in honor of Dale Earnhardt Sr.....I think the last lines of the national anthem should be sung "o'er the land of the "3" , and the home of the brave"
all in favor??

i don't ever sing the national anthem but if people don't mind maybe we could turn this thread into "make up your own national anthem thread"? does that sound good bv77?
 
Can some one give me a list of "all those de facto national anthems" ....

Well, I've heard that the current American national anthem was originally the de facto anthem, it was a popular drinking song way back but then its popularity saw it rise.

I'd say instead of God Save the Queen could be replaced by the hymn Jerusalem... not speaking as a Brit, though

Us Australians are known to favour Waltzing Matilda over Advance Australia Fair (which is dated, hence why we only sing one of the verses)
 
Hmmm...."I've heard".....that isn't much better than a Wikipedia reference....kind of amounts to a 1" per gallon theory...
 
The 'de facto' anthems stir just as much patriotic fervour as the official ones, if not more, speaking only from the experience from an asinine 18 year old's few years on this barren earth. Australia's 'royal anthem' is God Save the Queen, showing due alleigiance to Britain, however, you'd find that most Aussies wouldn't know it outside of the namesake lyric
