God Save the Queen
Although I do like Land of Hope and Glory.

Oh no...not God Save the Queen....
If any country adopted "Final Countdown" as their national anthem, I'd switch allegiance in a heartbeat.
Most are poor, God Save the Queen is one of the worst. You'd think the least they can do with our national anthem, even if you can't get a nice piece of music, would be to make it at least vaguely to do with Britain. But I digress.
The French have a notable exception.
I was hopeful for the Spanish national anthem when I found it had no words (thus bypassing the standard issue theocratic/royalty-loving/warmongering direness), but later found it's quite a dull tune.
The German one is pretty good.

Yeah I know that everyone is taught the meaning of the words, but you shouldn’t have to open a dictionary to understand your own national anthem IMO.Quote:

The Liechtenstein one is great. It's played the tune of God Save the Queen but with different words.
The South African one is class.
The old Soviet/current Russian one is quite good imo.
And of course I'll push God defend New Zealand.

National anthem of Japan - YouTube
So simple, yet beautiful.
Translation of lyrics:
"May your reign last for a thousand, eight thousand generations. Until the pebbles grow into boulders, lush with moss."
I like the tune for the French Anthem, but the lyrics are really bad.
I like the Kiwi one tbh.
Shame they're all ****s.
they all suck balls can we just get rid of them already
