(just kidding of course, no disrespect intended)
BTW, someone could post the lyrics of the Anthem?
I beg you pardon for my ignorance 😳

P.S.: oh well, I can google for it anyway.
I'll post the lyrics for my suggestion that should replace the anthem of Great Britain 😛

I wanna take you to a gay bar,
I wanna take you to a gay bar,
I wanna take you to a gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.
Let's start a war, start a nuclear war,
At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.
Wow!
At the gay bar.
Now Tell me do ya?, but do ya have any money?
I wanna spend all your money,
at the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.
(Pause)
I've got something to put in you,
I've got something to put in you,
I've got something to put in you,
At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.
Wow!
You're a superstar, at the gay bar.
You're a superstar, at the gay bar.
Yeah! you're a superstar, yeah at the gay bar.
You're a superstar, at the gay bar.
Superstar.
Super, super, superstar
Actually, I agree with this. Everytime that anthem is played I feel embarrassed. I think the Italian one is quite cool and the French one is too.
If the words weren't so crappy I'd go for "Rule Brittania", particularly the twiddly bit at the beginning. Possibly "Jerusalem" though why we would want to build that in "England's green and pleasant land" I'll never know.
God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the queen
She ain't no human being
There is no future
In England's dreaming
Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's no future, no future,
No future for you
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
'Cause tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what she seems
Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God have mercy
All crimes are paid
When there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future, you're future
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
We mean it man
And there is no future
In England's dreaming
No future, no future,
No future for you
No future, no future,
No future for me
No future, no future,
No future for you
No future, no future
For you
Then again, I go with expressive regarding the Electric Six 🙂
Originally posted by SeitseTrouble with this though is that it won't really have the same effect when only the tune is played. This would reduce the impact it would have as a national anthem.

The UK doesn't have a national anthem. Considering it's made up of four different countries, that's not surprising.
The British government did want it played at all UK team national events though...but that didn't go down too well.
God save the Queen is the English national anthem. And it's not only about saving one singular person. It's about destroying the Scots. Political correctness has removed one of the verses in which that is overly, blatantly clear.
The Scots (or as some people seem to say: The Scotch) don't officially have a national anthem.
They started singing "Oh, flower of Scotland" (a folk song written in the 90's by The Corries) during rugby matches in the 70's (I don't know why) and since then it sweeped over into other Scottish international games (like football...although why we even try to participate is beyond me) and has been adopted as a national anthem by the people.
Arguably though, "Scot's Wha Hay" by Robert Burns is a better song, less singable, but the lyrics are fantastic.
Regardless of the words to God Save the Queen, it's just a dreary tune.
I dread hearing it at sporting events where all the other countries have perky tunes that the fans sing along to with gusto, then our dirge plays out and dampens any enthusiasm.
Jerusalem has the nicest tune, words are too religious for me.
Rule Britannia is at least upbeat, but not really keen on it.
Land of Hope and Glory is not a badt tune, actually - quite rousing, singable (never read the words, though - they might need changing).
Anything but GSTQ!!

this was my racist primary school teacher's favourite song. he loved ALL RACES singing it before assembly. looking around the room first to make sure we paid the proper respect, before we began our praise and worship songs to a noble white person... and then he would hold his head high and sing.
lol, it may have topped him off later in life when he saw her son paying respect to me, for winning a running race.
