Maybe so, but thankfully we didn't turn Republic with a President Blair.
Challenge : suggest a more suitable song/tune.
I'll throw "Charlie is my darling" into the ring. |

It's not the lyrics it's just the overall sound , it's just a bit dreary |

Actually, given the makeup of most "British" sports teams these days, isn't it about time we had a megamix ( mixtape sort of) even if only for use at sporting events? |

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |

Serious question, has the EU got a (federal?) Anthem.
Hope it dont give the fuckers any ideas.
"Grease, grease is the word" lol
It's Ode to Joy, I think.

Funnily enough, so was the composer - Beethoven - although the concept of Germany hadn't been invented when it was written

Given that it was Greece and Spain that cancelled 50% of the German debt in 1953/54 and that enabled Germany to become a very successful economy with all the money in Europe do you think the EU should change it to something Greek that we can dance to to help them out?  |

"Rule britiania would be good
The lyrics don't fit anymore though "
We're one of only 3 blue water navies left in the world.
With the type 45 and our astutes (don't know what our carriers are gonna be like now we decided against the catapult so we're stuck with the very shit f35 instead of decent planes) we can effect my destroy most navies on the planet.
Definitely should have put the catapults on though 
And forked out for a new domestic harrier upgrade over the travesty that is the joint strike fighter program. |

Symphony no. 9 - yes.
Funny they didn't adopt something by a composer from any of the other nations - March to the scaffold - Berlioz, or maybe a Verdi chorus

Fair enough but we definitely don't rule the waves anymore |

"We only ever sing the first verse. Rarely the four verses in modern use and, of course, never the six verses of old. 
Which are ? No googling allowed !"
I remember one of them involves whooping the Scots.

No.
Those changes were brought about under huge influence and pressure from the Yanks.
Zorba?
Sirtaki by A Rieu?
Victory by Bond and A Rieu in concert.

My word, that's an (a)rousing tune. |

Just thinking off the top of my head but... if it was a schizophrenic mix of some really OTT Wagnerian Opera spliced with sections of random bleeps, super fast hardcore breakbeats, and with the odd random word shouted out like "CUNT!!" and "TEACUP!!".. then we'd confuse the heck out of any of our competitors in events like the world cup. Whilst we're knuckling down to thrash them... they'd just be thinking in their heads... what the fuck was that crazy fucking psycho music? It'd really get in their heads, wind em up, and just plain scare em
That's just about the only way I can see of us ever winning the World Cup again lol |
