The German Anthem. It has a nice Hollywood feel to it. I can imagine it being played in Braveheart after a battle. Most of the other anthems I picture Aladeen marching down Times Square as The Dictator, lol. No disrespect to anyone's anthem, but it's my first impression. It's difficult not to think how silly other national anthems are, seeing how socially conditioned one's own anthem is.
The funny thing about the current German anthem is that it used to be (the melody) that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire where as the German Empire 1871-1918 anthem was (the melody) as that of the British;
Austria-Hungary (Kaiserhymne)
