If you could change the national Anthem...

[Khamelion]

...what would change it to, or wouldn't you change it.

I think it was Billy Connolly who said the archers theme tune would be quite good.

Personally I would leave as is.

I would change it...Land of Hope and Glory.

Shame the footballers wouldn't know the words though...they struggle as it is!

 

[Rooter]

I wouldn't change it.

And some rugby union players - watch the singing in the England line up against Argentina.

The National Anthem of which country? UK or England?

Aye - pretty good - but slightly tweaked words to this by Dougie Maclean would just do me grand - chorus is probably fine. Love it. Have the Pipes and Drums playing it in front of 52,000 at Hampden - just brilliant - get the emotions up and then we're jumpiong to some Run Rig or Proclaimers. Gerrintaethem.

Nae Bother At Awe.... by Michael Mara for Scotland
Archers theme for England

England really do need to get a new anthem of their own and stop using the British one.
The British anthem should only be used for UK events.

Land of Hope and Glory or Jerusalem. I am a monarchist but would prefer something a little more rousing to stir the blood.

Have a "Like" on me Snelly :thup:

 

[upsidedown]

Land of Hope and Glory or Jerusalem. .

Would be in the mix for me also.

Both Christian hymns.....not exactly inclusive as the majority of the population are not Christian.
They need a new inclusive tune.

Scotland have a wealth of riches with Caledonia, Highland Cathedreal, etc etc.
England need a new tune with a bit of passion and pride, you would think with the wealth of musicians they have, someone would have sorted it by now.
To have your rugby anthem as dirty song must be quite embarrassing.

I don't know the full words to that but they can be re-worked.
Best suggestion by miles.
