National Anthem | comment |
A national anthem is essentially the Theme Song of an entire country, usually (but not always) officially recognized by the government. Due to their iconic status they tend to show up in media a lot. The usage may vary: Sometimes they are used straight, as a kind of Regional Riff or because the story takes place in a context (such as a sports event or ceremony) where a national anthem would normally be played. Often fictional countries are given equally fictional National Anthems. Sometimes real ones (or the tendency for people to sing them very badly) are mocked. A common (and Truth in Television) joke is that no one knows all the verses of their national anthem. Usually only one or two verses are sung, and the contents of later verses might often shock people. Some songs are NOT National Anthems but are often confused for them. Many countries with monarchies also has a separate Royal Anthem that is basically the monarch's personal Leitmotif. The UK is somewhat unusual in that the royal anthem is also the national anthem. This is tied to individual countries of the UK all having their own de facto anthem, played at sporting events. For more, see British National Anthems. See also Patriotic Fervor. Quite often involves a kind of Scenery Porn in the lyrics. |

"Hatikvah" appears three times in Exodus (1960) as a Leitmotif. First, it is played in an epic, orchestrated instrumental version as the Jews aboard the Exodus throw the food overboard (initiating a hunger strike) and hoist the flag of Israel. Secondly, it's played on a car radio in a jazz-influenced arrangement when Akiva dies of his wounds. In the last instance, it's sung as a spontaneous Crowd Song after Partition is announced. | |

In one episode of Ein Herz und eine Seele, Alfred Tetzlaff sings the Horst-Wessel-Lied. Now, the actual German national anthem only consists of the third verse. As to be expected from Alfred, though, he starts with the first verse which, like the second verse, was banned after World War II for being blatantly nationalist. His son-in-law Michael who comes from East Germany taunts him by claiming that it's for both West and East Germany because it mentions Germany twice in the first line. | |

In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, the national anthem assigned to the Expy of South Africa is a thinly disguised version of Bok van Blerk's Afrikanerhart anthem. It isn't an official anthem on either world. But people moved to sing it put real passion into the words. More than they do into the official anthem. note go here for a listen. The translation from Afrikaans isn't brilliant but you get a general idea. Meanwhile the largly disregarded black people of Rimwards Howondaland have their own anthem. The BOSS don't like it very much and it's illegal. It begins n'kosi sikeleli' Wondaland... And a young student of Rodinian language and culture, invited to join expat Rodinians in Ankh-Morpork as part of her teaching, finds the evening finishes on the Great Hymn Of Rodinia. She listens, watching the people around her draw close and clasping hands or arms or shoulders in unity, are singing at least three different versions. Lieutenant Irena Politeka of the Air Watch, for instance, singing of "the Communist ideal" and of "treading unafraid the path where the Man of Iron did lead". And that Captain Olga Romanoff, also of the Air Watch, singing about "the loving fatherly wisdom of the Tsar", while other went a carefully non-committal third way that just referred to Sacred Mother Rodinia. But that everybody came together on the lines about "Great Rus people, eternally unified" and "Sing to the Motherland!" note The various evolutions of the Russian national anthem across a century: especially the lyrical changes in the 1944-adapted anthem. But with some pre-1917 Tsarism thrown in... |

Final Fantasy XIV: In the Stormblood expansion, Garlean soldiers sing "The Garlean Territorial Anthem for Gyr Abania and Surrounding States: The Measure of Our Reach" as the son of the emperor heads to his throne. It's later revealed that this is a bastardized rewriting of the Ala Mhigan national anthem, "The Measure of His Reach". After reclaiming Ala Mhigo from the Empire, the resistance sings the true anthem in celebration. In the Endwalker expansion, we hear the anthem for Garlemald itself; "Home Beyond the Horizon", a melancholy remix of "Imperial Will" that sings about the Garleans' stolen homeland and their hope of one day reclaiming it and everything else stolen from their ancestors. |

3rd Rock from the Sun: The aliens start to sing their home-world's anthem in one episode. None of them can remember the lyrics after the first few lines so they just sort of hum it until they reach the end, which they all remember as "something something ...spaceship!" They also screw up the American anthem in the episode "Red, White, & Dick", which is about them discovering Patriotic Fervor. Note they had somehow never heard it after having lived on Earth in America for six years, which is just one example of how the Fish out of Water premise had been stretched beyond all logic by that point. |

The Barrier: New Spain has a new national anthem, titled "Volveremos", which the children detained by Alma are made to sing on a regular basis. A snippet of it also plays right before a televised announcement from the President in the finale. The gist of the two verses that have been sung onscreen is "we are getting a chance to restore our country to its former glory, let's work on it together". The government's idea of "former glory" is heavily implied to be The Franco Regime. | |

A similar juxtaposition of Die Wacht am Rhein and La Marseillaise occurred in The Grand Illusion when first the prison camp guards and then the prisoners of war (and not just the French ones) react to the news that Fort Douaumont (near Verdun) was taken by their side by intoning their respective patriotic song. During World War I Die Wacht am Rhein was indeed played and sung a lot in Germany, having the advantage of a more dramatic tune then the official Prussian and German anthem, Heil Dir im Siegerkranz, which uses the same tune as God Save the King (or Queen). (French actor Marcel Dalio has the distinction of appearing in both films). | |

In Waterloo, Nino Rota used Deutschlandlied as a menacing and ominous Leitmotif for Field Marschal Blücher and the Prussian army. This is wrong on several levels, as Joseph Haydn's tune at the time of the battle (1815) was used only as the Austrian anthem, the text of the Deutschlandlied was only written in 1841, it only became the official German (not Prussian) national anthem in 1922, and the national anthem of Prussia actually was Heil Dir im Siegerkranz, which is set to the tune of God Save the King. | |

In the Irish film The Wind That Shakes the Barley, the main characters have been imprisoned in a small jail by the British Army, and as one of their number is taken away for torture, they sing Amhrán na bhFiann, the song that would become the national anthem in 1926, to help him endure. (Though using the modern Irish lyrics is a slight anachronism - while it's possible he was working on them as early as 1917, Liam Ó Rinn's lyrics wouldn't be published until 1923.) | |

In Heart and Souls, Thomas is helping his supernatural friends complete their Unfinished Business, and one of them, Harrison, died before he could sing for an audience. Having just crashed into a B.B. King concert without a plan, Thomas hastily walks on stage and asks the audience to stand for the national anthem before the main show. | |

Used for a gag in the Australian film The Dish: the US ambassador to Australia is attending a reception in the middle-of-nowhere township of Parkes, since the local radio telescope is to be used to relay the TV broadcast from Apollo 11 the next day. The MC announces the US national anthem, and the ambassador straightens up and puts his hand on his heart, only for the clueless local band to launch into the theme tune for Hawaii Five-O. Cue very awkward looks all round. | |

"Rule Britania" will sometimes be used as a British theme in place of "God Save the Queen", probably less because "God Save the Queen" uses the same tune as "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and the national anthem of Liechtenstein, but because "Rule Britannia" has the more rousing tune and projects a nationalist message rather than one of loyalty to one's monarch. ("My Country 'Tis of Thee" is virtually unknown outside the United States, which led to it being turned into Heil Dir im Siegerkranz (the royal Prussian and imperial German anthem) in the German dub of The Great Race. | |

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake contained a casette tape which played the Zanzibar Land National Anthem. If soldiers heard this, they'd freeze in place to salute for the duration of the song (which lasted thirty seconds - presumably it was the song's opening or final bars). If played too often, the tape will warp and skip, and soldiers will stop responding to it and merely investigate the source of the music. There's a fanfic where Snake was actually singing it, and wrote the lyrics. The anthem sounds suspiciously like We Wish You a Merry Christmas, of all things. | |

The Hunger Games: In The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the young Coriolanus Snow is initially the only one of the students selected to be mentors in the Tenth Hunger Games who knows all the words to the Capitol anthem, "Gem of Panem". This is because he has been subjected to his grandmother singing along to a recording of it every day for more than a decade. In the original trilogy, "the anthem" plays on several occasions, notably at the end of each day in the arena when the Capitol seal is projected into the sky, along with the faces of any tributes who've died within the last 24 hours. The title of this anthem is not revealed in the books, but the piece of music used as "the anthem" in the films is called "Horn of Plenty". |

Casablanca has a famous scene: The German officers at Rick's are singing Die Wacht am Rhein, effectively lording their superiority over everyone; in response, the infuriated French expatriates, sympathizers, and loyalists drown them out with La Marseillaise. (Actually, Die Wacht am Rhein wasn't the Third Reich's national anthem, but Das Horst-Wessel-Lied was under copyright to the Nazi Party, and Warner Brothers would have been forced to pay royalties to them (the movie was produced before Pearl Harbor), so they changed it out. It still worked, however, because Die Wacht am Rhein is specifically a German patriotic anthem about fighting against the French.) The Horst-Wessel-Lied was the anthem of the Nazi Party, not of Germany itself during World War II, although it was played at official functions after the Deutschlandlied as a kind of second national anthem. |

Also in 1968, José Feliciano was asked to sing the anthem at Game 5 of the Cardinals/Tigers World series. As a blind Puerto Rican American, Feliciano took this very seriously and his version was intended as grateful, thoughtful, even dreamlike. There were no cheers from the stands, j8ust booing and ominous rumbling. "Real, patriotic" Americans were outraged. Most record stores stopped selling his records, and most radio stations stopped playing him. But an unauthorized recording actually hit the Billboard charts and sold over 50,000 copies in Detroit alone. On October 14, 2012, Feliciano once again sang the anthem at the NLCS, and this time no one booed. | |

The Goon Show: In "The Sleeping Prince" Seagoon becomes the president of a fictional republic. A Running Gag involves the playing of "Our glorious National Anthem". According to a later documentary, Spike Milligan complained that the original version sounded far too good, and asked for it to be changed so that only one instrument was playing at a time. Another episode plays the drumroll that the audience would associate with God Save the Queen, only for the tune to segue into Bloodnok's leitmotif. |

In The Sum of All Fears, The Star Spangled Banner is performed before the Super Bowl. What is unique about the performance is that it is using the lyrics from the fourth verse of the song, including lyrics "...and conquer we must, for our cause it is just..." This verse has rarely if ever been performed at such events. | |
