england's is surprisingly good
it's called god save the king, it's quite catchy and has a rousing chorus whuich truly captures the zeitgeist of the people. america copied it for their national anthem before they changed it to the star spannered banner. ditto norway, hawaii, germany, liechtenstein, imperial russia and switzerland who all used the tune at one point as thier national anthems. and yes, hawaii used to be a sovereign nation.
and don't forget that it is customary to stand during our national anthem if you are able to do so, so make sure you do next time england rock up at the euros. show some respect.
