I can't stand the British National anthem (Land Of Hope And Glory is much more sing-a-longable and it hasn't got that naughty verse about the Scots).
I also think England should get it's own National Anthem (all the other UK Countries have them), Jerusalem ( a song about not resting on imaginary laurels).
Land of Hope and Glory should be England's national anthem, not that of the UK, as it was written by Elgar, whose music, for me, embodies England. I agree that God Save the Queen is awful.
America the Beautiful is far better than The Star-Spangled Banner too, so I'm with TheBoost on that one.
I see nothing wrong with God Save The Queen or The Star-Spangled Banner. They've been the National Anthems of both countries for years. I say let it stay that way.
what is this naughty verse about the Scots?
