Following officially confirmed reports from Buckingham Palace that the Queen has grown heartily sick of the current one and is desperate for a change [I might just possibly have completely imagined that bit], what would you propose for a new national anthem - either for the UK as a whole or for one of the home nations (if not YOUR OWN home nation, kind fingers, please - no in-fighting or insults!)
All suggestions welcome - serious, stirring, sentimental, poignant, funny. Maybe we could have two alternatives, depending on whether the occasion is sombre or celebratory - a bit like on Bullseye, where they used a sad version of the tune over the closing credits when the contestants lost the gamble (younger MNers - ask your parents/grandparents or watch Challenge).
My personal choices would be either Van Morrison's Days Like This (already previously used in an attempted bringing-everybody-together capacity in NI) or Right Said Fred (the actual song by Bernard Cribbins, not the follically-challenged group of the same name - although feel free to nominate "I'm Too Sexy" if you like....).
