Yea, so that whole Christina Aguilera debacle has anthems on my mind still. So, what yours? Try to list top 3. I kind of want to say that you have to pick one that ISN'T your own, but if you truly believe yours is it then list it.
My top three are:
1. USA (yes maybe slightly biased, but it's good)

2. UK (love the militaristic tone of the second verse =)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN9EC3Gy6Nk&feature=related
3. South Korea (And I'm not just saying it because I live here, believe it or not it rocks)
Here's Korea's with English lyrics if you've never heard it--you probably have after local programs go off the air...)

1) The Romanian - that is a stomping tune.
2) The United States - another stomping tune.
3) The Flower of Scotland and..
4) I like 'God Defend New Zealand' and the Spanish national anthem that doesn't have any words - so I have heard. |

That's the absolute worst. I f'in hate that song.
I do agree about the Italian one tho. Sums up the country.
But the Marseillaise is the best by far! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBunJcr1DP8 |
