Yes, the old USSR anthem was epic.

We need something like this, well if getting a new one

Pink Panther Theme Tune. We could be the cool country.

Kudos to Bill Bailey.

I've no sound in work so I'm assuming it's the right song playing in the background.

"La Marseillaise"

Don't actually see how it would apply to this country but it's much nicer to listen to and more uplifting.

"Highway to Hell"

The fields of Athenry, the greatest Irish song ever and a contender for the greatest song ever. Far better then our very dull n anthem!

... can't go wrong with this for an anthem.

Not patriotic at all, but I particularly like the Anthem of the European Union.

Beethoven's 9th, possibly the greatest piece of music ever written.

If we were to scrap Amhrán na bhFiann altogether, what song would be an apt replacement for a new national anthem?

What's wrong with Amhran na bhFiann?

If anything should be scrapped it should Ireland's Call. It's an ok song but it doesn't really serve a purpose imo.

"Help" by the Beatles. Quite apt for the times we live in, imo.

(To justify using a non-Irish band, Paul McCartney and Lennon both had Irish ancestry. That counts for something, surely).

Heard too many pissed up old men singing it into thier pint glasses at chucking out time, when I was a barmaid. I have heard that song being murdered more times than I care to remember.
