Or Bill Bailey's version:

The American and Australian national anthems always make me feel a bit sick.

Isn't the Australian anthem 'God save the Queen'?

I'm with you, you can't touch the old Soviet Union National Anthem. You can't listen to it and not imagine a huge parade of tanks and missiles.

The American and Australian national anthems always make me feel a bit sick.

Billy Connelly's one step ahead of you there.

I think the Archer's theme tune would be a great idea!

The only Olympic event I'm going to is football at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

Seeing Mexico, North Korea and the mighty Gabon.

Need to either wear Gabon shirts, or dress up as Kim Jong-un.

It couldn't have gone out. Under new 'elf n safety' guidlines the flame was replaced by a ribbon blown by a fan. I suspect the batteries ran out.

Germany's national anthem is quite a toe-tapper.

I have a fondness for the Italian anthem.

I wonder if they will play the Borat version of the Kazakh anthem by mistake like they did recently - Kuwait event plays Borat parody as Kazakhstan national anthem - YouTube

The Olympics are cancelled. The flame was held up so long at customs it went out.

Argentina's is quite good.

We're going to hear a lot of national anthems which are generally boring and tulipe pieces of music however...

My favourite is the Russian national anthem, an inspired tune but no clue what the words mean but I don't care I think it's great done with choir and orchestra.

Any good anthems that I'm missing out on? What's yer favourite?
