National anthem

How's the national anthem of your country called?

Italy - Inno di Mameli

 

USA- "I'm a little teapot"

 

Czech rep. - "Kde domov mùj?" - "Where's the home of mine?"

 

LOL! what happened to The Star-Spangled Banner?!

 

Hehe I'm a little teapot is just so much catchier of a tune...

 

La marseillaise.


It's so violent.......haha.........vive la revolution!

 

Ours is called "Deutschlandlied" ("Germany-song") or "Lied der Deutschen" ("Song of the Germans"), very creative, I know

 

"Jeszcze Polska nie zginela poki my zyjemy"

"Poland still doesn't lost because we are alive"

 

The French national anthem is great, really upbeat.

The Irish one is Amhrán na bhFiann, mean The Soldiers Song in English.

 

We've got two national anthems. One which is pagan and one which is christian (and they've got two different ideological functions).

The pagan anthem is named "Der er et yndigt land" (=There is a lovely country), which is about the sexy goddess named Freja whom hall is named 'Denmark' or something like that. That's the hymn they always play when there are some sport arrangement (especially football!) - and all the drunk audience know the anthem by heart, and they yell it by all their drunk will, and false, unharmonic drunken voices in one big messy awful false, unharmonic noisy choir.

The christian anthem is named "Kong Christian stod ved højen mast" (=King Christian stood on the tall mast), which is the anthem that is taken use of in connection of official national ceremonies, like royal happenings, and by other national ideological official events. That anthem is about a brave king - King Christian, who bravely stood on the top of a mast of a battleship in the middle of the wavy sea while there was a storm, and while Denmark was in war, and so on and so on and so on...

...Denmark is indeed a fucked up country - just analyze the lyrics of its two national anthems! And even worse - analyze how braindead 80% of the danish population sing along, without thinking about what the anthems actually mean!!!

The pagan anthem is for the working class. The distinction of national anthems is just another way to opress people, insisting for them to be pagan, but at the same time wishing them to strive for the unattainable 'moral & true christian' class, that they can never reach anyway (because the upperclass won't let them in!). By making them strive, is the way to make them struggle against eachother, to make sure their anger will never be directed at the class who sing "Kong Christian stod ved højen mast". To sing that hymn, is something the working class strives for, and untill they've reached that goal, they must sing the pagan (and dirty non-christian) "Der er et yndigt land".

There are many ways in which to control a people. Keep your eyes wide open, folks.

 

That's our old national anthem, this is our new one:

American Girls and American Guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory Flying
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

 

Well, the anthems sound fun and interesting at least....

 

I say

one, two, three
what are we fighting for?
don't ask me, I don't give a damn
next stop is Vietnam.

just forget your Ramadan.

-noose.

 

...well, there aint no time
to wonder why (yiipeee!!!)
we're all gonna die.

-Country Joe McDonald.

 

I edited my reply at page 1 a bit, after you replied (but not because of your replies). I'm sorry. Bad habit.

 

Hey I'm watching the Woodstock-Movie at the moment and just as I read your post, Country Joe entered the stage


btw:

CCR - Fortunate Son



Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no,

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give,
oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no military son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

 

Here's the whole original lyric of the song named:
"The Fish Cheer & I-feel-like-I'm-fixin'-to-die-rag"

"Gimme an F!

F!
Gimme an I!
I!
Gimme an S!
S!
Gimme an H!
H!
What's that spell ?
FISH!
What's that spell ?
FISH!
What's that spell ?
FISH!

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die."


-Country Joe McDonald.



p.s. Take it easy: if you associate the above lyric to something going on nowadays, you're not insane. I can calm you down by assuring you, that your scary fantasies & your worst nightmares are actually taking place in reality right at the very moment.

-noose.
