GB National Anthem

[laurel]

Has anyone noticed that the GB national Anthem doesnt sound quite right??

Sounds a bit awfull at the midway point...................but im glad we are hearong it SOOOOOOOO many times ....Cmon GB

[joebloggs]

I wonder where dedworth is after slagging off Giggs for not singing the national anthem, from what i've seen on TV most British medal winners didn't

and at least Murray had a try and wore the Union Jack not bad for a Scot

[lastlid]

Mrs Lastlid sings it every time.....practice for the new Life in the UK Test, should she take it and not the original one....

'hey Jude'

there can only be one choice the ' unofficial 'anthem of England

Jerusalem Hymn

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

Nothing involving religion PLEASE !

Some people on here might like 'Get Back' by The Beatles though.

I notice that Mo Farah didn't sing during the national anthem just now, so I guess Dedworth would have him shot.

[grahamw48]

Do you mean MOHAMMED Farah ?

Yes. The Somali pirate...

[grahamw48]

Surprising.

I loved it when everyone started singing Hey Jude after the Olympic cycle race, and there was Paul McCartney in the audience, so of course he just had to have a good old singalong.

Wouldn't get that anywhere else.

Scotland has, of course, adopted its very OWN National Anthem ... "O Power of Scotland ..."

Presumably at the next Olympics, Scotland will be competing separately?

Personally - and sincerely - I hope NOT! ... each of the four countries that form our once-proud Nation NEEDS the other - particularly those that are joined at their landward boundaries.

[Arthur Little]

landward boundaries.

Oops ... ... forgot you're an 'islander' - by residence.

[Arthur Little]

Besides ... "President Salmond" sounds a bit too "fishy"!

Well, as things stand, I am 100% English and really only a visitor to the IOM. But anyhow, I agree, I hope we all stick together.

oh and i thought it was o flower of scotland

God Save the Queen is an awesome anthem, but yes it sounds out of tune at the Olympics. But no complaints here that we are hearing it so many time! Long may it continue!

As for anthems though, As the UK or GB, God Save the Queen has to stay, but I wish as England we differed. Land of Hope and Glory is my choice

Im glad I had at least one reply to the original question

You should know by now that most of these threads have a tendency to meander off onto magical mystery tours covering almost every unconnected subject known to man.

Magical Mystery Tour...hmm, now there's another good Beatles tune.

My son is given the good varied diet and I just eat what needs eating.
