I disagree. I think it's one of the most beautiful national anthems in all of Europe. The Norwegian anthem is even better though.

Opinions are diffrent. I for myself never liked any national anthem, but the german one always gave me ear cancer.
But a interesting fact, what young germans and foreigners never know is that the german national anthem consists of 3 strophes, but only the 3rd one is sung.
The real german national anthem begins with the 1st strophe
Germany, Germany above everything,
Above everything in the world
and not
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland!

As a composer of classical music myself, I have always been fascinated by national anthems (and have even wrote a few pieces styled like national anthems myself). My favorite, by far, however, is Haydn's "Kaiserhymne" which was used in Austria Hungary. Am I correct that this is the same music (albeit with different lyrics) as the current German anthem? I thought I read that somewhere, but I never researched it further though.
I first heard/saw it during Otto Hapsburg's funeral in Vienna a few years back, which I found on YouTube (of course, in the wonderful, culturally rich USA, they would never air such a thing [sarcasm]). The pipe organ blasting through St. Stephan's combined with the majority of Europe's royal heads of state singing together was a pretty fascinating sight.

The Italian Anthem no question about that. The music is just magical but the lyrics are bad.
Russian is very beautiful but Polish is also. Besides I like this patriotic song which was an official contender to become a Polish anthem in 1918.

Can't believe that happened.
Btw Rota has some very obvious Anti-German lyrics ...

Ni dzieci nam germanił
German will not spit in our face
Or germanify our children

Can't believe that happened.
If it happened in another country, i'd believe that was innocent mistake. However, that happening in Kuwait, i am sure that was Intentional. The surprising thig, the chick took it in a very cool way.

It is called Crested Crane and is the national bird of Uganda. :D
http://dev.cubackpack.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Crested-Crane-7H2A3121-sm11.jpg
Cranes pick a partner and mate for life. Like the native Ugandans, they are communal. They roost in large groups, sometimes up to 200 birds and this is one of the reasons that the bird is displayed on the Ugandan flag. A certain reason is that its plumage conveniently contains all the colors of the flag.
The crane is depicted on the flag with one leg up to represent that Uganda is always moving forward. Sometimes is not sure what this “forward” leads to. lol

I think Russia's national anthem is pretty powerful.
The old Red Army song There March the Soldiers is also extremely powerful.
