Yay for fixed computers! and I'm jealous, Chatty. I want a naptime!

Lambi, does the Queen have to know?

Oh, she knows...  she's listening in from his wallet right now.

Aye, and they used Tim Hortons to distribute the coins, already the nation's largest (single) dealer of addictive substances and fatty foods.

Pasting a booger over the poppy takes care of the spy functions...  but it's disrespectful.

Sorry I didn't respond until now.  I was busy loudly expressing my strongly-held Monarchist views and playing "God Save the Queen" (the original, not the Sex Pistols version) on loudspeakers directed at my pants.

I just watched the Queen attempting to do Auld Lang Syne at the Millennium Gig. Priceless.

She didn't look too happy. But then neither would I have been if forced to spend millenium eve in a glorified tent on the Greenwich gas works' site.

I can't believe you recorded it.

Not much else on that night.

(What should Herr Köhler  be singing then Swato?)

I was thinking about late President Scheel entering the charts with "Hoch auf dem gelben Wagen" in 1974

Proper thing too.  Actually I think it's the American currency we have to worry about. I notice they've stopped displaying the monarch's head recently. I think they're planning something. Probably some evil commie leftist peoples' revolution.
And it's in your backyard.

I'll try and find that online.  Not sure how many of our Heads of State sang. Think I heard that Queen Victoria accompanied visiting classical composers in  Buckingham Palace's music room, but I'm not sure it's Top Ten material.


edit:

P.S. Doesn't read like the most cheerful song I've ever heard, but it's amazing what you can do with a funky backing beat.

[Swatopluk]

It's usually sung with lot of swing (not the 1920/30ies Jazz). Let's say the coach driver suspects that Indians may be on the horizon .
I think playing musical instruments (semi)professionally has more tradition than singing with heads of state.
Hm, a new format for the presidential election contest? Should Hillary take saxophone lessons from Bill?

Last _{for a new amendment*} Post

*the constitution shall thus be amended: The president must be able to either sing ro play with a recognized musical instrument the national anthem without error.

Sort of "Four Wheel on my Wagon", but with added Weltschmerz und Sehnsucht nach dem Tod?

I suspect our HoS knows the national anthem off by heart, but she's probably the only one who for whom it would be bad form to sing it.  Can't vote either. It's tough at the top.

Last _{but I'd put up with it} Post

( a World leaders band might resemble the Bonzo Dog Band's "The Intro And The Outro" song too much).

In the movie "The Dish" USA 2001 release (pretty good movie too) the band in Australia plays the Hawaii 5-0 theme as the US national anthem---- it's hilarious
