#4 it coulda been "Deutchland Uber Alles"...

Slightly reminiscent of the good news/bad news joke about German reunification:

The good news: Recently reunited Germany has selected its new capital.

The bad news: It's Paris.

#5 With the number of counties as members of the EU, it's a small wonder that anyone could remember the anthem for their respective countries. Sheesh..!!

#6 it's a small wonder that anyone could remember the anthem for their respective countries.

In an attempt to solve this nettlesome issue the European Union is adopting a single song to serve instead. Word has it that they have unanimously chosen The Internationale.

#7 Not funy; recently went to a Rodeo and the singer forgot the Star-Spangled Banner. She left the stage a mortified weeping wreck.

#8 I was poking around someplace on the web recently and was treated to a fine discussion between two kooks who debated why they play the 1812 Overture on the Fourth of July because, as we all know, it's the Russsian national anthem...

#9 It is, actually. Or rather, the last rich anthem is the tune to God Save the Tsar, which was the Russian national anthem until the revolution.
