I think we should have 'Wannabe' by the Spice Girls.

Correct. And it needs to be upgraded to the national anthem as soon as Liz departs. Almost like a shirt number being retired for a club legend. What are Satanic mills? often wondered, Quite a complicated tune for an anthem. I think the second verse maybe it is would be a good anthem. The one re chariots of gold etc. Gay sex dungeons

Jerusalem is a posh boys school anthem. Stick to God Save The Queen.

This would be my choice if we were to change the national anthem.

We need a longer anthem. Or to sing the missing verses. Other countries anthems are a proper effort but ours seems to be over in a flash. To be fairthere isn't an English anthem but should be I've been saying this for years. When England (as opposed to a GB team in the Olympics, for example) are playing any sport, there should be an English anthem. This is so blindingly obvious I am surprised it hasn't happened years ago. "Jerusalem" is an obvious contender as it actually mentions England. Personally, I prefer "I vow to thee my country" but I'd go along with anything that has wide approval. If I were the Prime Minister I would set up a panel of the great and the good to nominate 6 tunes and then have an online referendum (Strictly Come Dancing style) of everyone on the English electoral role to choose the winner. And I'd announce the date of the referendum well in advance and limit the time to vote to 12 hours - one vote per person only. Sorted!

Only one song should be the English national anthem, and that is land of hope and glory

Good Save The Queen is for Britain not England. (And it's absolutely awful anyway)! It's a farce that England's National Anthem is this. (It's the same as saying, Britain = England ... which in reality is what it is fast becoming)! Out of all the suggestions, World In Motion is the best one, ... but only if it had the slightest ring of truth to it - which it doesn't!

We could have the Joe 90 theme tune, and the players could do a little Mod twist on the stop. And the melody is totally de de de de de de de a-long able to, too.

Out of all the suggestions, World In Motion is the best one Or this 👆 You can imagine it now...stadium anounncer says "And now, please stand for the national anthem..." Russel Watson stands alone in the centre circle as the crowd fall silent in anticipation. The renowned opera singer clears his throat and brings the mic up to his face... "NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, VERY NAUGHTY...B'WAH HA HA HA HA!"

Correct. And it needs to be upgraded to the national anthem as soon as Liz departs. Almost like a shirt number being retired for a club legend. What are Satanic mills? often wondered, Quite a complicated tune for an anthem. I think the second verse maybe it is would be a good anthem. The one re chariots of gold etc. William Blake, the author of the poem, was critical of the effects and conditions of industrialisation on the working classes, hence the mills are “Satanic”. Thus, one reading might be, to “build Jerusalem” is to build a better England. An upbeat version of it, like the Fat Les one, would work perfectly in my opinion.

What a load of bollocks, the words to that Jerusalem don’t make sense. All the private schools singing it to each other while they’re having a mess. It’s like the the working class voting for the Tories

It’s like the the working class voting for the Tories I think the words, the meaning of it makes sense. Perhaps, however, it doesn’t make sense when the song is sung by people who perpetuate privilege and oppression. You only need to read another of Blake’s poems, like “London” for example, to understand that he is as critiquing a society based on exploitation.

Tucker , Gripper and Zammo doing the chorus Or Just say no could be replaced with 'Eng ger land' "You don't have to act like a great big staarrr..." Quite appropriate for our lot. I like it. Roland up front in place of Kane. Mint.
