The French and the Italians are smashing their national anthem game, imo. Way better than ours and the Americans.

Agreed. The old USSR one was a bit of a belter too, but in a different way.

This must now be a 'best national anthem' thread.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

I like the Russian one best. Listen to that and ones ready to get the T34s rolling.

Our anthem has always been a dirge. With the Italian one I like the way you think it’s finished then it starts up again. The German one is good too.

is a 16th-century poem in which William of Orange (ancestor of the one who became William III of England), leader of the revolt against the Spanish, struggles with his loyalty. It is an acrostic poem: the first letter of each stanza spells “Willem van Nassov”, an old variant of Nassau, one of his other titles.


The Spanish national anthem has no words, and footy commentators regularly chide the Spanish team and its fans for not singing.

Talking of the German anthem, the current one is good, but it's not a patch on the old East German one:



And then there's Ireland's Call...

3.3 sheep each though so it's not all bad. Just most of it is bad.

In spite of the nervous sheep, the Welsh anthem is fantastic, particularly when belted out by a full, drunk crowd. The Dutch one is a bit solemn but I like it. The Scottish anti English one is an awful dirge, but still better than the national anthem.

England needs its own one. Somebody (might have been Billy Connelly or Jasper Carrott) suggested something to the theme tune to the Archers. I’d go with that. Three Lions maybe? I don’t know. Something cheerful.
