National anthems vary in quality, create awkward moments at international sporting events and confusion during coup's d'etat. A rousing world anthem is sorely needed.
L'Internationale
http://en.wikipedia...nale#English_lyrics
Arise, you prisoners of starvation!
Arise, you wretched of the earth!
For justice thunders condemnation:
A better world's in birth!

i'd vote for Voltes V's theme song as world anthem, it's very snappy. |
|
| |
So whoever won, the same anthem would be played? The "we are all winners" sort of thing? |
|
| |
But national anthems are intended to stir patriotic fervour. What would be the purpose of this? |
|
| |
The Intergalactic Olympics of course. |
|
| |
I'd like to nominate the theme tune from "Roobarb and Custard". It's international because there are no lyrics, and yet catchy enough for everyone to sing along to. |
|
| |
Intragalactic, surely, otherwise we would need a galaxy anthem. |
|
| |
//I'd like to nominate the theme tune from
"Roobarb and Custard"// I vote for the
theme tune to Hawaiii 5-0. |
|
| |
I vote for "It's not unusual" by Tom Jones. |
|
| |
I vote: "Is there anybody out there?" ~ Pink Floyd. |
|
| |
I'm puttin in a vote for "Yakkety Sax". Hopefully there will be a whacky chase through a hallway with a bunch of doors though. |
|
| |
It won't work but even wishing for it gets a + from me. |
|
| |
Roobarb and Custard seconded "biddley-bar biddley-bar, biddly-bi'ly bar"! |
|
| |
Good for playing before a spot of volley
ball with the Martian visitors. |
|
| |
I always thought it was "bubbaly-bar, bubbaly-bar". Could be wrong though. Either way, R&C leads the pack with 3. |
|
| |
You're thinking of Maude Flanders. |
|
| |
//The Intergalactic Olympics of course// |
|
| |
Presumably the whole competition will be fixed in the same way Miss. Universe always is, the winner is always from Earth. |
|
| |
Baked. We (?) already selected Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode", stuck it on the Voyager spacecraft's "golden record", and sent it off. Cut, wrap, ship. |
|
| |
NoAnthem would get my vote. |
|
| |
And a clear cellophane flag if you don't like the Jolly Roger. |
|
| |
"I'd like to buy the world a Coke" |
|
| |
New world order. No. Although, at the Pan-Galactic Sport Coming-together, it might be nice. I'll stay neutral. |
|
| |
I don't know why you chose this category. how about culture: language: universal |
|
| |
I like the idea of a cellophane flag. |
|
| |
A cellophane flag, semaphore it and some are against it. |
|
| |
I think it needs more cowbell. |
