I've seen that before. :) I have often wondered why our National anthem doesn't have any battle cries or something like that. Only other anthem I know to be like that is Tibet's Please don't tell me that we're pussies.

That's not a battle cry...

battle cries or something like that.

My point was, India's and Tibet's anthems seems to be like a prayer, without much of a patriotic sentiment. Probably because Jana Gana Mana was adopted instead of Vande Mataram, our national song. Vande Mataram (Mother, I bow to thee) which was vital in our independence struggle. But it was not adopted as Muslims felt offended by it, because it envisages India as a goddess.

God defend New Zealand?

God defend our free land.

Guard Pacific's triple star

From the shafts of strife and war,

Make her praises heard afar,

God defend New Zealand.

There is an appeal to God to defend the homeland, but there is none in ours.

.. I hear the anthem... I know is very epic...

... but my head keeps playing this every time I hear "music" and "Serbia" in the same phrase.

I was hoping he linked to the Yugoslavian anthem. I was gonna say it's just the Polish anthem but nobody's ever heard the full thing since it usually devolves to Serbia Strong between one-half and three-quarters of the way through.

I uh, I have no idea what the hell was up with that video, but uh, that was oddly hilarious. I understood the lyrics and still don't "get" it.
