Thread: What is your favorite national anthem?

    Default What is your favorite national anthem?

    Like the title say, what is your favorite national anthem?

    Personally I don't really like the Canadian one. It's a bit too joyful for my taste.

    My favorite is the Turkish national anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEbJS...eature=related it's pretty catchy

    I'd say my close second is the Israel one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jjVB...eature=related

    Lets just say I'd like the Canadian and American anthems more if they weren't tainted by a certain invisible man in the sky.

    That gloriously vibrant melody is the cherished theme song of the beloved nation of Tennessee. God bless Rocky Top!

    Not sure a galactic federation counts as a nation.

    You need to pick something more country-like, like Tennesee!



    Rest In Peace, Old Friend.

    I don't think it is biased in any way. The topic calls for opinions and the Mexican anthem is one of the best!

    I do love my anthem, because it actually states the principles of the constitution and those that should be part of every Mexican (some have deserted our anthem and just call themselves Mexicans on the good times, sadly)

    It speaks of death as a moment someone should move through with pride. Furthermore, it speaks about how a Mexican should give their lifes before their land. It makes alegories to the sound of war. Finally, it honors the death soldiers.

    My second one would be the Turkish and my third the French (La Marseillaise). The French Anthem was adopted at the end of the French Revolution, when a republic was finally reached. It speaks of the french revolution, the end of the years of the "Tirany and Terror" and the further freedom. War was a powerful theme on the song.

    and THATs what i dont like about the mexican anthem.

    you will probably call me "malinchista" but im not ok with the idea of people killing and dying for "land" or a political ideology or a flag or because the other country smells funny... i dont know.

    funny thought, im ok with the idea of people dying-killing protecting their love ones/familys, etc...
