Our national anthem is great. What would you prefer Ireland's Call?

rockmongrel

Seriously?

Oh, now I get it. It's a bad joke.:rolleyes:

There are people who genuinely want a new anthem though.

Why not? It's a load of sh1te and we could have a say on it.

I bet you think you're a funny f**ker; dont you.

Our Government is sh!te. Yes, we all know it. We dont need one hundred and one different threads pointing this out. Get over it.

Ireland's Call is alright for school kids to sing at international rugby matches but it's worthy of no more. As for Amhran na bhFiann, aside from what it's about, the tune is the third best anthem around (after Italy and France).

See this article and in particular reference #23. I personally haven't an objection to singing "We are Soldiers of Destiny", it means precious little to me. It would be much worse if the first lines of the anthem stipulated the creed or race of those deemed worthy of singing it.


My two cents:
"Sinne fookin brokened"

I'd suggest we approach the UK, tell them this whole republic thing was just a joke that got a bit out of hand and sorry for the trouble etc.

This would be on the proviso that we agree to a mutually acceptable anthem which crow-bars in a Fcuk reference.

How about this with the title/lyrics tinkered with...

Kind of hilarious how angry many people are at the suggestion of a change.
Where did the over the top loyalty to a sh1t song come from? Is it a GAA thing?

I agree but maybe just change the offending words would do..

Yeah, but she's only famous when she's Hannah Montana. When she's wearing the wig.

But it's really not a **** song, it's actually quite good and I'm as unnationalist as they come in saying that. Musically, it definitely does the job.

OP needs a new brain.

It's not about Miley, it's about a new tune that represents all of us.

Party in the R.O.I!

We dont need a new anthem, I love our anthem but the words should be officially changed to Sinne Laochra Fail.

It's not the worst tune I've ever heard but the lyrics are lolbad.
Time for something new imo.

I can just imagine John Hayes crying as he sings it before a match.

You do know that line is not in reference to the political party. :rolleyes: What are they teaching in schools these days. That anthem was originally in English and read "Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland" Where is that shambles of a political party mentioned in that?

I'd be happy if we could steal the Italian one, but other than that I can't see someone coming up with something that we can be proud of and enjoy singing. Or pretending to sing.

...na na na na na na na, Seo libh canaig amhrán na bhFiann. Ahhhh. *Fog horns*
