I can (and do on a regular basis ;) ) roar the Australian National anthem out at rubgy games, and as an ex-Scot pumped "O'Flower Of Scotland" out back in the day...but i have trouble imagining a crowd blasting out your National anthem as a 'getting pumped' warmup? (without orchestral accompaniment (sp?) anyway)

Non-rednecked automatic flame responses preferred ;) This is just my 2c, no more...

Cheers,

Dug.

I'm not suprised that you posted this. You sure do seem to stoke the fire alot around here.

I've never heard any other national anthems so I have nothing to compare it to.

honestly no desire to stoke here :(

i think its a awesome tune (and when sung properly amazing to hear), but i just can't imagine a crowd blasting it out by themselves during the interval...although i am happy to stand corrected :D

I think it's better than Australia's. But then again I guess only rednecks need an anthem to pump themselves up. Typical Australians.

I've heard it before. There have been threads about national anthems before with links to sites that have had national anthems listed up. Australia's is one of the worst, IMO.

They should have just made their national anthem the theme song for Crocodile Dundee if it even had a theme song of any sort.

i suspect you missed the bit where i asked rednecked flamers not to bother posting, or perhaps the bit where i told you to stop trolling in my thread :|

I've asked a serious question, and you come in here and flame like a 12 year old (like you alway seem to do to my threads), give me a break you racist fvck and leave my threads alone please?

Clear?

Then why are you posting? You're Australian! :laugh:

I'm not trolling at all. I'm stating that it's not supposed to exactly pump you up as if you are a redneck. And in comparison the Australian anthem is horrendous.

I've asked a serious question, and you come in here and flame like a 12 year old (like you alway seem to do to my threads), give me a break you racist fvck and leave my threads alone please?

Clear?

Again with the anger problems. Typical of many Australians, IMO.

I didn't know that "Aussie" was a race.

i agree with you, its a little on the underwhemling side. But i love it, cuz it remendes people of the lives lost fighting to free this country and later on who fought to protect it. You don;t need a big bad, in your face song to really feel patrotic about your country.

The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

I don't think that an Anthem should be pumping you up. When I think of someone who gets pumped up because of an anthem, I think of someone with a flag tied around their head too tightly, with their face painted the colors of the flag, etc.
