Adopt a National Anthem for a day

[blobbyblob]

If you had a once in a lifetime chance to choose our National Anthem for one day only, what would you choose.

I think Sabotage by the Beastie Boys would be a bit of a laugh at a match with 80,000 singing it and hopping around. Not very patriotic or meaningful. Awful choice really but heah!

Jump Around? (House of Pain)

[EAFC_rdfl]

bit of goats don't shave, hills of donegal!!!!!!!!!!!! that would get the place livened up!!

Rolf Harris - Two Little Boys. It would confuse so many people, in particular it would confuse Rolf Harris

[Lionel Ritchie]

HR Puffinstuff theme tune.

It's got it all ...narrative, idealism, romanticism, drama, peril, heroism, valour, redemption, ingroup loyalty/outgroup hostility ...and a crackin' tune.

[Pauro 76]

My Lovely Horse by Fr Ted Crilly and Fr Dougal Maguire.

It's perfect, everyone knows the words and to have 70 or so thousand singing it in unison will pysch out our opposition.

This actually came up in pub discussion in Longford one time. We (a mix of UCD and Town fans) came up with My Lovely Horse on the basis of the camera panning across Robbie Keane before the World Cup Final as he says "Hold on, I can get this!"

Edit - Pauro was one of those in the pub at the time.

I'd choose the Italian National Anthem. It's jaunty, and fun, cannot be heard without a smirk on your face, and every time you hear it played before a match, the camera will always pick out some stunning women in the crowd.

The Welsh National Anthem puts fire in the belly!

The Scottish National Anthem sung by Ronnie Brown vs Italy was the best version of a National Anthem ever.

Both of them put Amhráin na Bhfian and Ireland's Call to shame.

[Red&White Rover]

Hammertime - MC Hammer

Just for the spectacle. We could all do the moves and everything.

[stojkovic]

Gotta be Irish ;

U2, Lizzy or Cranberries (Zombie)

Or if we can steal someone else's then it has to be the Marseillaise.

[Thunderblaster]

Chumbawamba by Tubthumping!!!

[inexile]

the french national anthem, la marseilleise (sp) i love it

[tetsujin1979]

Shipping up to Boston would be pretty cool
Killing in the Name Of. Who's going to fcuk with a country who has that as an anthem?? Noone, that's who!

[Stevo Da Gull]

Out of actual national anthems the German and Italian one's are good.
Out of other songs... Go West by the Pet Shop Boys or Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby
