I've listened to a number of national anthems from around the world, and IMO,
the SSB is the most boring of the bunch...and I'm an American!  My favorite is
"O Canada".  Back in the '70s-'80s, Windsor's channel 9 would show late movies
at Midnight and then go off the air, preceeded by "O Canada", so I heard it
quite often.  My Next favorite is Russia's, "State Anthem of the Russian
Federation"; there's a mouth full, but a great piece.
