.. If you won't use "God save the queen/king" for some reason?

My choice would be "I vow to thee my country" - the middle part from "Jupiter, bringer of jollity" by Gustav Holst ...

So, here's the whole Jupiter ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz0b4STz1lo

and here the hymn itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUIYfuMCyFE

How about something sung by Treecats? "Snarl, Snarl, Bleek" by DJ Ear Bender of the Hollow Rocks Clan.

Or that unpublished masterpiece by Salvatore Hammerwell, "Her Maj Goin' Bring Da Funk" in G minor.

'God save our Queen' - with the original tune. Which very few people have ever heard, and it isn't the dirge we know now (also used for your US song). It survives, believe it or not, on a contemporary musical box in a private collection.

Cheers, John

David Bowie's "Space Oddity" is ripe for Grayson.

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff)
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense
