I would have just wished that they would have united the songs, since both songs use the same tack anyway & "Germany, united fatherland" used the melody of the "Germany song" in the early years ...
The hymn was written when both governments were seeking to unite, but as the divisions became more definitive it just became an awkward reminder of the ideological split, beautiful anthem nonetheless
The Line: Deutschland einig Vaterland was removed from the east German anthem as the foreign policy shifted from demanding Unification in the 50's to the co-existence in the 70's to the opposition of reeunification in the 80's. It was then sung by protestors demanding unification in 1989.
@@renlevy411 Yeah but i was more imagining an anime like JRPG but takes place at the Central African Republic. Nit sure how you'll write the story though.
The "Germany, Germany, above all" thing is one of the most misunderstood lines ever. The original meaning is not as bad as it seems. When the song was written, there was no german state. There were a lot of small states that spoke german. The line "Germany, Germany, above all" does not intend to say that Germany is the best country (how could it when that country didn't exist?), it says that the german speaking people desire nothing more than a single, unified german state. Of course, the Nazis misused the song to actually imply that Germany is better than any other country, but this is a wrong interpretation of the lyrics.
I have to tell you that this is one of my favourite videos. I always come back and watch it in through completely! The azerbaijan part is one of the things i look forward the most and the broad overview of different anthems in the middle!
Lots of songs can be sung to the tune of another. Many English hymn books contain an index of syllables in the verses so that sets of words can be sung to different tunes if desired.
Yes because the East German lyrics were originally written as new verses for the old German anthem. The Commy government liked the new words but didn't want to use the old tune, so they commissioned a new tune.
Poland is not yet lost, so long as we still live. What the foreign forces took from us, at saberpoint we shall retrieve. March, march, Dabrowski, from the Italian lands to Poland. Under your command, we shall rejoin our fatherland.
12:16 That is not Spain anthem ,that is NATIONAL/FASCIST spain anthem. It was settled in the Francisco Franco dictatorship. Actually , the anthem is just the music and there is no lyrics . I do not reccommend to sing it becose they may consider you Fascist.
I was looking for this and couldn't explain it better, but to give my two cents, Spaniards nicknamed the anthem "lolo lolo", since it has no lyrics and can't be properly 'sung'.
It wasn’t settled during Franco’s dictatorship, but before to unite right-wing members. It was made by Miguel Primo de Rivera 8 years before the Civil War
Fun fact: Sweden doesn't have an official anthem. The Swedish parliament have debated whether or not they should adapt "Du gamla, du fria" as the official anthem, but never passed it into law. The argument is that since the Swedish people all consider it their anthem, that's a stronger claim than any law passed down from the state would ever be. That also means that if all Swedes just started to sing "Waterloo" by ABBA at hockey and football games for long enough, that would eventually become Swedens anthem.
"The argument is that since the Swedish people all consider it their anthem, that's a stronger claim than any law passed down from the state would ever be." That's actually a beautiful sentiment.
I don't know which one would be the worst, du gamla, du fria, or waterloo! Probably still du gamla, du fria tbh. I seriously would rather have the intro to vilse i pankakan than that.

We have something similar in Canada, only it usually ends up as people awkwardly mumbling through the verses sung in not their native tongue. As there are full lyrics in both French and English and for official events it is supposed to be sung in both languages taking turns for different verses.

A note about the first stanza of the German anthem: The phrase "Germany, Germany above all in the world" had a very different meaning in the context it was written in. It was a time when Germany as a nation didn't exist and was made up of many small indepent realms. In that context it meant putting the new unified German nation above the smaller states. Of course, times change and so those words mean something entirely different in the context of the 20th and 21st centuries, so it makes sense they weren't kept.
Its sad that most people think that this part is about the superiority of Germany and not about the Idea of a Unified German state above their little duchies and Kingdoms.
I think at the end of its use it was understood and used that way by Germans too though. The meaning of these words depends a lot on their context. It was good as a rallying cry within a forming nation, but not a good one to represent a unified Germany to the world.
Aye, its an awesome song - shame Germany can't seem to shake off all the, in a word, trauma of WW2. One oughtn't forget, of course, but accept the past for what it is.
There is another problem with the first stanza aside from the "Germany above all in the world", it's the fact of territory descriptions/claims which are no longer true. Singing those would probalby seriously disturb the neighbourging countries. @Tor Henry Andreassen as a German myself I can tell you, the anthem is sung only to special occasions like football or else, on lesser occasions I would not come by easy singing the anthem. History is still present and must not be forgotten to strive for a better future.
What most people (also Germans) don't know is that the verse "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" isn't reffering to "Germany over all the other states", but "united Germany as an idea or goal above everything else". Because it came from a time in which Germany wasn't one big state but a lot of small kingdoms and states loosely categorized as Germany
Yeah the reason why we don't sing that part anymore is because the landmarks used to describe Germany aren't german anymore, so we would sing about how parts of other countries are german...
@@IchhabezuvielRUclipsgegucktO_o which in return though WAS what hitler wanted - get all old german land back (and more, but thats what he said at the beginning) which is why it also not sung anymore, because it would paint a picture of nazi beliefs.

The first stanza of the german anthem more referred to putting the idea of Germany as a whole above regional squabbles. It also references certain "german borders" that referred to german speaking regions in an attempt to unite a fractured after the Napoleonic wars. But yeah nowadays it sounds more like conquest and supremacy because of... you know... that guy.
@@Berobad that’s not necessarily true, it’s more that they just don’t use the first two. They aren’t banned or anything. It’s more like how the US has 4 verses to its anthem but we only use the one. TLDR: the whole song is the national anthem, the just omit the first two parts
Funfact about the german anthem: While the modern reading of the first stanza and specifically the line "deutschland deutschland über alles" is usually seen in the context of nazi germany and read as a supremacist message, the originally intended meaning is quite different. It was written in a time where there was no german nation, but instead a vast collection of several hundred kingdoms and principalities and it called for a unity of the german people in a unified nation. Only much later it was misappropriated to reflect the supremacist notion we associate with it today.

Not quite New Zealand's started from a poetry competion in a newspaper it won and a few years later someone wrote the music to it and now the rest is history .
Finnish Anthem got its start from people really liking a poem, then creating the music around the poem. I remember thinking that it was kind of hard to sing when I was a child, so maybe thats the reason.
100% correct, it’s almost like an addiction I have to listen to at least 2-3 classical or patriotic songs from nations I’m not even from 😂 A rare one not many know about is Prussia’s “Heil dir im Siegerkranz” which is basically a copy of “God save the Queen”
@@christiankrarup6501 I think the anthem perfectly represents our country. Although time is changing and its beginning to become less of a paradise for us but more so for the tourists.

Life was just pretty much, work/school, sleep, eat out and swim or chill at the beach. It was and still is a paradise in my mind.

I definitely think that Germany should've kept "Risen from Ruins". To me, it would've symbolically represented their rise from the ashes of Nazi Germany and from the Soviet Union.

@@jojay3981 it's "march march Dąbrowski, from the Italian land to Poland" it is a reference to Jan Henryk Dąbrowski, a Polish general and statesman. He was the founder of the Polish Legions in Italy serving under Napoleon from 1795. Dąbrowski and his soldiers hoped to fight against Austria under Napoleon and, subsequently, march across the Austrian territory, "from Italy to Poland", where they would ignite a national uprising. also Polish anthem, called "Dąbrowski's mazurka" (or "poland is not yet lost" after 1st verse) was originally a soldier's song called ″Song of the Polish Legions in Italy″.

I'm from Poland, so obviously my opinion is biased, but I don't think our anthem is mediocre at all. While I can see the melody being boring, the lyrics are very important to us. For a hundred years Poles were under German, Austrian and Russian rule, and later we got caught up with the nazis and communists, but we never forgot who we were. All our stories and poems were about regaining independence and returning to our homelands to be reunited once more since the times of the Commonwealth. With all that knowledge, the lyrics of "Poland is not yet lost" hit so much harder, because it would truly live on inside of us, while we still drew breath. In any case I'm just some Polish dude writing this in a democratic Poland, which is already independent, but the lyrics still resonate with me, because they make me stop and think how long my ancestors had to fight, how many sacrifices they've made, so I'd be able to sit my ass down in a building, in front of a computer, ethnically a Pole in a stable (mostly anyway) Polish state. While most of us Poles don't exhibit the same traits, I think our ancestors would look proudly upon us, for this is waht they fought to create. And that's the beauty of this anthem. It represents all the people that fought and died for this Polish state, this place where we can feel at home, where we can thrive safely, without oppresion or homesickness. It is truly a memoir worthy of our people, our heroes.
In my opinion the polish anthem is the 2nd best in the world right after my own country of portugal (even tho I'm slightly biased it's an undeniable banger) the lyrics just scream poland basically, the first 2 or 3 lines just explain all you have to know about poland, and the language is just beautiful atleast to me, i already wanted to learn polski but hearing the anthem made me love poland and polish so much more POLSKA GUROM
I'm Aussie and have literally nothing to do with Germany but "Risen from ruins" legitimately brought a tear to my eye. That's the mark of an amazing anthem.
That one would have been a much better example for an anthem change due to embarrassment as well. As the line about "Germany, united fatherland" was a little bit at odds with the Berlin Wall, it was effectively instrumental only for about 20 years.
I'd bet quite a many countries have better national songs than their anthem. Finnish national anthem for example, while being nice and all, holds no candle to Finlandia-hymn by Sibelius, which would also have a whole goddamn symphony to go with it. While the anthem is a Finnish poem written by our unofficial national poet, the composition is a German one. Also, Estonia adopted the same melody for some reason, I bet they would have had something more personal as a nation proud of their singing culture. Seriously though, Estonia has one of the largest song festivals in the world every 5 years, with like 3% of the country's whole population performing to another 8%.
Interesting fact: Spain's anthem doesn't officially have lyrics because they were scrapped after Franco's dictatorship. Sometimes at sports events people will play the one with lyrics and it'll be awkward
I misread that as the "French occupation" or something and looked for the version with lyrics, and now I realize I was bobbing my head to a fascist. Damn it.
Except, it's not, we all know that Nationalist Spain was built upon the Monarchists, the Phalanx (say it in spanish, yt bans the word), Catholics, Capitalists, to anti-commies, with each of their own interpretation of the anthem used during the Kingdom of Spain's time. Many theories suggests that Franco playing it safe by not using any variants there is, be it the more Militaristic or the Monarchist version, just for the sake of not losing supports from those who are fragile to break away I'm sorry if this sort of wrong(?) in a way, but just to keep options open for people to digest
fun fact: all of mexico's anthem sings about war against Spain, and how everyone there will unite against a common tresspaser and painting the hills red with the blood of the enemy... we are a little bit spicy
Just wanting to say that „Germany, Germany above all“ originally did not mean that Germany should rule the world or something like that but that Germany should be the number 1 priority for every German, reaching German unity should be the most important thing in the world. However it is just to easy to misunderstand that
or in other words it's "über alles" (above everything), not "über allen" (above everyone). It goes back to a time, when the borders of the german micro states were the nightmare of every geographer.
Yes, it's meant in the same vein as "Rule Britannia". But the bigger problem isn't that it is easily misunderstood, but that the first stanza includes references to geographical locations that today are not seen as German anymore but could arguably be seen as that back in 1841, the river Meuse (Maas), the Neman (Memel), Adige (Etsch) and the Danish straits (Belt). And until WW1 those have been the borders of the German Empire (and Austro-Hungaria).
Fun fact: In Finland, the US Battle Hymn of the Republic has been re-written into a childrens' song, and in Finnish, it's about a little Matti whose car blew a tire and we're gonna fix it with bubble gum. No kidding, look it up.
I know a version about a skier dying, and another one about queen Elisabeth losing her underwear on the number 7 bus 😂 (which used to be a long distance coach bus thing to England from my nearest city)
Yeah and there's a version of the song "Oh Susanna" that is about little squirrels making a rocket to the moon. And "When Johnny comes marching home" melody with lyrics about Captain Hook. And there's also the "Glory, glory Man United!".
The lyrics of the Slovenian anthem are kind of unique and I'm surprised you didn't mention it. I say that because the anthem doesn't mention the country at all. The lyrics merely say "May long live all those who seek freedom and peace." Much like the German anthem, the Slovenian anthem is part of a longer poem. The poem was written by France Prešeren and is titled "Zdravljica", which would translate to "A toast." And that's just what it is: A toast to different aspects of life.
As a political active german I argue so much about the east german anthem and how it fits our view towards the world so much better as our own anthem does! It's driving me insane that any(!) conter argument I get back is that it's from the east. So? Rotkäppchen (a very well received sparkling wine is so too!)

the oldest anthem in the world is actually the Dutch anthem, it was written in the 1500 s and was officially adopted as national anthem in 1932 (: edit: to finally end this debate happening in the comments; this following text was taken from the site of Guinness world records. ""The words of Japan's anthem "Kimigayo" were taken from the Kokin Wakashū, a collection of waka poetry published in the 9th century CE, although they were not set to music until 1880, and not formally adopted as the national anthem until 1888. The anthem of the Netherlands, "Wilhelmus van Nassouwe" or just "Wilhelmus", has the oldest music: a tune taken from a French anti-Protestant song known as "Chartres" that was first written down in 1574, and used unofficially as the anthem from the 17th century before being finally adopted formally in 1932. Of the four wordless national anthems, the oldest is that of Spain, "La Marcha Real", dating from 1770.""
15:25 The Star Spangled Banner is way better when sung by a crowd or choir. The stanza that's used is also secular, unlike some other songs (like Battle Hymn of the Republic)
Fun Fact: The Spanish anthem you used in the video is not the official one anymore, that was used during the Franco dictatorship, and the new one is the same without the lyrics haha
I was about to make a joke about Balkan countries arguing with each other in RUclips comments on any video where there is even the vaguest mention of their country, but I see they've already done it for me
Actually. "Germany, Germany above all" doesnt mean that Germany is above or better than any other Nation. The Song was written before Germany as a Nation-State even existed. So the Lines true meaning is that the creation and unification of Germany as a Nation should be above all. And yes, as a West-German i have to admit that the Anthem of East-Germany is very beautiful.
Unfortunately, its a lot harder to sell that perspective when the very second line is "Above all in the world." The reasoning still sort of fits even then, but no one would ever understand it that way, justifiably.
@light I always wondered if germans considered themselves as east german and west german or just as german. I mean the split was not even a full lifetimes worth, and the divide was made by foreign powers in a arbitrary way.
And I also don't think that the first stanza was dropped because of the first line, but rather the part in the middle about the rivers Maas, Memel, Etsch and Belt. Since Germany had to relinquish their old territorial claims, the geography became outdated. Yeah, _Auferstanden aus Ruinen_ should have been Germany's new national anthem. Austria should change theirs too, maybe to _O du mein Österreich._

Bosco Vallejo-Nágera yeah exactly like the old verses of the German anthem. Germany above all wasn’t even trying to say ”we are the best” it was trying to say “Germany should be your number one loyalty/focus”
The fact that Mexico had more deaths in its independence war than all other American nations COMBINED, and then a century of Civil wars deadlier (again) than all other American nations, is very well reflected in the first line of its anthem literally saying that as a Mexican you have to be ready for war.

I blame that mostly on the attempt to "class up" what was an old drinking song. "O! Archon!" I believe was the tune used for the Star Spangled Banner as an anthem. And then attempting to make it sound like something other than a drunk singing.

The "Germany, Germany, above all" thing is one of the most misunderstood lines ever. The original meaning is not as bad as it seems. When the song was written, there was no german state. There were a lot of small states that spoke german. The line "Germany, Germany, above all" does not intend to say that Germany is the best country (how could it when that country didn't exist?), it says that the german speaking people desire nothing more than a single, unified german state.
Of course, the Nazis misused the song to actually imply that Germany is better than any other country, but this is a wrong interpretation of the lyrics.
So kind of like when people say "put country before party" or "put nation above state(province)"?
@@seileach67 yes, that is how it was meant originally. Put a united german nation state above the kingdoms small states

Fun fact, you can sing the lyrics of the German and East German anthems to the melody of the respective other and it almost works out perfectly.
Lots of songs can be sung to the tune of another. Many English hymn books contain an index of syllables in the verses so that sets of words can be sung to different tunes if desired.
Still a fun fact though. I liked it.
@@SkippertheBart True I song the US national Athem to the beat of the soviet nation anthem.
I suspect I have made numerous enemies in the afterlife.
Yes because the East German lyrics were originally written as new verses for the old German anthem. The Commy government liked the new words but didn't want to use the old tune, so they commissioned a new tune.

Fun fact: Sweden doesn't have an official anthem. The Swedish parliament have debated whether or not they should adapt "Du gamla, du fria" as the official anthem, but never passed it into law. The argument is that since the Swedish people all consider it their anthem, that's a stronger claim than any law passed down from the state would ever be.
That also means that if all Swedes just started to sing "Waterloo" by ABBA at hockey and football games for long enough, that would eventually become Swedens anthem.

A note about the first stanza of the German anthem:
The phrase "Germany, Germany above all in the world" had a very different meaning in the context it was written in.
It was a time when Germany as a nation didn't exist and was made up of many small indepent realms. In that context it meant putting the new unified German nation above the smaller states.
Of course, times change and so those words mean something entirely different in the context of the 20th and 21st centuries, so it makes sense they weren't kept.
Its sad that most people think that this part is about the superiority of Germany and not about the Idea of a Unified German state above their little duchies and Kingdoms.
@@MetallGecko1 Agreed. Tbf most people are not familiar with the history of Germany's unification.
I think at the end of its use it was understood and used that way by Germans too though. The meaning of these words depends a lot on their context.
It was good as a rallying cry within a forming nation, but not a good one to represent a unified Germany to the world.
Aye, its an awesome song - shame Germany can't seem to shake off all the, in a word, trauma of WW2. One oughtn't forget, of course, but accept the past for what it is.
There is another problem with the first stanza aside from the "Germany above all in the world", it's the fact of territory descriptions/claims which are no longer true. Singing those would probalby seriously disturb the neighbourging countries.
@Tor Henry Andreassen as a German myself I can tell you, the anthem is sung only to special occasions like football or else, on lesser occasions I would not come by easy singing the anthem. History is still present and must not be forgotten to strive for a better future.
What most people (also Germans) don't know is that the verse "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" isn't reffering to "Germany over all the other states", but "united Germany as an idea or goal above everything else". Because it came from a time in which Germany wasn't one big state but a lot of small kingdoms and states loosely categorized as Germany
Yeah the reason why we don't sing that part anymore is because the landmarks used to describe Germany aren't german anymore, so we would sing about how parts of other countries are german...
@@IchhabezuvielRUclipsgegucktO_o which in return though WAS what hitler wanted - get all old german land back (and more, but thats what he said at the beginning)

Germans know that because the sentence obviousy has the meaning. Germans don't depend on wrong malicious translations of enemies.

Funfact about the german anthem:
While the modern reading of the first stanza and specifically the line "deutschland deutschland über alles" is usually seen in the context of nazi germany and read as a supremacist message, the originally intended meaning is quite different. It was written in a time where there was no german nation, but instead a vast collection of several hundred kingdoms and principalities and it called for a unity of the german people in a unified nation. Only much later it was misappropriated to reflect the supremacist notion we associate with it today.

"Rule Britannia" is such a better song than "God Save the Queen" that I usually forget it's _not_ the UK's national anthem.
Yeah just a slight issue of all the connotations about the British Empire
@@maxjones503 I'm pretty sure an anthem with connotations about the whole Empire that includes it's people is a major improvement than connotations of one reigning monarch.
The first part is a bit tricky though, especially the "arose" bit. But it's definitely more optimistic.
@@traiforse5777 Yeah, more just the general attitudes people in the UK have toward the British Empire. There's some people that still like it, but others thinking it glorifies colonialism, slavery, etc.
It's not sp much about the content of the song as much as what people think of when they hear it.
Hollywood seems to have the same issue, since almost every movie ever uses "Rule Britannia" for the UK.
Probably because otherwise people would have asking "Why are they using My Country Tis of Thee for England?"

I'm from Poland, so obviously my opinion is biased, but I don't think our anthem is mediocre at all. While I can see the melody being boring, the lyrics are very important to us. For a hundred years Poles were under German, Austrian and Russian rule, and later we got caught up with the nazis and communists, but we never forgot who we were. All our stories and poems were about regaining independence and returning to our homelands to be reunited once more since the times of the Commonwealth. With all that knowledge, the lyrics of "Poland is not yet lost" hit so much harder, because it would truly live on inside of us, while we still drew breath.
In any case I'm just some Polish dude writing this in a democratic Poland, which is already independent, but the lyrics still resonate with me, because they make me stop and think how long my ancestors had to fight, how many sacrifices they've made, so I'd be able to sit my ass down in a building, in front of a computer, ethnically a Pole in a stable (mostly anyway) Polish state. While most of us Poles don't exhibit the same traits, I think our ancestors would look proudly upon us, for this is waht they fought to create. And that's the beauty of this anthem. It represents all the people that fought and died for this Polish state, this place where we can feel at home, where we can thrive safely, without oppresion or homesickness. It is truly a memoir worthy of our people, our heroes.
Poland is NOT yet lost
In my opinion the polish anthem is the 2nd best in the world right after my own country of portugal (even tho I'm slightly biased it's an undeniable banger) the lyrics just scream poland basically, the first 2 or 3 lines just explain all you have to know about poland, and the language is just beautiful atleast to me, i already wanted to learn polski but hearing the anthem made me love poland and polish so much more

I'd bet quite a many countries have better national songs than their anthem. Finnish national anthem for example, while being nice and all, holds no candle to Finlandia-hymn by Sibelius, which would also have a whole goddamn symphony to go with it. While the anthem is a Finnish poem written by our unofficial national poet, the composition is a German one.
Also, Estonia adopted the same melody for some reason, I bet they would have had something more personal as a nation proud of their singing culture. Seriously though, Estonia has one of the largest song festivals in the world every 5 years, with like 3% of the country's whole population performing to another 8%.
Interesting fact: Spain's anthem doesn't officially have lyrics because they were scrapped after Franco's dictatorship. Sometimes at sports events people will play the one with lyrics and it'll be awkward
I misread that as the "French occupation" or something and looked for the version with lyrics, and now I realize I was bobbing my head to a fascist. Damn it.
@@Person16384 Germany does officially have lyrics. Sometimes they play the rong ones though...
Except, it's not, we all know that Nationalist Spain was built upon the Monarchists, the Phalanx (say it in spanish, yt bans the word), Catholics, Capitalists, to anti-commies, with each of their own interpretation of the anthem used during the Kingdom of Spain's time. Many theories suggests that Franco playing it safe by not using any variants there is, be it the more Militaristic or the Monarchist version, just for the sake of not losing supports from those who are fragile to break away

Just wanting to say that „Germany, Germany above all“ originally did not mean that Germany should rule the world or something like that but that Germany should be the number 1 priority for every German, reaching German unity should be the most important thing in the world. However it is just to easy to misunderstand that
or in other words it's "über alles" (above everything), not "über allen" (above everyone). It goes back to a time, when the borders of the german micro states were the nightmare of every geographer.
Yes, it's meant in the same vein as "Rule Britannia".
But the bigger problem isn't that it is easily misunderstood, but that the first stanza includes references to geographical locations that today are not seen as German anymore but could arguably be seen as that back in 1841, the river Meuse (Maas), the Neman (Memel), Adige (Etsch) and the Danish straits (Belt). And until WW1 those have been the borders of the German Empire (and Austro-Hungaria).
Change „über alles“ to „zuvörderst“?
@@cdev2117 yeah, fair enough, rewrite bits.

There's also a version singing about a paratrooper falling to his death.
The lyrics of the Slovenian anthem are kind of unique and I'm surprised you didn't mention it. I say that because the anthem doesn't mention the country at all. The lyrics merely say "May long live all those who seek freedom and peace."
Much like the German anthem, the Slovenian anthem is part of a longer poem. The poem was written by France Prešeren and is titled "Zdravljica", which would translate to "A toast." And that's just what it is: A toast to different aspects of life.
i was looking for someone mentioning this
Wow that's actually very interesting!
As a political active german I argue so much about the east german anthem and how it fits our view towards the world so much better as our own anthem does! It's driving me insane that any(!) conter argument I get back is that it's from the east. So? Rotkäppchen (a very well received sparkling wine is so too!)
So is our Sandmännchen, and we still recognized that it was the better one and kept the eastern version for that reason. Really should have done the same thing with the anthem.

the oldest anthem in the world is actually the Dutch anthem, it was written in the 1500 s and was officially adopted as national anthem in 1932 (:
edit: to finally end this debate happening in the comments; this following text was taken from the site of Guinness world records.
""The words of Japan's anthem "Kimigayo" were taken from the Kokin Wakashū, a collection of waka poetry published in the 9th century CE, although they were not set to music until 1880, and not formally adopted as the national anthem until 1888. The anthem of the Netherlands, "Wilhelmus van Nassouwe" or just "Wilhelmus", has the oldest music: a tune taken from a French anti-Protestant song known as "Chartres" that was first written down in 1574, and used unofficially as the anthem from the 17th century before being finally adopted formally in 1932. Of the four wordless national anthems, the oldest is that of Spain, "La Marcha Real", dating from 1770.""

Actually. "Germany, Germany above all" doesnt mean that Germany is above or better than any other Nation.
The Song was written before Germany as a Nation-State even existed. So the Lines true meaning is that the creation and unification of Germany as a Nation should be above all.
And yes, as a West-German i have to admit that the Anthem of East-Germany is very beautiful.
So beautiful East Germany banned the lyrics for most of its time as an independent state...
Unfortunately, its a lot harder to sell that perspective when the very second line is "Above all in the world." The reasoning still sort of fits even then, but no one would ever understand it that way, justifiably.
@light I always wondered if germans considered themselves as east german and west german or just as german. I mean the split was not even a full lifetimes worth, and the divide was made by foreign powers in a arbitrary way.
And I also don't think that the first stanza was dropped because of the first line, but rather the part in the middle about the rivers Maas, Memel, Etsch and Belt. Since Germany had to relinquish their old territorial claims, the geography became outdated.
Yeah, _Auferstanden aus Ruinen_ should have been Germany's new national anthem.

The fact that Mexico had more deaths in its independence war than all other American nations COMBINED, and then a century of Civil wars deadlier (again) than all other American nations, is very well reflected in the first line of its anthem literally saying that as a Mexican you have to be ready for war.

I always like the fact that the US's anthem sounds so out of place compared to most. Because its lyrics were a poem never meant to be sung, combined with the tune of a drinking song. Which honestly sound like America to me.
US anthem just hates its singer.
Plus it has a note in it that 98% of the populace can't reliably hit.
I blame that mostly on the attempt to "class up" what was an old drinking song. "O! Archon!" I believe was the tune used for the Star Spangled Banner as an anthem.
And then attempting to make it sound like something other than a drunk singing.
The Hungarian anthem was also given a melody only retroactively, and its author and composer are 2 different people.
