National Anthems For Sale

You got a good native-country song? Something that really resonates?
One that makes you proud of your history? One that was written by a famous figure in the past? A glorious song of wars fought-hard, and battles won, battles that were paid-for in blood? All the hardship and suffering that stirs you, and embodies the noble soul and essence of your native land?? Something that maybe people lately have gotten lax and condescending about, but still raises their spirits and national ardor*?

How about We re-write your old-country song to our own words and language, change a few things - sing it in English?

It will still sound like the old anthem-thing, but that was old and we need to change it so it addresses our modern-day needs and wants. That would be bitchin' kewl (and so postmodern), right?

Somebody should look into the music-rights. Could make a bundle on it. Like Michael Jackson owning the Beatles.

~Janna ganna manna, dum maro dum...~

Yeh right, I thought so.

*Trick question -- does anybody know what ardor means?
