THIS might be the best idea I've heard in a LONG time!:

PLEASE can we include O CANADA--which has to be the funniest national anthem
in the world even before you try to play it on kazoo....


...and stand on guard, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, Glorious and free,
We stand on guard, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

(I THINK there might even be a few more 'stand on guards', but I haven't
been able to sing the thing through without cracking up in SO long that I've
forgotten....  Given your underlying thesis, though, I think it's VERY
HEALTHY to have a national anthem that makes people laugh....)

Cheers,

Paul

OSR--Could somebody please post the JDS jacket copy that popped up in a post
a few days ago?  (I seem to remember it being from the hardbound dustjacket for 
F & Z....  But I've forgotten THAT too.)
