lol, catching up on my Podcasts for the week, and I'm listening to a segment where somebody on a national radio station had called for all people who are applying for Australian Citizenship to be able to sing the Australian Anthem off by heart.
So, Triple J went out and asked Australians if they could sing the Anthem off by heart... Not many people could. I can't say I know that many people that can, either. I know the words to the Australian National Anthem; off by heart, but I was wondering if you guys knew your National Anthems off by heart? |

I don't.
Not even three lines of it. Not really something I would consider important enough to take up space on my mind. |

I know the whole thing, I had to memorize it for one of my history classes in middle school. It's not very difficult to remember once you have it down. | |||

I know how it goes musicwise but for lyrics, it's about only the first line. | |||

Originally posted by ||bass I wouldn't go that far, but I think it's a little disappointing that more people don't know it. I mean... what do they do at major sporting events? I think a documentary I saw had Americans being asked to sing their National Anthem -- they couldn't. But they could tell us what was on a Big Mac. That might have been Super Size Me come to think of it. |

I know O Canada in both English and French, thank you very much.
Technically speaking, our royal anthem IS God Save the Queen, but that's rarely if ever sung so I don't know it. (It's sung whenever the Queen visits but aside from that...) |

I remember the first verse, I think..
Ja vi elsker dette lander som det stiger frem Furet værbitt over vanner, med de tusen hjem Elsker, elsker det og tenker På vår far og mor Og den saganatt som senker Drømmmer på vår jord ~~ Well, the first verse is pretty much what everyone remembers anyway. Also, I'm kind of drunk, but not to much this time, believe it or not. So, that's my excuse. |

As Yoshi Dude said, I know what most consider to be "The National Anthem", IE its first verse. I know there are several more that aren't sung anymore, though, but I wouldn't be able to sing them for you. | |||

Let's see if I can...
---------- Can't escape it ain't no use in tryin' No exception, love will leave you crying too Till you're a broken man, poor you The day you see her, a lovely stranger You only pray that soon you'll know her name You finally touch her then you're in danger It won't be long before you feel the pain 'Cause your emotions will overtake you You'll look for heaven in her big brown eyes But she's no angel and she'll forsake you That shouldn't come as any great suprise Passion isn't really happiness There is trouble in her sweet caress Lost in confusion You'll drown in delusion If you don't run Get ready love will leave you cryin' It's gonna hurt you 'til you heart is dyin' Can't escape it ain't no use in tryin' No exception, love will leave you crying too Till you're a broken man, poor you ---------- .... Oh, wait, that's the opening theme to Tenchi Universe. My bad. |

I know:
- the Canadian national anthem in French,and English. (Not God Save the Queen.. I don't even know the tune of that one. >>) - a few lines of the US national anthem, and most of the tune.. xD - the first line and a couple random ones of the Swiss national anthem. :o ..Which I probably also butcher horribly. We had to sing the national anthem every day at the beginning of school from kindergarden to gr. 8, alternating between French and English, so that explains that. The few lines of the US anthem is from catching bits of it on TV, and also from moving here relatively recently.. and the Swiss anthem.. my stepdad used to sing it in an overly goofy pompous voice sometimes, to make us laugh. ?

Speaking of other countries national anthems -- I'm reminded that a lot of people (overseas and otherwise) think that our national anthem is a different song to the one it actually is
I don't really know the anthems of other nations; but I've seen the first few lines of the US one on TV and in movies a lot... |
