Philippine National Anthem

It's actually pretty cool for a national anthem. Even though you can't understand what they are saying, you can tell they love their country much as i do crying I LOVE THE PHILIPPINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words to it are to be sung in Irish!
Ámhran na bhfiann, The soldiers song

Our anthem sucks stare

Advance Australia Fair (first verse only)

How often do you hear the word "girt" used in conversation?

A lot of people can't even remember the words to the first verse, and I reckon a large percentage of people don't even know there is a second verse (it hardly ever gets sung)

I think "Australians all eat ostriches, four minus one is three" is much more interesting (this is how a lot of kids hear it lol)

Philippine National Anthem - "Lupang Hinirang"

Now in acapella. . . no longer with instr. accompaniments. . .

^w^

Most of the words in National anthems are not really used much like in the Lupang Hinirang such as manlulupig (meaning warrior/soldier/fighter whereas the modren preferred term is mandirigma) or magiliw (which means tender whereas maamo is what is commonly used). . .

Since IMO most words in anthems are real deep words of the language it was written in. . .
