Your favourite national anthem
What's yours?
If you want to hear a great one, go to YouTube and type in 'Russian Rock Anthem" as a search query. Enough said.

Well, gotta go with Canada's... I'm ticked off at Margaret Atwood for lobbying to change the lyrics to something more politically correct for women, though. So not necessary, in my opinion.

Bloody stupid question really, virtually everyone is going to vote for their own....even if it's not that good, like ours.
Saying that, some anthems sound really good even though I can't understand what's being sung. I like the Italian one, it's sung with great gusto and it's a really catchy tune.

I offer this video in reply to the "Russian Rock" video. Perhaps you will note a stark contrast in the lack of military hardware in the second video which is replaced simply by high school kids.

Might as well turn up the sound and enjoy it, after all it's the most beautiful song on the planet. As you say ..."Enough said".
