As National Anthems Go

[Bobbisox1]

I like the French one, it’s got oomph!

It is quite a bloodthirsty anthem about spilling lots of blood etc. I only know ‘Marchon, marchon!’

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, that’ll be right Carole

[andy-hughes]

I always thought Billy Connolly had a good idea when he suggested the theme from The Archers - get everyone moving quickly as they step off the boat!

[Bobbisox1]

I remember that Andy, what a great idea haha

"It is quite a bloodthirsty anthem about spilling lots of blood etc"

It is indeed! Mireille channelling her inner Piaf, despite her strong Provençal accent.

I like the German one.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes Tilly, that’s quite a bouncy one too

"I like the German one."

You can't go wrong with a bit of Haydn.

[Sqad]

I find the Russian one stirring.

Is there anything that some on this site like about this country? every day some thinly veiled anti British BS. The UK is not a prison you are allowed to go and live in utopia.

[bobbinwales]

What on earth is anti british about liking some tunes of other anthems?

[elliemay1]

I adore the French one, we learnt it at school, still remember it word for word, reminds me of the good old days

[Mamyalynne]

Are you alright Tora?

"What on earth is anti-British about liking some tunes of other anthems?"

You're wasting your time, Bob...

//The UK is not a prison you are allowed to go and live in utopia.//

and tens of thousands have done....hundreds of thousands

[Bobbisox1]

Eh???
I happen to like the tunes of those countries, what’s anti British about that!!!

[gulliver1]

I can't stand the English one, its all about her.
Should change it to Land of Hope , now that Brexit is complete.

[Hopkirk]

I'm very patriotic, but we've got a rubbish anthem.
It sounds like a nursery rhyme.

[Mamyalynne]

Italy for me, quite dramatic.
