Our national anthem is a part of a 19th century poem A Toast (Zdravljica) by Slovenia's most revered alcoholic (France Preลกeren), and is inspired by French revolution ideals (equality, brotherhood...) and also by Slovene and Slavic nationalism. Nobody ever likes to sing it.
Also, as a frequent watcher of Indycar, an American motorsport, I have heard and seen too many horrendous self-indulgent renditions of Star Spangled Banner.

I enjoy how you used certain pronouns here JOS ๐ .
Really if I never hear Star-Spangled-Elongated-Note-Singing ever again, Ill be more than fine. Call me unpatriotic or whatever, but for those who actually have to sit through a national anthem rendition that's just saying what plenty are already thinking.
I'd wager you do not have the qualifications to know if something was dead or not. This takes years of studying in the field observation (of knowing what is dead) and not something you can do between sips of a can of Holsten pils.
Anyway, being Canadian and all, we only hear our national anthem sung by moose and hockey players. Those are our only two options. So imma have to go with those.
Semi-related, but I remember when I was 11 or 12 there was this kid at my school who had every national anthem from around the world on his iPod. I thought it was the strangest thing ever, and I still kinda do. _________________ Doubles & Conch
