Alternative national anthems at football matches

[South Bank Hank]

Accepting as everyone does that "500 miles" by the Proclaimers is now the unofficial national anthem of Scotland (Ba-Duuuuub-Daaaaahhh....), I think FIFA should bite the bullet and play this before Scotland's international matches.

I'd like to compile for Mr Blatter a list of alternatives for the world's nations.
This could be big, folks!!

Spain - La Bamba (Richie Valens)
Columbia - White Lines (Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel!)
Holland - Because I got high (Afroman) or How much is that doggie in the window?
France - ???
England - ???
Germany - ???
Argentina - ???
Brazil - ???
Belgium - Nothing ever happens (Del Amitri)
Czech Republic - ???
Denmark - ???
Greece - ???
Italy - Just one cornetto (Ad)
Sweden - ???
Wales - Baa baa black sheep (Pet Shop Boys)

Don't forget those footballing minnows:

Vietnam - 19 (Paul Hardcastle)
India - Vindaloo (Fat Les)

Good choices there. England has to be 3 lions!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

France - Surrender (U2)
Argentina - touched by the hand of God (New Order)
Grease - the Greece megamix (Travolta, Newton-John et al)

 

[Pubey]

Austria - Vienna

 

[MK Shrimper]

Rather obvious choice for our Hellenic cousins.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFmk...D0139B3C4&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=7

Damn you Yorkshire Blue!

 

[EastStandBlue]

France - Surrender.

EDIT: Bugger, I got beaten to it.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Forgot to add

Check Republic - Curtis Mayfield's Czech Out Your Mind

 

[BrettieAngell]

Russia - Back in the USSR

 

[OldBlueLady]

Sweden has to be something by Abba, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme perhaps?

Would have thoght the Slade classic - Malmo Weer All Crazee Now would have been good.

Israel - Jerusalem?

I was thinking of the former England manager and his penchant for high earning ;)

 

[Firestorm]

Argentina - Don't Cry for Me
Denmark - Bringing home the bacon - Procol Harem
Brazil Rio - Duran Duran

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Israel - Jerusalem?

Erm, no. How about The Cure's 'Killing an Arab'?

 

[South Bank Hank]

Good suggestions so far...

USA - Enola Gay (OMD)
South Africa - Spitting Image Tribute

 

[MK Shrimper]

Good suggestions so far...

USA - Enola Gay (OMD)
South Africa - Spitting Image Tribute

Wouldn't Enola Gay be more apt for Japan?

No, they should have this little beauty:

Japanese Boy by Aneka

or failing that, 'Yellow' by Coldplay would do.
