    Fuck all the war songs, Slovenia’s anthem is a drinking song called The Toast if I remember correctly.

      It was so good Russia couldn’t invent any better and took the same music and a few lines

    It’s not the best by a very big margin. But whenever I get up wasted after a night of partying and have a look at the mirror, I hear the anthem of long gone eastern Germany.

    Auferstanden aus Ruinen Und der Zukunft zugewandt…

    Risen from ruins And turned toward the future…

      I’m a huge fan of O Canada. Always enjoyed catching hockey games where one of the Canadian teams came down and so I’d get to hear it. Also enjoyed seeing games up in Montreal and getting the Francophonian version.

    The Italian anthem sung at the top of their lungs by the entire Ferrari crew after a win at Monza.

    Unironically, the Soviet Union. I’ve herd that anthem a thousand times as a joke, but you know, it kinda slaps.

    Obviously I’m just talking about the arrangement and music because I’ve no idea what the lyrics mean.

    France fucks, any anthem about glorious dead and cunting monarchs in to the sun is immediately S tier.

    Sincerely, F tier UK.

      Qu’un sang impur
      Abreuve nos sillons !

      (May impure blood
      Water our furrows!)

      Can’t see anyone misinterpreting that.

      Don’t get me wrong, the Marseillaise slaps, but it does have some slighltly problematic aspects.

    Ukraine’s national anthem is definitely up there. Part of the reason is that it’s writen by an actual songwriter instead of a poet, unlike the anthems of most western nations

    You would think the Caribbean national anthems would be straight choonz.

    But they all kept the colonizer anthems. Which suck.

    Not even a marimba in sight.

    Brazil has a very complicated, beautiful and long national anthem. Its great and all but using such difficult words and being so long means most people here don’t know the full song much less understand its meaning.

    Funnily enough, I memorized and can sing the italian hymn because of my middle school, but can’t sing the full national anthem from my own country

      I am not sure they still do but back in the day at least some Brazilian text books used to have the national anthem on the back, thats how I learned the words.
