with the world cup being on, I've heard a lot of anthems and
I gotta say, theey all sound fairly similar and generally
dull, but for some reason i love these two anthems >

Italy..> Happy, triumphant
Russia..> This is my favourite, really stirs the emotions
like a half-litre of Vodka

The British anthem sounds a bit funereal for my liking and
the lyrics are a bit poncy. Anyone else got any views ?

yeah, I love this too. a few years ago I played this into my
phone cos I thought no one else would have it but I was in a
shop and it rang on someone else phone

...though I don't use themed ring tones now

genes?

Anthems are bollocks. They dont represent the public at all.
How the hell can you generalise a nation of people with one
song?
SHITE. utter SHITE!

yeah weakling child , they're all nonsense but I'm talking
about the music itself rather than the concept of
nationhood. But the Russian one almost makes me want to BE
Russian despite the 7 million reasons why being Russian
would be a potentially fatal decision , its a great tune.

I don't like the Canadian anthem... I do like the US
national anthem though... it's very inspiring I think just
the way it sounds and all...

I just like the melody, the music... I don't really pay much
attention to words in anthems like these, but the music for
your national anthem is very nice... O Canada is boring
imo...
