One of the best anthems in one of the best scenes followed by one of the best deadpan jokes In one of the best movies.
The URSS, then Russia (the soviet lyrics are better tbh) then Turkey.
The imagery in the lyrics about a flag flying throughout a battle are cool, but the music is just eh
What lyrics? It doesn’t have any.
Fuck all the war songs, Slovenia’s anthem is a drinking song called The Toast if I remember correctly.
Exactly. But only the part where it talks about peace anong nations is the official anthem
AZERBAYCAN AAAAA ZERRR BAYYYY CAA AAAAAN
The Italian anthem sung at the top of their lungs by the entire Ferrari crew after a win at Monza.
The Soviet Union
It was so good Russia couldn’t invent any better and took the same music and a few lines
I haven’t really heard many of them, but I haven’t heard one I like yet. Like, that I would listen to just because it’s a banger of a song.
It’s not the best by a very big margin. But whenever I get up wasted after a night of partying and have a look at the mirror, I hear the anthem of long gone eastern Germany.
Auferstanden aus Ruinen Und der Zukunft zugewandt…
Risen from ruins And turned toward the future…
The lyrics are so much more hopefull than I expected
It was a dictatorship, nice anthem or not.
Unironically a better song that yhe current German anthem.
Italy or Russia
Ukraine’s national anthem is definitely up there. Part of the reason is that it’s writen by an actual songwriter instead of a poet, unlike the anthems of most western nations
You would think the Caribbean national anthems would be straight choonz.
But they all kept the colonizer anthems. Which suck.
Not even a marimba in sight.
I’ve always liked Canada

I’m a huge fan of O Canada. Always enjoyed catching hockey games where one of the Canadian teams came down and so I’d get to hear it. Also enjoyed seeing games up in Montreal and getting the Francophonian version.
The French lyrics are different too, not sure how many people outside of Canada even know that, sports fans aside! In Alberta schools since the 80’s they’ve sung the middle part of the song in French even if the kids have no idea what they’re saying 😅, here’s English translation:
O Canada! Land of our ancestors, Thy brow is wreathed with glorious flowers. For thy arm knows how to carry the sword, It knows how to carry the cross! Thy history is an epic Of the most brilliant exploits. And thy valour, steeped in faith, Will protect our homes and our rights. Will protect our homes and our rights.Unfortunately very Christian.
