The national anthem of Biafra was Sibelius's 'Finlandia'. Strange, but true.

The Israeli national anthem is blatantly snaffled from Sibelius, too.

I liked the various Bill Bailey suggestions on the national anthem. I also liked his La Marseillaise frnech police siren.

In tinselworm his suggestion is we go the Pink Panther tune as that'd make our athletes look dead cool when going onto the field at the olympics. Especially if they move in time with the music smiley - winkeye

smiley - biggrin I've just discovered that the national anthem of Vanuatu is called 'Yumi Yumi Yumi'.

Unfortunately it's not, as I'd first hoped, the No.1 smash hit for Ohio Express...but even so!
