Zingari Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 1 Land of Hope and Glory 2 Jerusalem 3 Rule Britannia ( maybe change the words a bit but the tune is brilliant)
I am Rod Hull Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 1 Land of Hope and Glory 2 Jerusalem 3 Rule Britannia ( maybe change the words a bit but the tune is brilliant) The words are perfect.
Zingari Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 The words are perfect. We may agree they are on the quiet but i was trying to be diplomatic
I am Rod Hull Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 We may agree they are on the quiet but i was trying to be diplomatic Diplomacy gets a good kicking from me when I hear it played
Zingari Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 Diplomacy gets a good kicking from me when I hear it played In truth I reckon most of us feel the same way edit; it's good to see Meatloaf getting stuck into it in this vid too

Zingari Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 I prefer Miranda Hart. What would you choose, Ken? probably a fookin haiku edit; i reckon that blokes trousers are too tight for him !
EnderbyFox Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 Land of Hope and Glory or Jerusalem, love them Just find GSTQ so boring.
Guest Col city fan Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 I'm not voting.. I've had enough of polls since mine were considered shite... The National Anthem should be 'A bitter sweet symphony' by the Verve. Easy....
Leicesterpool Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 how about "We hate scotland, we hate wales who the **** are the republic of ireland!"
21st Century Fox Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 how about "We hate scotland, we hate wales who the **** are the republic of ireland!" Nah.
fleckneymike Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 Do the people who say Jerusalem actually understand the poem from which it came?
Zingari Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 Do the people who say Jerusalem actually understand the poem from which it came? There are that many question marks in the poem itself to suggest the answer to that can be manifold, It seems that it's is actually meant to sort of esoteric or many faceted , or whatever the correct terminology is A bit like David Bowie songs in the 70's You seem to be posting on here a lot more often these days Mike, is the roof closed again? ( it is you that is one of the prominent roofers isn't it ?) good to have you about anyway
Captain... Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 I hate god save the queen for 2 reasons, the words and the tune apart from that it's fine. The tune is dull and normally comes off as a bit of a drone, but they have jazzed it up a bit for the Olympics it is not such a dirge, but it is still the same as Liechtenstein's. The other problem is the word's to an atheist republican (as in anti royal not US politics) it is very hard to sing along to. "Dear fictitious made up deity, please protect the very emblem of everything I disagree with about elitism and privilege. Please make sure she stays alive and drains our taxes for as long as possible. Keep this undemocratic institution ruling this country without lifting a finger for a long time. God save the queen" I like Jerusalem as a tune, but the lyrical content is a bit too imaginary friend centric, rule Britannia is a bit too colonial and kind of irrelevant these days. So land of hope and glory gets my vote for now. But I would be happier with a new anthem... ...As long as it is not voted for by text votes and a judging panel of Simon Cowell, king Willy, David Cameron and Jeremy Kyle.

( it is you that is one of the prominent roofers isn't it ?) good to have you about anyway The man was a mentalist and the poem "And did those feet..." is not one I'd personally view as being either one of his best or particularly patriotic as essentially it's broken Britain put to song. The tune is a ****ing dirge too and I doubt Blake would have been too happy at it being used in the way it was during the great war. I am in no way a prominent Roofer. As far as I am aware the Roof (both evil and fluffy) are in perfect working order.
Corky Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 how about "We hate scotland, we hate wales who the **** are the republic of ireland!" No, because that doesn't scan.

You forgot Andrew Lloyd Webber, he'd definitely be involved

I could be the reincarnation of him.
Zingari Posted 6 August 2012 Posted 6 August 2012 Did he die around 1981 by any chance? I could be the reincarnation of him. I'm not sure when or if he's died ( but i would imagine he'd be around 110 years old if he were still around ) He played the violin too and had a similar dead pan humour as Jack Benny ( who probably doesn't mean much to you either) Do you also share these traits ? He also had a very pronounced limp and dressed like a geography teacher , but i doubt that this would be passed on either genetically or by any form of reincarnation.

Yes that is pretty much me to a tee, except the age, I'm not 110.
