Default National Anthems - 09-20-2003, 08:36 PM

Why are national anthems so serious?

Why does no one have a national anthem like the ice cream man song?

Each country should choose a rock song and make that their anthem. Maybe some some Stones or Hendrix.

1. Showing respect and alligiance for your country is serious.
2. What kind of pussy country would have the ice cream man song as their national anthem? ( I assume your refering to "pop-goes -the weasel") No one could take a world leader or an olympic athelete seriously.
3. While the Stones and Hendrix are cool, I don't think their songs fit the bill for a national anthem. Besides, wouldn't you want the author of your national anthem to be from your own country?

America's national anthem was made by a man who was alive and there during the Revolutionary War. Why the fuck would we just scrap that and take something that has no meaning as to how our country came to be?

Some national theme songs suck balls, they sound cheesy or something. We need some really "proud" songs like the ones in soundtracks made by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt.

It was the War of 1812...and a guy witnessing an American fort being destroyed wrote it.

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

mwah:
