The national anthem for the United Kingdom, God Save The Queen (King), and the patriotic song, America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee), are set to the same melody. In 1745, the British composer, Thomas Arne (1710-1778), arranged what would become the official British national anthem. Samuel Francis Smith (1808-1895) wrote the America text in 1832

The annoying thing about hymns (as a potential national anthem) is that they are always written in a key which requires you (if you're female) to sing soprano. I'm somewhere between contralto and mezzo. If I try to sing soprano, it hurts and I end up having a yawning fit.

Well...as we nicked the national anthem from the Germans and the Germans nicked it from the French I'm guessing it's no big deal changing it to something more appropriate.
God save the Queen? Who gives a shit?
Yeah Jerusalem fits perfectly, it stirs the soul...
Especially with words like............
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
That or I wouldn't be against Bubbles being elevated to National Anthem.

Either way, a pseudo-religious crock of shit that may or may not be a parody is still not national anthem material for me.
Now this is as rousing as they come. I defy anyone to seriously suggest otherwise...

It is rumoured that Blake intended Jerusalem as a tongue in cheek, ironic parody. It was originally a poem.
He lived his life in poverty and made little money from his artwork whilst alive so it's a theory which may well have an element of credibility.

Jerusalem may be rousing but it is a load of old pseudo-religious nonsense,
Did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green? Of course they fucking didn't you mad old cunt, Blake.

Why can't we make a new one?
Personally, I'd like it to be very dour with lyrics about a man-made mythical being saving some Kraut ponce with no mention of England.
