Why did you use a picture of a singer as a link to an instrumental version...? 
And no mention of "Casablanca"? I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

You're right... 
I don't know how I missed that... 
My bad.

Still, it's much more fun to sing than the British National Anthem. Not that I'm not patriotic, mind. It's just most other countries seem to have much more uplifting tunes - France, America - quite like the German one too (though most of my friends would be shocked I said that.....5-1 hehehe....)

Though I love the couplet about the enemies of the country in the second verse of the British Nat Am:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
Pleasingly, the if you enter 'British National Anthem words' into google the first thing you get is: A798195. How about a couple of mutual links?

Good to see Casblanca is in there, but I picked a nit about descibing Laslo as a Frenchman. He was a Hungarian. F94703?thread=213386
Well done Spiff.
