National Anthem Nomination Thread

Nubclear · July 26, 2002, 19:59

Quite a few weeks ago, we tried deciding on an anthem. Well, I posted a poll and it went quite well...until the last day. On that day, no-anthem people voted for no anthem, and were stuck without an anthem.

Because of our recent victories over the evil Americans, I feel that we need a national anthem! We cannot raise our flag and not sing, as that does not inspire our troops!!!

So, now is the time to nomiate songs and lyrics that we wish to become the national anthem of the great Apolytonian Empire!!!!

I nominate the sound of the Chinese, Soviet, Egyptian, and North Korean anthems!

of course.

Spiffor · July 26, 2002, 20:07

I nominate Ode to Joy. It can either be brutal or soft, depending on how you play it, and it's alayws a triumphant anthem !

The Soviet Union lyrics (the only ones worthy enough to be posted

btw, this is the early stalin version).....

United Forever in friendship and Labor
Our mighty Republics will ever endure
The great Soviet Union will live through the Ages
The dream of a people, their fortress secure!

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand
Long live our people, united and free!
Strong in a friendship tried by fire
Long may our crimson flag inspire
Shining in glory for all men to see

Through days dark and stormy
While great Lenin lead us
Our eyes saw the bright sun of freedom of all
And Stalin our leader with faith in the people
Inspired us to build up the land that we love!

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand
Long live our people, united and free!
Strong in a friendship tried by fire
Long may our crimson flag inspire
Shining in glory for all men to see

We fought for the future,
Destroyed the Invader
And brought to our homeland the laurels of fame
Our glory will live in the memory of nations
And all generations will honor her name

Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand
Long live our people, united and free!
Strong in a friendship tried by fire
Long may our crimson flag inspire
Shining in glory for all men to see

Soviet Anthem, all the way. It's widely recognized as the best national anthem of the 20th century.

Here are some revised lyrics:

United forever in friendship and labor
Our mighty Republic will ever endure
The great wise Banana will live through the Ages
The protector of a people, their fortress secure!

Long live our ‘Poly Motherland
Built by the peoples mighty hand
Long live our people, united and free!
Strong in a friendship tried by fire
Long may our sacred polls inspire
Shining in glory for all men to see

Through days dark and stormy
While great Ninot leads us
Our eyes see the bright sun of freedom for all
And Trip our great leader with faith in the people
Inspired us to build up the land that we love!

Long live our ‘Poly Motherland
Built by the peoples mighty hand
Long live our people, united and free!
Strong in a friendship tried by fire
Long may our sacred polls inspire
Shining in glory for all men to see

We fought for the future,
Destroyed the defender
And brought to our homeland the laurels of fame
Our glory will live in the memory of nations
And all generations will honor our name

Long live our ‘Poly Motherland
Built by the peoples mighty hand
Long live our people, united and free!
Strong in a friendship tried by fire
Long may our sacred polls inspire
Shining in glory for all men to see

*sheds a tear*

timeline, ive never heard anything so beautiful...

i love those lyrics

Aro · July 26, 2002, 21:28

Mr. Tassadar and Mr Timeline:
I have just heard it. It is very beautiful! Moved me a lot. I'm from a third world country, you know… And the lyrics are great, make us proud!

Note:
Err… maybe our Futures Leaders want to make some changes, in especial adding some new Great Names… Who knows? ( kidding, just kidding...)

It's a feeling, THIS is our Anthem.

GodKing · July 26, 2002, 21:30

timeline,
so beautiful,
like the moonlight over skywalkers banana plantation in october,
like the day uber killed the vicious spyder daemon with his bare hands,
like the day......

oh, what the hell, sounds cool.

Kramerman · July 26, 2002, 23:22

Im sorry to be different, but I must nominate "Welcome to the Jungle" by the band, i believe but i may be mistaking, G&R.

Its a great hard rock song, for those who aren't familiar. I just thought of it cause, if i were on the front line in the battle, I would of been to the American soldiers like, 'welcome to the jungle, b1tch!" as i thrust my sword into their chest.

In the next few days i'll see if i can post some lyrics, i have the song, but i dunno what their saying. Its like, "welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games" and then something.

Kramerman · July 26, 2002, 23:25

timelines revised lyrics ar good. But i just like the music to the soviet anthem. Ever see the "hunt for the red october"? or "Rocky IV"?

Kman

Epistax · July 26, 2002, 23:27

lol I nominate EYE OF THE TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kramerman · July 26, 2002, 23:32

Its a good song, but i dunno about a national anthem.

Epistax · July 26, 2002, 23:36

how about our war song?

or our golden age song?

how about our 'aw hell I wanna get pumped up' song?

Epistax · July 26, 2002, 23:44

thunderstruck, same reasons

Ninot · July 27, 2002, 00:00

i insist on a showtoon!

lol
good suggestions by all
i like Timelines

Kuciwalker · July 27, 2002, 09:37

I love Timeline's. Just one thing - our flag isn't crimson

. Unless you're talking about our war flag, that is.

Oh, and also, lines 3 and 5 in verse 2 don't rhyme.

rendelnep · July 27, 2002, 10:12

Um quick point the Soviet anthem works but one pointer our flag I believe is not in fact crimson it more of mixture of mainly teal and white-May I suggest we ammend the lyrics to fit this.

Timeline · July 27, 2002, 10:39

yep i know, been working on it.

Edit, check it now.

They're not supposed to.

Will 5001 · July 27, 2002, 14:56

Thats got my vote (if it ever came to it), but I have to see how the words fit into the song, I'll just check that!!

Inverse Icarus · July 27, 2002, 15:58

germany, germany, germany.

old school germany, not this new age PC "we're really nto better than you anymore, we swear" germany.

chanegd all instances of germany to Apolytonia, and some other changes around.

Apolytonia, Apolytonia over all
Over all the world
When Apolytonia unites fraternally
In protection and defiance
From the Notylopa Jungle to the Ivory Coast,
From the Valhalla Moutains to Uber Isle
Apolytonia , Apolytonia over all
Over all the world.
Apolytonian women, Apolytonian faithfulness,
Apolytonian dyes, and Apolytonian song
Should retain their beautiful old sounds
In the world
And motivate us to noble deeds
Our whole life long.
Apolytonian women, Apolytonian faithfulness,
Apolytonian dyes, and Apolytonian song!
Unity, rights, and freedom
For the Apolytonian fatherland!
That is what we shall all strive for,
as brothers we are, with heart and hand.
Unity, rights, and freedom
Are our guarantee of happiness.
In the sunshine of this triad,
Thrive, our Apolytonian Fatherland.

how come germany is the only country with a penis?

Inverse Icarus · July 27, 2002, 16:15

My third post in this thread contains the words "Soviet Union". Click that.

danke

badman · July 28, 2002, 13:53

I didn't know that the soviet anthem is so famous. I've never heard of it before.
But i really like the ode to joy, that is my favourite

Kloreep · July 28, 2002, 17:35

My favorite of the nominees is ode to joy too.

Though I guess I really should listen to the soviet anthem before deciding, since I don't know the tune.

Kramerman · July 28, 2002, 17:55

i downloaded the soviet anthem shortly after i saw 'the hunt for red october' a couple of years ago. I like it alot, even though it was in russian. i dont really listen to lyrics anyway, just the music. The song, with like marching soldiers and parading tanks and tactical missiles, can really send chills down your spine. However, i must stick to my nomination of 'Welcome to the Jungle', which i have confirmed to be by G&R.
