Default National Anthems
Just out of interest, who knows the words to their national anthem? Make sure you click in the correct category. There is USA and the rest of the world. I chose to divide them into these two categories so our American friends will feel at home.

You have to know the majority of words to click yes. It's the law.

I know, I know.

Oi maamme Suomi synnyinmaa
Soi sana kultainen
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa
Ei vettä, rantaa rakkaampaa
Kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen
Maa kallis isien

and there´s more...

Those of you who watch F1 must have heard the melody, ain´t it beautiful?

Hey, choc - shame on you
Do you at least know the old one? You know the "auferstanden aus Ruinen" one? I can't imagine you could forget it

BTW don't they usually only sing the first stanza?

See, you know it Hey, we're Ossis, do we really have to know every word of the other anthem? Anyway the actual one sounds f******.
-> "Lasst uns dir zum Guten dienen, Deutschland, einig Vaterland"
sounds much better than "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" don't you think?
