem (to the best of my knowledge) glorifies the fact that they need exploding bombs and rockets to reassure them that their country still exists.

The Marseillaise glorifies the use of violence and blood-spilling. That was before bombs and rockets, of course
