Most countries with more than one official language simply translate the words of their national anthem so that everyone is at least singing the same song. But in Canada, there are two songs called O Canada and they have absolutely nothing in common. The original French song was written as a pro-Quebec nationalist song but the tune was co-opted by …

Countries haven't always had national anthems. Most were adopted fairly recently. The idea of a national anthem was born out of a British political crisis, when Bonnie Prince Charlie was marching on London in 1745 to claim the throne his grandfather had been forced to quit. The Scottish-led rebellion was crushed, but the song that London theatregoe…

The US anthem is one of the most instantly recognizable tunes in the world. It's also one of the most-played anthems, thanks to the uniquely American practice of playing the song at almost every public occasion, from local fairs to Super Bowls. So how did this song rise to such prominence? The story of the US anthem is told in the bestselling book …

Most national anthems like to toss in an appeal to God to favour one nation over all others. That religious basis helps explain why so many anthems sound like Christian hymns: in fact, many anthems are actually referred to as "national hymns." Maybe it's time to rethink religion in our national songs to make them more inclusive and less churchy. Su…

Some national anthems didn't start out that way: they were rebel songs that acquired respectability by being declared national symbols. We look at some of the rebel songs that made the journey - and how they lost their edge by becoming tools of the state Support the showโดย David Pate

We rarely get to hear other countries' anthems. The World Cup is a chance for us to listen to 32 national songs. It's also one of the major international events - along with the Olympics - that helped shape the modern anthem by setting limits on how long they could run. The abridged versions arranged for sports have now become the default songs tha…

So your country has a national anthem featuring violence, God and/or sexism. What should you replace it with? The Swiss did their best to come up with a perfect anthem that everyone can relate to. But somehow, it just doesn't hit the right notes. We'll look at how hard it can be to pick a good anthem and why the best solution may be just to grab an…

Some countries just stumble into national anthems because they suddenly realize that they're expected to have one. And what comes first is usually the music. Because it's the music that touches our emotions. Music can topple even the mightiest of regimes. We'll hear how the Baltic States sang their way to independence from the Soviet Union. And how…

Anthems aren't just for nations. There's a long and bewildering history of corporations adopting company songs in what seems like the ultimate CEO vanity project. They are almost always embarrassingly bad. Some companies then spend years trying to erase the evidence - but thanks to the internet, most of these terrible tunes still live on. We'll als…

Welcome to the virtual warehouse of abandoned anthems, where we can find national songs of nations that no longer exist piled alongside works that were dumped unceremoniously after regime changes. Most are deservedly forgotten - like Rhodesia's anthem and the song adopted by the US Confederate States. Others - like East Germany's - live on in surpr…

When Argentina sent a naval vessel to Spain to promote relations between the two countries, there were some awkward moments during the playing of the Argentine anthem which included lyrics calling the Spanish vile and bloodthirsty tyrants. So Argentina's government removed the most offensive verses, describing them as a "product of another era." Bu…

The idea of national anthems isn't an ancient one. It really all started back in the mid-18th century and took a long time to catch on. You can blame the English for that, but at least their national anthem isn't as violent and bloodthirsty as some. We'll also look at how anthems came to be associated with sports - and how the Olympics and World Cu…
