Omen II 1,235 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 One of my brothers is a big fan of national anthems and even knows the words to some really obscure ones. When I go to England games with him I can often hear him mumbling the lyrics of the away team's anthem under his breath while everyone else is booing or shouting "F**k off, you c**ts!" towards the opposition fans.Thanks to him I have come to know the magnificence of Mauritania's national anthem.

filmmusic 1,822 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't think I have heard many national anthems, but Hatikva (Israel's anthem) which is in minor is closest to my character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The German national anthem is my favorite, Haydn's Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser. It's the alma mater of my undergraduate school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,472 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I would like that you can choose the one from Quebec, but we're not a Country yet, so we don't have a national anthem...So I'll go for Krakozhia too, I'll never choose the Canada one.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm a bit biased being half-Norwegian, but Ja, vi elsker dette landet is pretty moving. The best performance I remember hearing is from the closing ceremony of the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics. Hatikvah's another great one, plus La Marseillais is all kinds of awesome. Can't listen to that without thinking of THE DAY OF THE JACKAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
