Bill: National Anthem

Calvinball for national sport.

MessageDon't we need an anthem, so we can keep letting the children not sing it?

Maybe something simple, though.

O Lodamun
We stand on guard for thee
O Lodamun
We stand on gaurd for thee
How much we stand on gaurd for thee
O Lodamun we do
We stand on guard, O Lodamun
We stand on guard for thee
O Lodamun, we stand on guard for thee
O Lodamun, we stand on guard for thee
O Lodamun
We stand on guard for thee!

MessageWell, my first suggestions would be "The Internationale", "A las Barricadas", or "Imagine", but I guess you wouldn't want any of those.....

How about Vivalidi's Spring. It's instrumental, which is nice, it's upbeat, spring is a time for renual, it's catchy, it would sound great at political rallies as candidates are mounting the stage, or at baseball games..... eh? Like it?

MessageVivaldi's Spring from the Four Seasons Suite is very charming, but not exactly blood stirring, which if we are to have an instrumental anthem it should be.

We think some are taking this too seriously CNT. There is no political message in the suggestion we made, except maybe that of disagreement.

We prefer to play this one for fun. Any other fun, rather than politicial suggestions?

MessageFor the record, ASP, everything i've said on this thread has been in jest, from the Latin to the take-off of my own country's stupid anthem lyrics. There are no serious suggestions, let alone poltical ones, and your proposal is fine.

Although if i was being serious, i'd much prefer Vivaldi's Spring.

Message((I was referring to CNT's suggestion))

I still hold that Spring is not stirring enough to be an anthem. I could support it being our secondary national music, in the sense of Land of Hope and Glory in England.

MessageHey, I think it's pretty stiring. I stirs me. In fact, it stirsm me really hard. Like, violently. And the spoon is plastic, so it broke, and they had to get another one.

MessageWe have ammended the suggestion to produce a doupble layered National Anthem, with the organisers of any event being able to choose between them (mostly depending on the formality we would imagine.)

MessageI wonder what albert's got against the anthems.....

Eight Miles High (by the byrds) could have been a cool one, I was just thinking. It kind of lends itself to a national anthem. Too late now, I guess.
