I don't know what country would have it work best. But man...that's anthem material right there!
I veto that idea, and ate all the pies.

But Stompa that music is for militaristic, right wing, Thatcher loving, flag flying, Churchill remembering, politically incorrect, hawkish, reactionaries. I love it, but why do you?
Bollocks
That music is for militaristic, left wing, Lenin loving, flag flying, Marx remembering, politically very correct (because we will dictate the new morality), hawkish, revolutionaries.
And that's why I love it.
I'm glad you do to, comrade-brother Orlanth.

Australia (Recently ravaged by the Hive Fleet Ginger Overlord)
On a more serious note, Waltzing Matilda. In 1901 it received something 1/4 or so of votes to choose the national anthem, only just behind God save the King and Australia Fair.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.
