    South African one is currently my favorite, what about yours ? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    (Note, this started off as a conversation between me and Martin :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

    Du gamla, du fria, du fjällhöga Nord,
    du tysta, du glädjerika sköna!
    Jag hälsar dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
    din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna,
    din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna.

    Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,
    då ärat ditt namn flög över jorden.
    Jag vet, att du är och du blir vad du var.
    Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!
    Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!

    Thou ancient, thou freeborn, thou mountainous North,
    In beauty and peace our hearts beguiling,
    I greet thee, thou loveliest land on the earth,
    Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.
    Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.

    Thy throne rests on mem’ries from great days of yore,
    When worldwide renown was valour’s guerdon.
    I know to thy name thou art true as before.
    Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden,
    Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden.

    I'd have to say #1 American, perhaps because I've heard it so often on TV at sports events.I also like the different interpretations by various performers. I'm also aways impressed by the way the jets fly over at exactly the right moment.
    #2 French. Which I remember singing lustily in Grade 10 French class led by our teacher Romeo La Pierre a true Frenchman.

    Anyone who says American is offically brainwashed.

    Canada however...we got a anthem that sticks to your ribs.

    Well, as much as I like a well done O Canada, the national anthem of israel, Hatikva, truly takes the proverbial cake:

    I tried to find a good version, but I can't seem to find my favourite one in youtube so...

    The South African anthem is beautiful.

    The German National Anthem:

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WnJSSKYNyI[/YOUTUBE]

    Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
    für das deutsche Vaterland!
    Danach laßt uns alle streben
    brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
    Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
    sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
    Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
    blühe, deutsches Vaterland.

    America all the way!!!

    South Africa's anthem is a tasteless amalgamation of totally incompatible songs made for politically correct reasons.

    I've got to go with la marseillaise. The French sure know how to do a good anthem.
