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!
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?

You can't spell failure without FAI
bit of goats don't shave, hills of donegal!!!!!!!!!!!! that would get the place livened up!!
Havin a weekend away is quite frankly,lettin ur team mates down!
Rolf Harris - Two Little Boys. It would confuse so many people, in particular it would confuse Rolf Harris
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.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
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.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
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.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

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

the french national anthem, la marseilleise (sp) i love it
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
Or we could go really Irish and have.......Léim thart (Des Bishop)
Jump Around?
Léim, léim,léim, chuile duine Léim,léim,leim gach duine léim léim léim....
Germany's is based on one written by Joseph Haydn. I remember having a neighbour called Joe Hayden in my youth. Clearly it is an Irish name, so should we not claim back that anthem as one of our own?Out of actual national anthems the German and Italian one's are good.
