What should it be, Sup Forums?
(For the benefit of Johnny Foreigners: We don't actually have one, only the British anthem)
My vote is for Jerusalem. The most epic fucking hymn you've ever heard in your entire life:
England's National Anthem

I agree, Jerusalem's lyrics are actually about England, it even sounds English.

It's so ironic that the brits use the melody to God Save the Queen to express their love for a monarch. Us freedom lovers use it to honor our freedoms.

It should always be God Save the King/Queen. The other countries in the UK are basically irrelevant let them have their pointless meme anthems
Thomas James
Jerusalem makes me well-up with tears, it gives me this strange hope and love for our Anglo overlords
I Vow To Thee and others are great but Jerusalem is god-tier

And it's ironic that your national anthem is an ENGLISH tune written by an ENGLISHMAN.

Written by a guy called John Stafford Smith, who was English :^)

I can't believe no one's said Land of Hope and Glory yet so I will mention that too
I am now coming round to this instead of Jerusalem actually. I dunno, it's very close for me.
If we did use it though it would have to be the good bit at 4:30

>what is the saxon wyvern
Why does it have 4 legs?
Also that soundtrack would be more fitting for vikings invaders than anglo-saxons

I'm think we adopt a bit more a modern English anthem

Land of Hope and Glory.
I went to the Ricky Hatton homecoming fight in Manchester in 2008, after he lost to Mayweather, and Russell Watson sung it before he came to the ring.
Genuinely gave me goosebumps.
It was incredibly. Has to be our national anthem.

>Why does it have 4 legs?
Because what he's posted is actually a Welsh dragon. Normally it's red on the Welsh flag. With a white and green background.
I have no idea why someone made a shitty approximation of the Anglo-Saxon flag with the wrong dragon.
This obviously is what he should have posted.
Charles Foster
>implying Dark Age Saxons cared how many legs their dragons had
the idea that dragons and wyverns are separate things are largely a creation of modern fantasy culture, based on some rather vague guidelines that formed around the 16th century for the purposes of heraldry and weren't commonly used outside that. Prior to modern fantasy coming along, 'wyvern', 'wyrm', 'drake', etc, etc were all simply synonyms for dragon. The fact that the dragon pictured on the Bayeux Tapestry with two legs doesn't really mean anything since the different versions of dragon were interchangeable.
Also, the entire point of the white dragon is that it's supposed to be the Saxon counterpart to the red dragon of the Britons.
Easton Wood
Incredible*
And he sang the anthem while the fighters were in the ring as the video shows, didn't quite remember it correctly.
But it was a spine tingling rendition, should definitely be our national anthem.
Colton Thomas
Jerusalem or Land of Hope and Glory are both god tier. Both would be far better sung at the footie than GSTQ.
Dylan Davis
Jerusalem for sure because it does more than one job at the same time.
>Epic and beautiful tune
>Broadly speaking, promotes the Established Church
> Poem written by Blake who represents another sort of cool eccentric mystical Englishness.
Liam Jackson
Fair enough I don't really know much, I just noticed your flag just had the exact same dragon design as the Welsh flag
Joseph Howard
>exact same dragon
yep. As I said, the entire point of the English dragon was that it was supposed to be the mirror of the Welsh dragon. The legends all revolve around the two dragons fighting each other - symbolising the conflict between the Saxons and the Britons. So, identical design but a different colour.
Sebastian Lopez
You guys should do an england's got talent competition for the anthem. I'd watch it.
