not sure if its thier anthem, but my fave piece of music is "scotland the brave"
go the bagpipes!!!
 
Well of course I love "The Star Spangled Banner" of the US but I actually like "America The Beautiful" better and wish that had been chosen as our anthem.

As to other countries, yes, the Soviets had a damn nice anthem, but I'll go along with Dougal on voting for France's "Marseillaise". That's a truly heart soaring tune of liberty.
 
i have to say the NZ one (of course) but it sounds better in maori (even though i can't understand what it says...proabaly a straight translation)

my fav part is the third verse in english!

God of nations! at Thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our Free Land.
Guard Pacific's triple star,
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand

Men of ev'ry creed and race
Gather here before Thy face,
Asking Thee to bless this place,
God defend our Free Land.
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our State,
Make our country good and great,
God defend New Zealand.

Peace, not war, shall be our boast,
But, should foes assail our coast,
Make us then a mighty host,
God defend our Free Land.
Lord of battles in thy might,
Put our enemies to flight,
Let our cause be just and right,
God defend New Zealand.

Let our love for Thee increase,
May Thy blessings never cease,
Give us plenty, give us peace,
God defend our Free Land.
From dishonour and from shame
Guard our country's spotless name
Crown her with immortal fame,
God defend New Zealand.

May our mountains ever be
Freedom's ramparts on the sea,
Make us faithful unto Thee,
God defend our Free Land.
Guide her in the nations' van,
Preaching love and truth to man,
Working out Thy Glorious plan,
God defend New Zealand

E Ihoa Atua,
O nga Iwi Matoura,
Ata whaka rongona;
Me aroha noa.
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa

Ona mano tangata
Kiri whero, kiri ma,
Iwi Maori Pakeha
Repeke katoa,
Nei ka tono ko nga he
Mau e whakaahu ke,
Kia ora marire
Aotearoa

Waiho tona takiwa
Ko te ao marama;
Kia whiti tona ra
Taiawhio noa.
Ko te hae me te ngangau
Meinga kia kore kau;
Waiho i te rongo mau
Aotearoa

Tona pai me toitu;
Tika rawa, pono pu;
Tona noho, tana tu;
Iwi no Ihoa.
Kaua mona whakama;
Kia hau te ingoa;
Kia tu hei tauira;
Aotearoa
 
I like the United States national anthem the lyrics are pretty good and song is okay too.

Australia's is quite nice also.
 
The old Soviet one, followed by the Israeli one.

Apparently the Irish one was a tossup between the current one and "O'Donnell Abu", which is a really kick- :cen: tune and lyric, but might have peeved the UK...

Hmm Given the choice it would have to be the French one only narrowly from the old Soviet Unions and German anthems.
 
I have to say Soviet Anthem And Israeli...


Kol od balevav p'nimah כל עוד בלבב פנימה
Nefesh Yehudi homiyah נפש יהודי הומיה
Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah ולפאתי מזרח קדימה
Ayin l'tzion tzofiyah עין לציון צופיה
Od lo avdah tikvatenu עוד לא אבדה תקותנו
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim התקוה בת שנות אלפים
L'hiyot am chofshi b'artzenu להיות עם חופשי בארצנו
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim ארץ ציון וירושלים


As long as deep in the heart,
The soul of a Jew yearns,
And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks
Our hope will not be lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
 
Id have to agree with the star wars theme. also the Zelda Overworld theme. But nothing beats the star spangled banner at 7:00pm on a rainy friday night seconds before kickoff. Damn i miss football.

iv only heard a few different ones, but i like the old USSR one, i like the way it sounds, even if you cant understand the words ( i dont know Russian :D ) i think that it sounds even better than the Star Spangled Banner, but its close
