The great escape. Some idiots are always playing it at the footy anyway, might as well make it official.

How about Black Lace's "Agadoo"? The players could all do the hand motions to go with it.
Actually I still remember when Billy Connolly first suggested the Archers theme. Still think it's brilliant now.
On a more realistic level, we'll stick with God Save the Queen thank you and everyone else can bloody well change!

Goodness you English guys are sooooo out of touch.
This anthem thingy has raised it's head as NI [for some reason which escapes me] also chooses to sing GSTQ at sporting occasions.
EUFA has stated that we cannot have two teams in the European championship singing the same ditty.
One has to go.

Pretty Vacant by the Sex Pistols would fit nicely for the England Football team imo.:thup:

For soccer maybe yes but Danny Boy is used at a number sporting events, Commonwealth Games etc and the Rugby boys have to stand for Amhran na BhFiann when playing in Ireland.
I must admit I do love the Ireland's Call song that follows the Ireland rugby.

In that case we should only have one British football/rugby/cricket/golf/hockey etc etc sports team and league.

When France won the world cup at home, at Stade de France, that must have been the best singing of a national anthem I have seen on TV. It kind of set the mood for them to go out an win it.
You just can't get any energy behind the British, German, American, ... anthems. they just drone on a bit, especially the artistic version of the star spangled banner.
Italy is quite good as well.
Still, wouldn't change any country's anthem.

The Star Spangled Banner is awesome. At the start of the Stanley Cup Final games, absolutely brilliant.:thup: Really gets the crowd and players pumped.

Something by stock, Aitken and waterman - I believe they've just got back together.
Not the most rabble-rousing, but I do love Jerusalem.

Well of course actually we are not - whilst being in the UK, Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain
Besides - sounds like an HoC committee is going to recommend that UK moves to a form of bottom-up devolution / federalism with the four constituent parts having governments and deciding which powers to devolve up to a United Kingdom government.

Why does it have to be some ancient Christian based classical dirge?
if it does need to be old why not Colonel Bogey, great melody......."Hitler, he's only got one ball, the other is in the Albert Hall... etc"
They could fit some new words round the tune to Chelsea Dagger - something to get a crowd moshing.

I'd personally stick to what we have. Don't really see the need or reason for changing it. It's been what it is for many years and I for one quite like it the way it is
