Patriotic songs of the imperium?

[Nurd_boy]

I was doing some thinking (yes, as amazing as it sounds, I do noodle up some ideas...) after hearing a rendition of 'the battle hymn of the republic' and wondering has anyone done (or know..) songs that could be used ?
or, how about...
anyone want to try putting words to:
'Battle hymn of the imperium' (set to music of 'the battle hymn of the republic')
'Star burst Banner' (set to the music of 'star spangled banner')
....

any other patriotic tunes that can be re-worded to an Imperium/travelleresque theme?

"God shave<<<safe our gracious Imp" but zee evil Zolomanie will definitly use it as the base for a drinking song(1)

"Goodby Strephon" (Goodby Johny) for a post 1116 OTU campaign

"French national Anthem" for the Solies. Just replace etranger and French

"Ka-Tsching" (Shania Twain) would fit Imperial nobles

"Japanese national Anthem" Sound good

"This old house" would fit late 3I/Early Rebellion




(1)After all they are modeled on zee evil Germans and those did

My mind works in strange ways (after all, it IS my mind :smirk... the appearance on the list of Shania Twain reminds me of one of my favorite things in David Weber's Honor Harrington series...

"Classical" music, including "high church" music on Grayson is derived from an old-earth music form called "Country and Western"!

Old Hiver traditional travelling song:

"Hive got ah luvverly buncha coconuts......"

I'll get my coat and shut the door on my way out, shall I?

How about the Space Marines' song from Alan Moore's D.R. and Quinch?

"We're Space Marines, we're glorious
We're steadfast, brave and true.
So don't you dirtbags mess with us,
Or this is what we'll do:

"We'll nick your dogs, we'll nuke your schools
We'll stretch you on a rack.
We'll borrow all your garden tools
And never give them back.

"We'll spit at you and call you names
Tip napalm down your shirt.
Your chest will be consumed in flames
And that will really hurt."

Or there's the Ghoyogi anthem from the same:

"Ghoyogi, my Ghoyogi
Home of the brave and free.
Where greenish-grey festoons of slime
Are draped from every tree.

Solomani Anthem (to the tune of Our Country, 'tis for Thee)

The Children of the Earth,
Come forth and take your place,
Among the Stars;
Ours is the burning sun,
and all the stars as one,
For every Human* being
Let Terra sing!

Our native galaxy,
Our sacred Destiny,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and stars
Terra, Dingir and Mars;
My soul with hope then fills,
Among the Stars.

Let starships swell the sky,
Carrying our hopes on high
Towards the Stars;
Let Human souls awake;
The stars are ours to take;
Let guns their silence break,
Our plight prolong.

Our fathers' Galaxy,
Home of Humanity**,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our star be bright,
With Mankind's sacred plight,
Protected by our might,
Mankind's Party.

* 'Human' here means Solomani humans only.
** In Solomani terminology, 'Humanity'=Solomani; 'Humaniti'=all Terragen humans.
