Forgot this: "Aux armes etc..." is a song by Serge Gainsbourg, THE coolest singing Frog that ever was, probably on youtube

My teen mini's came home last week talking about their Pep rally. I asked them what their school anthem was. They looked at me like I asked if their school was on Mars. I then sang a bit of my H.S anthem and U of Az . They still didn't understand. I then used the Star Spangled Banner as an example. I guess school anthems have fallen our of fashion. Thank the higher powers for major sporting events...otherwise our youth would be clueless.

What a great post! Informed, entertaining, well-written, entirely inappropriate for a sex-site blog... perfect! Oddly enough, your commentary here did NOT have me hearing music in my head, but rather snippets from Eddie Izzard's "Do you have a flag?" bit. Well done! Stop in, read, and offer comments at my "swinging as seen in the media" blog, "Confessions of a Lifestyle Man" humorlife, which is also the home of the monthly virtual symposium.

well the French national anthem was played at several NHL hockey games tonight... in Philadelphia and Boston I believe there are french (France not Quebec) players on the teams.... if national anthems inspire pride in freedoms that have been fought for and won, I think that is a good thing.

Hey Keith! Great post idea!!! Will check those anthems I don't know (many of those you listed) and just wanted to let you know "La Marseillaise" is also, by far, my favorite  It's exactly how you described it: makes you want to stand up, grab a pitchfork, and go open up some Royal and spread their guts out, because it must have been hard to wait and drag each one of the filthy fat bloodsucker all the way to the guillotine hahaha!!!  Ahem...sorry. got a bit carried away there  Lastly, look for "Aux armes etc..." by Serge Gainsbourg, you'll see....oh, and lokk for the lyrics, most of all! Muah!!!

Well well. A feisty Canadian. Hey! I said it was okay, didn't I? Besides the USA one, Oh Canada is the anthem I get to hear the most. And Canadians love to rub it in our noses. A friendly rivalry, fortunately. If they can't be Americans, the next best thing for folks to be is Canadian. Don't you agree?  Thanks for congrats. blog on!

IT ISN'T WALTZING MATILDA! Oh Keith, I do believe you are wrong, go check your facts. I love that one, it was the best one you've listed. You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. It's not precisely correct though, everyone knows a watched billy never boils. I'll be humming that one now. hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, Waltzing Matilda, you'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.  I'm humming along with ya. It's a catchy tune...

Hadn't seen the Izzard routine previously, but I loved it.  Thanks, humorlife!

This post was timely, it seems. Unfortunate. Today my heart is heavy.  blog on!

Yeah, England uses "God Save the Queen," but it doesn't use the really good version... "God save the Queen/'Cause tourists are money/And our figurehead/Is not what she seems..."

"Canada's is ok. I have to hear it a lot as I watch sporting events from that country. I pretty much ignore theirs though. It shouldn't exist. They oughtta be playing The Star Spangled Banner up there if ya want my two cents. But for a quirk in history they would be, too. Canada should have been ours! " Your jealousy (or is it envy?) is showing. Or, to paraphrase Colonel Nathan Jessup, in A Few Good Men, "You can't handle Canada ".  Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.

did you write this yourself or do research? The US national anthem is a melody from an old English drinking song, not martial. blog on!
