Oh Canada

I have always loved O Canada and thought Star Spangled Banner is pretty but musically, good god it's all over the place, not in a good way LOL

I was in an acapella group in college and we sang both of these many, many times - ITA with your assessment.

I’ve always been partial to Deutschland, Deutschland. Nice little ditty. La Marseillaise is decent too.

I have to agree the Russian anthem is amazing and the best I have heard. Very fitting for such an artistic people.

Italy. It's so upbeat. +1 on Russia too.

Canadian- so partial to Oh Canada!

I love the Thai national anthem. I love the jaunty song but also the respect shown to it. It is played publicly twice daily and everyone stops what they are doing to stand and listen. It's not possible to stop in all areas (escalators/busy street) but I love that social pressure can still work for people to not act the fool/disrespectful in some small area of the world.

The twice a day thing is kind of disturbing. My estimation of the country just dropped a little.

Yeah, the Canadian anthem.

A group of us had to sing it for a kids event and it's so soaring and inspiring that by the end we were belting it out like we were proper Canucks.

Finnish and Estonian. Can't tell the difference.

In addition to the US, I’m familiar with the Russian, French, German, Canadian, and English (God Save the Queen) national anthems.

Have you really only ever heard 2?


If I've heard more than two, I never noticed. I only LEARNED two, and could only identify those two.

What country is that with the crazy anthem? Australia? New Zealand? That one

Germany has a nice melody and Canada is very inspirational!
