Flags and Anthems

[The Bloody Baro]

So SUE me. I get the strong feeling that everyones against me! * TBB pulls out a tommy gun* You'll never take me alive!!.

[AdamTG02]

While on the topic of communist national songs, my favorite is East German national anthem, "Arisen from Ruins:"

Arisen from ruins
And turned toward the future,
Let us serve you well,
Germany, single fatherland.
Old distress calls for force,
And we force it united,
For we must succeed
In making the sun, beautiful as never before,
Rise over Germany.

Hmm, now that I actually read the translation, it seems a bit violent. Never mind...

I like the melody though.

[Haon]

I support the UN flag modified for Alpha Centauri (IE the "continents of Planet) and for an anthem, how about.........

*comes out blank*

[DeathByTheSword]

'OOOOPS i didnt again' from britney Speard :Evilgrin: onlyt the sound of this song will defeats our enemies

[Kassiopeia]

Chariots of Fire by Vangelis. Of course, it's copyrighted so not everyone can listen to it... it'd make a great hymn. The name could be changed if it's found a bit too, err, un-UN.

[Mr. President]

I vote for the User Technology 1 emblem for our flag, and Yankee Doodle for our anthem.

[Anodyne]

Now, we should have a flag-designing contest with a nice reward for the one whose suggestion wins. 50 energy credits or something

[Kassiopeia]

Whoa. That's like 50 000 millicreds. You could buy the entire storage of the Rec Commons with that money!

*Notices how Ade starts to do some serious flag designing*

[Main_Brain]

DBTS cracks me up

[Voltaire]

I’ve always been quite partial to anything Latin; so how about O Fortuna (that sounds sooo good): http://www.classical.net/music/comp....yr.html#track1

Or better yet: http://www.classical.net/music/comp....r.html#track14

[Voltaire]

Pandemoniak: How about Solidarity Song by Eisler?

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

Peoples of the world, together
Join to serve the common cause!
So it feeds us all for ever
See to it that it's now yours.

Forward....

Black or white or brown or yellow
Leave your old disputes behind.
Once you're talking with your fellow
Men, you'll soon be of one mind.

Forward....

If you want to make this certain
We'll need you and your support.
It's yourselves you'll be deserting
If you rat on your own sort.

Forward....

All the gang of those who rule us
Hope our quarrels never stop
Helping them to split and fool us
So they can remain on top.

Forward....

Workers of the world, uniting
That's the way to lose your chains.
Mighty regiments are fighting
That no tyranny remains!

Forward, without forgetting
Till the concrete question is hurled
When starving or when eating:
Whose tomorrow is tomorrow?
And whose world is the world?

And the actual song (in German) is here: http://eislermusic.com/real/solid-1.ram

YANKEE DOODLE?!?!?!? You have got to be kidding.

I really like the East German anthem. We should modify the lyrics and have it be our official anthem!

Not sure where to download it....But for those of you who haven't heard it, just PM me and I'll give it to you.

On the flag issue....50 ENERGY CREDITS?! Thats more than I make off the UNN! Much more! I have only 1 energy credit....

[Method]

and tass, why don't you attach it, and people can download and listen to it, so we can see if we like it

Just tried. Its too big

[Mr. President]

Yes, I was. But not all of us are old, angry Russian communists who are being made fun of by evil capitalist pig dogs. So we need an anthem that everyone can support - not Yankee Doodle, but not the Soviet anthem either.
