National anthem - girt by cringe

[theyellowsash]

Just replace it with the Richmond theme, everyone knows it's the best one. Replace yellow and black with os-tray-lee-uh and a few other tigers related words and you're good to go.

Oh we're from stray-li-a
It's hot and humid
We're from stray-li-a
In any weather you will see us with a tin
Hey
Risking sunburn on the skin
Hey
Your land is mine so never mind oh what a ****ing find
Oh we're from stray-li-a
We'll never leave until the final bell is rungggg
Not like the pommies of old, shithouse and cold
Oh we're from stray-li
Get ****ed ya campaigners
Oh we're stray-li-a!!!

The SSB is one of the most depressing dirges out there. It's horrible.

Look at anthems from France or Russia for something good.

The working title for La Marseillaise was "War Song for the Rhine Army" after France declared war on their neighbour Austria.
How can we make this work for us?

It's about the tune, bro.

You'll scarcely find an anthem from an older country that doesn't mention war. La Marseillaise is particularity gruesome.

It's absolute rubbish the kind of crap primary school teachers force kids to sing when they're not forcing them to believe in global warming and other nonsense.

Username checks out.

Since most of our club songs are based on US military anthems, why not just play the str spangled banner?

Most? I thought it was just Adelaide's, and most of the Victorian ones were based on old cabaret songs.

The New Zealand national anthem was written by an Irishman living in Australia.

The Maori part too?

The Maori part is an indirect translation of the original poem.

Just play the curb your enthusiasm song

And representing australia, the winner of the gold medal is steven bradbury

 

[underthestars]

That's fair.

And yes nothing wrong with liking it I guess.

There must have been enough Aussies at the time to have voted for it to become a National Anthem.

Just like the Flag (which you ripped off from Aotearoa).

Victorian Blue Ensign 1870-1877

 

[Hawthorn United]

This for our new anthem.

 

[B4Bear]

You sound revolutionary enough to prefer La Marseillaise...

Everyone's anthem is second rate compared to this.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Just make the Richmond theme song our national anthem already.

 

[JackFlash]

National Anthems are not meant to be chart toppers just ask the Canadians who have possibly the worst anthem of them all! I'd be just as happy if "Waltzing Matilda" was the anthem...but who really cares? Some countries have national anthems whoes lyrics would make any child within earshot weep in terror. ...

Love to see Barnesey actually do this

NZ Anthem is great. Personal favourite is South Africa's:

I think 'oh Canada' does pretty well too.

France is the top tho. I think the translation has a line about the blood of tgeir enemies fertilizing their fields too. Metal.

15 year olds lied about their age to fight in WW1. Kids these days complain about the National Anthem being played pre-game.

Close thread.

I hate this kind of nationalistic bullshit. I bet the people liking your post are mostly geezers who dream of the old days where people were supposably harder and made of tougher stuff. Never mind the fact that many of those kids who enlisted in WW1 were poorly educated rubes who had no idea what they were actually getting into.

Deep down every Australian knows our anthem is garbage. This is why so many people want it changed to waltzing matilda which is only a slighly less offensive option but I'd take it.

Only bogans think Waltzing Matilda is a better option.

I suppose you sit during the national anthem and don't sing the words?

No one knew what they were getting into in 1914 on either side.

You seem to be taking this more seriously than I had thought.
