sh*t national anthems

Jamaica !

It's rubbish. You'd expect the Jamaicans to have a really groovy anthem, but it's really dull.

Yeah!

They should have something more reggaey to reflect the country!!!!

AGREED ,but the words are still beautifull...

Jamaica National Anthem

Eternal Father, Bless our Land,
Guard us with thy mighty hand,
Keep us free from evil powers,
Be our light through countless hours,
To our leaders, great defender,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, land we love

Teach us true respect for all,
Stir response to duty's call,
Strengthen us the weak to cherish,
Give us vision lest we perish,
Knowledge send us Heavenly Father,
Grant true wisdom from above,
Justice, truth be ours forever,
Jamaica, land we love,
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, land we love!

The words are good, but how can a country that has

reggae

and calypso

and ska

have such a dreary anthem. They even wear "sunny" colours. They should be up on the podium, celebrating to some jolly music.
