What you feel when you sing the National Anthem?

I would guess Pride. But the way a song should be good enough to have that effect on anyone.

Edit: After listening to the Irish National Anthem in English its better in Irish... The Brits don't know we are singing about them.

Nothing, But I feel in a big 45,000 people family when I sing Liverpool songs in the Kop, its a good feeling.

All round the fields of Anfield Road,
Where once we watched the King Kenny play,
We had heighway on the wing,
We had dreams and songs to sing,
Of the Glory, round the fields of Anfield Road.

a) depends on the country the national anthem belongs to
b) depends on the occasion
c) I feel sorry when people forget the text of their anthem while singing it (if Air Hannover likes soccer he knows what I mean )

Not too much, especially when they add all these weird samples to it to simulate nature etc, just makes it sound stupid. We sing it in Maori first then English.

For me,
Red China-Sad, Shame, etc.
the Republic of China-Happy, Proud, tears start, etc.
p.s. When I sing the national banner song, I feel almost the same too!

I get a picture of a monkey going through my head. Oh wait! That's not a monkey, that President Bush! Lol. Democrats hate him.

I feel like I'm about to PK. Yes, dktc. PK. Especially when they sing 前进...

The Italian national anthem sounds like one of the best drinking anthems out there. I loved it when they sang it at the Torino Olympics during the medal presentations.

I get a great sense of pride esp being that a good portion of my family and bf served in the military. It reminds me that even though the US isn't perfect the founding principals are kick butt and can't any other country come close to touching them. Now once that monkey and jerk off are out of D.C. hopefully things can return to normal here.

Clinton could be next the way it's going. :shock: I think she might have a chance.
