Jay should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I don't think my saying the American national anthem is a horrible song should be taken the wrong way, I mean the song, not the country. It's an old drinking song with words that are anything but grammatical and barely make sense. The Canadian Anthem isn't much better, and is certainly more boring. There was another song, "The Maple Leaf Forever", which is much much nicer than O Canada, but it had one line in it that offended Quebec, so of course that made it no good...

Good Anthems? Germany and China both have lovely anthems. Wish I could understand all the words...
