A good alternative for the USA Anthem is either 50 Cent or Eminem. Would be funny if God Save The Queen was performed by The Prodigy!! Shakira must perform the Colombian Anthem in bikini wear only!!

Dont really c ur point bout van or SLF not bein interested a few members of SLF were known to be seen at NI games. Why would you worry so much about us anyway you should be worrying about your own country surely Your back must be sore with the size of that chip on your shoulder.
But why bother the whole point of the thread was for a bit of craic. Not everything has to be so seriously thought of lad,relax a bit.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

National Anthem for Northern Ireland? What about Alternative Ulster?
as regards Luxembourg, Baccara only represented them in Eurovision. The girls were in fact Espanol !
Finland-Lordi!
Indeed...........
Liechtenstein's anthem has the same air as the English God Save the Queen.
Completely Different Lyrics in German of course.
A Church of England Hymn( don't know the name) has the same air as Deutschland Liedt and of course was banned during World Wars I and II!
Best one i have heard yet is apres matchs version of god save the queen done in Irish. Classic
