Favourite national anthem?

Hate the Yanks but have to hand it to them. Their anthem certainly gets them going.
Ours is like listening to a Leonard Cohen EP.

I always believe that "Jerusalem" should be played instead of "God save the Queen/King".. Even the Queen's Grandfather preferred "Jerusalem" the " God Save the King".
Another Anthem I like was the old French anthem ( before the revolution) Marche Henri IV - Royal Anthem of France written by Tchaikovsky.

I do like the Scottish one but I think the Hatikvah just edges it for me.

I like the national anthem of Hong Kong
Hong Kong phooey, the number one super guy
Hong Kong phooey, quicker than the human eye
Oh, he's got style, a groovy smile, a bod that just won't stop
When the going gets rough, he's super tough
With the Hong Kong phooey chop
Hong Kong phooey, the number one…
Also that of the Dutch:
A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"
Scotland too:
I've just come down from the Isle of Skye
I'm no very big and I'm awful shy
And the lassies shout when I go by
Donald, where's your troosers?

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair!
Beneath our radiant southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;…
What a pile of old rancid land nicking cunt...

I find Advance Australia Fair lacks a bit of punch
Something from the oeuvre of AC DC would work better.
But at least its not a load of ridiculous simpering brown nosing like 'God' save the 'Queen'
Good riddance to that shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeqiderPDes
3. France... Casablanca... play that French anthem again sam.. goosebumps
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DtiiGdo2T0
4. USA - Best lyrics and clutching heart ... even if it is about kicking our arse... in fact a few national anthems are about kicking our arse in history
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6LJxF8pEj8
5. Argentina - Nice bit of instrumental before it goes all chest bumping
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf26K1T3roQ
God Save the Queen?? Don't mind it... has brought a moist eye when I have been at Wembley and Twickenham... could be better but could do far worse... Australia for example
