We share our national anthem with Liechtenstein

.

When we played them at football a couple of years ago, our asinine supporters couldn't decide which anthem to boo.

I didn't know that, but it sounds about right

(although our guys tend to go with 'Flower of Scotland' I think)

I found out a year or two ago that the patriotic song we had to sing every day in second grade was to the same tune as "God Save the Queen."

Does it sound as dirge-like sung as God Save the Queen/King?

(Which can sound incredibly uplifting and rousing as an instrumental - much to my annoyance when it comes on between radio 4 going off-air and the world service taking over, as Sailing By and the shipping forecast have lulled me into a state of drowsiness; but never seems to achieve anything like that when sung.)

By lyrical coincidence, you can sing Australia's national anthem to the Gilligan's Island theme, and vice versa.

Cheers,

I think it was Emily Dickenson's poetry that can all be sung to Deep in the Heart of Texas.
