Yeah, I got it drilled into me in middle school... I only heard it every day for about 3 years  ; |

Not the American one, sorry  ! But if I can remember back home it was...
Kimi ga yo wa Chiyo niachiyo ni Sazare ishi no Iwao to narite Koke no musu made 君が代は 千代に 八千代に 細石の 巌となりて 苔の生すまで The romanji was from heart, I had to look up the characters only because I don't have a keyboard that does them very well...but when I looked them up I saw I was correct I'm sort of happy I guess..(edited by Yoronosuku on 09-24-06 02:16 PM) |

| During Football and Basketball seasons, I play it (on average) at least once a week. And I believe I know most of the lyrics.
But damn, I can play it on Trombone, not nearly as many people can do that. |

I'm convinced that they teach you how to sing the anthem in elementary school then just have you sing it at random intervals for the rest of your life. 
(We sang it every day in elementary, and then in high school... yeah.) |

| I can play it on the flute, too. It's very easy to remember... I learned it years ago and can still picture it on paper in my head.
I also learned this "national anthem for dummies" in elementary school, which pretty much changed the words to make it more understandable (and it rhymed!). So yeah... I definitely know it. |

| National Anthem: easy.
The University of Toledo alma mater: whuzza? I can play it on the trumpet but I don't know one word of it; same as my high school alma mater. |

No, but I still know the St John's Cadet Code of Chivalry: I promise: To serve God To be loyal to my Sovereign and my Officers To observe the mottos of the Order, which are: pro fide, for the faith pro utilitatae hominum, for the service of mankind To be thorough in work and play To be truthful and just in all things To be cheerful and prompt in all I do To help the suffering and the needy To be kind to all animals I had to recite that at the end of every training thingo... We used to goof off and say the line "to be cheerful and prompt in all I do" in a sing-song voice. |

| My public school had us pledge allegiance every day; I refused, noting that there was nothing forcing me to. From that point on I made lotsa mouth movements and no singing; like badly dubbed Kung Fu.
Lessee... this is what comes to mind. We all live in the USA This place truly free There are Big Macs everywhere But where is liberty? ......That's not it. Sweet Land of Liberty Of theee I.. .uhhh ... sing? Bombs bursting in air Oh the rocket's red glare But The flag was still there Blah blah blah Beats me. Then again, I plan to move to Japan, so it won't do me much good there either. |

| Let's see... I know the first part of the GDR (east Germany) anthem...
Auferstanden aus Ruinen und der Zukunft zugewandt lass uns dir zum Guten dienen, Deutschland einig Vaterland Alte Not gilt es zu zwingen, und wir zwingen sie vereint denn es muss uns doch gelingen, dass die Sonne schön wie nie über Deutschland scheint, über Deutschland scheint. Also the European one, or at least the (original, since it is a Beethoven composition with Text based on Schiller, as far as I know) German text ... Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium wir betreten feuertrunken Himmlische, dein Heiligtum. Deine Zauber binden wieder was die Mode streng geteilt alle Menschen werden Brüder wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. Wem der große Wurf gelungen eines Freundes Freund zu sein wer ein holdes Weib errungen mische seinen Jubel ein Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle weinend sich aus diesem Bund. I am unsure whether there are more verses to it, but that's all I remember right now. _¬ |
