A shame the Italians are not that goof at Athletics, it's the best one.
Did they play the Somalian N/A when Farah won the other night?
Just read the lyrics to the Italian anthem
Talk of victory and dying for the country.
The war had hardly started when they were waving the white flag.
Good tune though.

God save the world's longest serving benefit claimant, her majesty.
Actually HM the Queen is a donator to the country.
She gifts the country 90% of the Royal Estates earnings.

Japan - very solemn but moving. Oldest national anthem in the world apparently. 9th Century.

Rigel 9......great anthem !....if a tad disturbing !
Ours is best -- or at least does not celebrate war and revolution; it is not bombastic. The tune is a bit of a dirge though.
USA's is hard to sing and seems to break into a christmas carol in the middle.
Germany's was best -- good tune and proclaimed Germany was uber alles but the post-war words make it sound like a 1970s advert for the tourist board, as does Australia's.
Russia's has a stirring tune -- basically the old Soviet anthem with new words.
Maybe that is the trick -- we cannot understand how banal non-English words are.

The Spanish national team or any Spanish national team don't sing the Spanish national anthem because it has no lyrics.

Oops, sorry Ramruma! I thought you were being serious there for a minute. I apologise!
Flower of Scotland
Racist, smalltime, unintelligible and although I'm not a musician, the melody where he's sent homeward 'tae think again' is just a jarring noise at odds with the rest of the tune.

@Whisperingdeath -- only the actual national anthem bits are considered, as you can see from my comments on Germany. The remaining verses of the songs are of no concern.
Scandinavian Haven - Re Spain - the answer to my question is hidden away at the end of the sentence
Always thought Flour of Scotland was an advert for a bakery? "Autumn Loaves lie thick and still". It all fits.
even when I read that again I still didn't see that blackbarn, I feel stupid now
Phyllis Francis African American athlete representing the U S of A just stood on podium to receive her gold medal for winning the womens 400 x metres at the Athletic World Championships in London just now and the US national anthem was played. Not a word out of her.
