@VeryBadLlama Some days you want the anodyne ode to the scenery, some days you want the Jesuit war hymn.

@VeryBadLlama The thing I find most interesting about the Canadian anthem is that the Anglophones sing about protecting their country ("we stand on guard for thee") while the Francophones sing about the country protecting *them* ("protégera nos foyers et nos droits"). 🤔

@VeryBadLlama I think the South African one too.

@VeryBadLlama USA fits B) and C). Need to replace it with "This land is your land"

@VeryBadLlama do lyric-less anthems like Spain’s one get their own category though? 😁 Something like:

- Hum hum, hum hum! Hum hum hummm.

@VeryBadLlama the Soviet anthem was a celebration of worker liberation and internationalism :)

@VeryBadLlama yep, we have the English Protestant anthem and the French Catholic anthem.

Just read them both to my 12-year old on Canada Day. "Those are not at all the same thing. We just do the bilingual version at school."

Is there another category for "we mashed versions together to confuse people"? Maybe a special category for doing three verses in three different languages?

@VeryBadLlama I mean, the English version _also_ fits "We Speak French and We Will Fucking Kill You" if you know to look for it. It's not in your face about it, but that's not really how we roll anyways.
