Not all anthems 're[f]lect the aspirations of a nation'. The US one (tune written by an Englishman!) relates a specific occasion in 1812 when a flag kept flying at Fort McHenry under gunfire, visible with each explosion. The French one is literally bloodthirsty, all about throat-cutting, raising bloody flags, irrigating plough-furrows with blood ~ oh, most aspirational! is that really the 'aspiration' of the French nation in the intervals of eating cheese & surrendering [JOKE! honest!].

GSTQ is rather a sweet antique with a long tradition behind it. And lovely & short! ~~ crowds aren't left waiting for what feels like hours for the match to begin while it 'drags its slow length along' (Pope), unlike with so many of them.

It's harmless [even tho I don't believe in God or hold all that much of a brief for royalty but let's not go into all that again just now]. A pleasant hummable tune.

Leave it alone, do!
