Tommy Cooper was from Swansea which the last time I looked was in Wales. The national anthem is actually a hymn which as sung when Bonnie Prince Charlie looked as though he was going to win. If you go to an England rugby match you will hear Swing Low Sweet Chariot, in Wales it is Land ofmyFathers and Scotland has Flowers of the Field so I thin Jerusalem is a beeter option as Land of Hope and Glory could also cover all of Britain
The National Anthem.

Or any mention of our resident parasites.
I thought I knew all the verses of the National Anthem but I can't seem to recall the verse that mentions bigdownunder.
he is a clever dick
our own resident prick
our big-down-under
he is such a silly ****
his humour is so blunt
the queen would like to **** the runt
our not so big down under
It's time we had an original English national anthem, without all the quasi religious clap trap.

This. (I cannot give you rep for it as I appear to have repped you too recently or something... you obviously talk a lot of sense
)
I would rather not have the Skunks anthem thanks Syd.
I would have given Diana one, the rest need to get jobs.
Ok, this is a bit of a tangent, but am I the only one who gets narked when an England player doesn't sing the anthem? It's like I have an instant dislike of the player if I don't see them sing at the lineup!
Rooney is the usual culprit, but noticed Young didn't bother the other night either. I'd be like that North Korean (ex-Japanese) lad in the World Cup if I were in the lineup!

Had another thought, how about a Queen song?
Keeps the royalists happy and everyone would singalong even the oppos.
"We are the Champions" anyone?

OK, I've given this some thought. I actually started composing something, then it occurred to me that I can't write music, so I scrunched up the paper and threw it away.
Quite a few years ago, long before you were even a twinkle, I went to see a Billy Connolly gig. One of his cracks was about the National Anthem, and how "dirgey" it is. His suggestion was the theme tune from The Archers. See if you can't come up with something uplifting and patriotic, then it can be another track on your album.
If you don't know how it goes, I'm sure an "old" person can help!
When Jersey was deciding on a national anthem a few years back, we chose some crappy song called 'Jersey, gem of the Sea'. But this was put forward by a man I can only describe as a absolute hero; Hedley le Maistre!

I had seen Connolly up Scotland before he made his breakthrough on Parky.
Only time I have had to get up to go to the toilet during a live performance as I was literally pissing myself.
The afore mentioned Archers clip.
