But I LOVE the New Zealand National Anthem! It's so much better than this 'Advance Australia Fair' crap Don't get me wrong I'm as patriotic as the next Aussie but for me having to listen to 'Advance Austrlia Fair' over and over and over again at the Commonwealth Games was a pain in the proverbial ass. When one of the Kiwis won a cycling gold medal I was hoping to hear 'God Defend New Zealand' but no we didn't even get the medal ceremony even though an Aussie won the sliver medal! I found a web site while surfing through Google and that has an audio version of God Defend New Zeakand on it and I listen to it every time I go on a computer with earphones and a sound card. Right now I am in the process of trying to find a full lenght version of God Defend New Zealand sung entirely in Maori. If anyone out there knows of one please drop me a line!
what i want to know is if NZ will add a sign language version of the national anthem after the Maori version since it just gained official status.
I love the British one, although I don't know if its the actual Brit national anthem.... OH BRITANNIA, BRITANNIA RULES THE WORLD, BRITONS NEVER,EVER,EVER SHALL BE SLAVES Now THERE is a stirring song!
My fave bit of Hard Days Night - John's in the bath, playing with toy boats and singing to himself. "Oh britannia, britannia rules the- BOOM!" and he makes the boats crash and sink. its hilarious.
