Whiny. IMO the best one is the old Soviet anthem - now, with different words, the Russian one.

The "ROCK" version isn't bad.

I quite like the Bulgarian one:


Proud Balkan Mountains,
next to them the Danube sparkles,
the sun shines over Thrace,
and blazes over Pirin.

Refrain: (twice)
Dear Motherland,
you are heaven on earth,
your beauty, your loveliness,
ah, they are boundless.

That was pretty good. I'd add France and South Africa as well.

Oh, and the European Union - but that's cheating, really. 🙂

Call me biased if you like, i like Flower of Scotland,

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

commemorating the victory of Robert Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn, 1314, over Edward the II who came to enslave us.

Every time you walk through a thistle patch, wearing nowt below but your (English-invented!) kilt.

FlhOWHOWr of SchOHOHtlnd... blech. With bagpipes... blech exponential. There are some much better Scots songs. I couldn't name one on the spot, but I've heard some.

what this Sassenach talk, perhaps you would like to visit the field of Bannochburn, it has the largest concentration of Englishmen anywhere is Scotland, and they are all six feet under the ground! For your information, a plaid is the proper attire for lancing Dutchmen through the gentiles with ones claymore! (deliberate pun intended)

Shouldn't it be the Worst National Anthem?
Seriously, they all suck, but in my opinion the Australian one sucks the worst. Words and music.

The Catalan anthem, Bon cop de falc, is the best.

Yawn, another "call to arms" anthem.

It's about the music.

Of course anthems praising the mountains of the Motherland are so much more interesting than calls to arms.
