Say what we want about the National Anthem, it isn't as bad as Canada's.

 

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

what so bad about that?  I rather like it.

I agree.  I have always liked the Canadian national anthem.

What about Rule Britannia?

Lovely tune but the title sends out mixed messages, other than Britain, Britain should rule nobody.  The anthem is intended to be more about the then British mastery of the sea

Exactly!  Bingowings put it perfectly.
