National Anthems, Patriotism, etc

In my grade school, we said the Pledge of Allegiance, then sang My Country 'Tis of Thee every morning before class. My Country 'Tis of Thee is, of course, to the same tune as God Save the Queen. Far easier to sing, and far less martial than the Star Spangled Banner. Whoever picked that one, bah!

I think all national anthems are pretty horrible. Although I do like the Russian one in The Hunt for Red October.
