Even Amerika sounds better
I can’t say this shit in work, so I’m gonna say it here.
Obsequious, servile and craven bootlicking anthem. Honestly not inappropriate for the UKkk.
Abolish the monarchy, dissolve the UK, and unite Ireland, all so that we won’t have to hear “God Save The King” again. Only “Flower of Scotland”, “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau”, “Amhrán na bhFiann”, and “Jerusalem”, all of which are a million times better.
Now even without the UK, the same melody is also used by the national anthem of Liechtenstein. This being the case, I say Liechtenstein should get annexed by Switzerland, purely so that no-one will need to be reminded that the UK ever existed.
Tax haven with a monarchy, yeah, that’s reason enough. The Landtag has 25 seats and four parties: three of these, representing 22 seats, are slight variants of right-wing populist + liberal conservative + Christian democrat + monarchist. The remaining three seats belong to a social democratic party describing itself as green, secular, and multicultural… Which is, you guessed it, also monarchist.
There are also two parties in Liechtenstein without representation in the Landtag, one of which is yet another chud party, and the other of which is a more or less single-issue party against vaccines and COVID-19 lockdowns. And this is not to get into the defunct parties of Liechtenstein!
All in all, I think this says something about the Overton window of Liechtenstein. Like, Switzerland strikes me as also pretty shitty, but at least Switzerland is a real country, at least it has a communist party at all, and at least it has a sizeable “parliamentary left” that doesn’t support a monarchy.
i think it’s funny that the monarch dies and they just change the pronouns even tho the song is about the monarch not dying
(British voice) The Woke Pronoun Virus requires us to no longer say “Her Majesty”.
Serbia is a close second, in my opinion. It’s just a simpler version of The Emperors hymn by Haydn, with lyrics that consist of begging god to save the country. The fact that it replaced the old anthem (Hey, Slavs) irritates me to no end. We used to be a country
Honestly “Bože Pravde” would be like a middle tier anthem like Hungary’s, if it weren’t for the context of the fall of Yugoslavia. That context alone makes Serbia’s anthem bottom tier.
I don’t have an exact ranking of bad national anthems, but I’ve always found Norway’s anthem to be profoundly tedious and bottom tier. The only thing Norway’s anthem is good for is letting me subvert the opening line by saying “No, we hate this country as it falls down”, but as an anthem there’s just better choices out there, and there’s better anthems in the Nordic countries. Like even Denmark’s “King Christian Stood By Lofty Mast”, for as much as it pains me to award points to a song praising a monarch, at least that anthem is the only national anthem in the world to include the word “brain” in its lyrics.
Ooof, as much as I like the tune, having a song that most people associate with German Patriotism is a massive self dunk.
Interestingly enough, people mostly don’t associate it with the Germans. The majority of people here don’t know about the fact. I’d doubt it would get any love if that was the case.
If anything, it’s very fitting that we have knock-off German anthem in this era where we don’t have any sovereignty.

You mean The Anacreontic Song?
