    Cheers Frenchie. Whilst on the subject of national anthems - which European national anthem is acrostic ? ie. the first letters of each verse spell out a name when put together.

    Over to you BB. <applause> Take the first letter of each verse and place them in a row and it spells out Willem Van Nassov (William of Nassau). Normally only the first and sixth verse are sung at official events - otherwise football teams would go to sleep <laugh> It's also the oldest national anthem (from 1572).

    YouTube says it had to rebuild its counter after South Korean singer Psy's Gangnam Style video exceeded the viewing limit of 2147483647.?

    On the right track, but not quite what I'm looking for. It certainly has something to do with the number of views though...

    Its dance was attempted by political leaders such as British Prime Minister David Cameron, U.S. President Barack Obama, and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who hailed it as a force for world peace.[10] On May 7, 2013, at a bilateral meeting with South Korea's President Park Geun-hye at the White House, Obama cited the success of "Gangnam Style" as an example of how people around the world are being "swept up" by the Korean Wave of culture. ???

    Or simply the most watched ever????
