To my poor old ears the best TUNES are:
Russia, Brazil, Italy ... in no particular order. [I KNOW Italy aren't in this one].
Ours gets low points, because of dreariness, but at least you can shut it off at any given point.
Some of them, though; "You think it's all over, well it's not, for at least another 12 verses"

Re: On Anthems
Why have God Save the Queen as your anthem anyway?
Apart from being a fucking dirge, just like Flower of Scotland I may say, it's the anthem for the UK as a whole, not it's constituent parts.
I think you'd be better having Jerusalem; pertains to England and is a fantastic tune / song.

The Portugal's pretty good as is the wordless symphony of the Spain one. Missing Holland and Italy at the tournament purely on the basis that we don't hear there's .

Re: On Anthems
Not to mention The Star Spangled Banner, the second best anthem after La Marseillaise.

Re: On Anthems
Didn't Gough and Durham condemn the Spanish team for not singing along with their national anthem?

But it's not about Israel. Many ponder it quite revolutionary and has had a long left wing following as well as other Christian metaphors. Plus it was called, 'And Did Those Feet in Ancient Time'.

It specifically mentions England, as well.

Re: On Anthems
Billy Connolly, back when he was still funny, said that our anthem should be "The Archers Theme". That's a rousing tune, I have to admit.
