   Hello, Mortar!

   Do you have a preference for whether it's sung in English or French?   
      
    MM> My Next favorite is Russia's, "State Anthem of the Russian   
    MM> Federation"; there's a mouth full, but a great piece.   
      
   Also, try comparing the national anthem of the USSR with the modern anthem of   
   the Russian Federation. There's quite a difference!   
      
   P.S. I lived in Quebec from 2009 to 2012 and picked up some Quebecois French.   
   Native French speakers always laugh when I speak to them, though!   
      
   Best Regards, Nil
