National Anthem

the US national anthem is okay, i guess. we totally ripped a british drinking song and attempted to make something patriotic out of it, which was a pretty successful endeavor. i agree with the sentiment that it's not an empowering piece of music.

.. am i the only one who, when someone says "god saves the queen", thinks of the sex pistols song?
 
I think they tried to make it rhyme, so I don't know how accurate it is. :P

yeah it looks like the translator just took the vague idea of each verse then composed entirely different lyrics. how odd! and dammit, there's no mention of god in the original >:(

Well of course! Have you ever seen a happy Scottish person who's on holiday? Even Scottish expats are constantly depressed because they aren't being rained on every time they step out of their front door.

(And Flower of Scotland is pretty much LOL ENGLAND WE BEAT YOU ONCE HA HA HA HA LOSER.)
(Slovene is such a pretty word. Irrelevantly.)
