I'm not that fond of ours either.  It's too hard to sing, for one thing.

We had 'God Save The Queen' up until the 70s or 80s. The they changed it to 'Advance Austrlia Fair', which is equally as bad. But of course an anthem isn't meant to be a popular song, such as Waltzing Matilda (people still sing the wrong tune, believe it or not) which explains why it didn't get voted in.

It could have been worse, we all could have been singing

Deutschland Deutschland
Uber alles.

Yeah, the united states' anthem is to the tune of an old British drinking song.  It's not meant to be sung or listened to while sober or American.

Didn't know that one. It could however explain why some of it sounds mumbled during those big events.

There was an attempt to get lyrics to the Spanish anthem in 2007. But the chosen text was rejected in the end.
