Britain's new national anthem should be....

[Glow worm]

Don't get me wrong, I'm as patriotic as the next man (so not enthusiastically to be honest), but God Save the Queen's a bit, well, flat and uninspiring. And we share the tune with erm, Lichtenstein. So maybe it's time we got ourselves a new national anthem. One that reflects Britain's worldwide status in the 21st century. I think this track's about right (although we'd need some words). i.e. We know we are a bit crap now, but we like a laugh i.e.

So how about this ....

No, Britain shouldn't be the knacker's yard, it should have a bit of "we can help each other-ness" and a wee bit of slap bass too. I give you the Minder theme tune

Whatever happened to that petition to change it to Gold by Spandau Ballet that thousands of people signed a few years back?

It has to be this: Jerusalem - here's why.

 

[TheDoctor]

'Pretty Vacant' by the Sex Pistols?

I reckon the Austrian anthem should be 'Vienna'

 

[blazed]

Im going to put some time aside and write a new national anthem.

 

[Aperitif]

Dark satanic mills an' all that - that's the other bits aint it Mort?

'I vow to thee my country' is nice too - maybe that would be a bit more of a universal choice.

What 'we' all need is some Italian style to encourage participation and really lift the spirits. (and beers)

How about 'I Couldn't Care Less' by Don Gibson.
Would kind of sum up the general attitude of the masses...

That's great! He's dead right about the athletes. Here's another suggestion that would definately speed them up a bit.
