the National Anthem would be O Canada. as performed by either geddy lee & the mckenzie brothers(or terrence & phillip, if you will).

just because.

it would be followed by the Popeye theme song.

then the puck would be dropped.

And NA has already supplied us with the first line of the lyrics.

dude no, "TAKE OFF" would be better, and already exists.

Humph, that doesn't conform to heraldic rules.

― OleM (OleM), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 16:33 (twenty years ago) link

That's because it's not a coat of arms, it's a flag.

the problem with YMOF's suggestion is that there is a irritating abundance of Badly Drawn Boy which violates my principles considerably as i pointed out at the time to deaf ears

National animal: the kitten.

National bird: the chickenbear.

National anthem: Ned R. reading the almanac.

Whoa, back up: any anthem other than "Losing My Edge" better just move on to another nation.
