Should England have a new National Anthem?
 

Should England have a new National Anthem? Do you like God Save The Queen or is it time for a change?

What should we have instead?

I think it's dated and boring, rather sanctimonious. Need something respectful but with a bit of oomph.

Thoughts?

there really is only one option

No

IMAGINE:

Do you mean England? Welsh and Scots have their own. (Although googling doesn't look like Scotland has one officially)

I love God Save the Queen. No need to change it.

Oh yes. I'll amend the OP :blush:

To answer the OP: Yes. God save the Queen is truly awful.

Jerusalem is infinitely better. GSTQ is dirge.

i like the national anthem its the best one of all countries. there's actually only afew others which are good as well. most are awful.
no idea what the lyrics say except god save the queen . maybe they could change it to the vindaloo song or something though

lol please

US, Germany, France piss all over us.

Shame the USSR one isn't used any more, that's probably the greatest ever.

add Italy's to that list, it's my favourite one in the football tournaments

I always think Get Down On It is a good marching tune...

Shut up and let me go by the ting tings

Jerusalem is too Church Like.

u.s and germany are good, except the usa one is vomit lyrics.
france though you have to be kidding. its awful

i do like the germany one but i always feel guilty liking it lol

England has never had a national anthem. They just use "GSTQ" at sporting events because it's the national anthem of the United Kingdom. Wales or Scotland could use "GSTQ" if they wanted to, but they wisely use their own anthems.

The Rugby team should sing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" before matches.

The football team can have "Vindaloo" as the national anthem at the World Cup.

Don't mind GSTQ but prefer Jerusalem.

would actually emigrate if that happened, Mock
