<p>What is the world’s best national anthem, in your opinion? Be sure to link to it on Youtube.</p>
<p>To me, it is clearly the [Hymn</a> of the Russian Federation](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMZfXN1UOpw]Hymn ”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMZfXN1UOpw ). It is leaps and bounds above the rest.</p>
<p>borat’s lovely twist of Kazakhstan’s anthem.</p>
<p>I like the Star Spangled Banner best. No bias here; it just has better music.</p>
<p>^ Same here, but I am indeed very biased. I never pay much attention to the athems anyways.</p>
<p>

<p>Umm, the Star Spangled Banner was a poem that was set to a British drinking song. The music is okay, but clearly not that impressive.</p>
<p>Deutschland über alles!</p>
<p>I did like that Russian one, though.</p>
<p>sevitagen, you are so negative(s)!</p>
<p>Sevitagen - I personally LOVE that it was set to an English drinking song.
It makes it all the more fun.</p>
<p>As to the question, I don’t really care.</p>

<p>La Marseillaise. There’s no competition in terms of historical significance, and let’s face it: it’s just fun to sing (also, the beautiful juxtaposition of French and military victory!).</p>
<p>georgia (tavisupleba), north korea (aegukka), USA (banner), the UK (bless), and montenegro (sevijetla)</p>
<p>I really like O Canada…</p>
<p>Obviously I like the Star Spangled Banner too. It is kind of just fun to sing.</p>
<p>Italy by far. That is a piece of art.

<p>Australia’s is my favorite English language one.</p>
<p>I love my native South Africa’s multi-language edition as well.

<p>Nobody even sings along to the US anthem. That’s the point of an anthem in the first place, to get the entire crowd to sing along, not just stand there.</p>
<p>^^ Whenever I go to events, everybody sings along to the national anthem…</p>
<p>EDIT: They also sing to the Canadian national anthem too when it is played lol.</p>
<p>I think the Chinese national anthem is pretty badass.</p>
<p>dude I definitely agree about the russian national anthem</p>
<p>it caught my ear during Euro 2008, when the plays were screaming it.</p>
