The British national anthem. If I set out to write the most dire, dreary dirge imaginable, I couldn't top our national anthem. Singing it induces a kind of mental torpor that could be used as anaesthesia.
We could have had Land of Hope and Glory, or Jerusalem, or even Rule Britannia. All three of them make me want to stand up and sing my lungs out with misty-eyed affection for Blighty. The national anthem just makes me want to sit down and die miserably. It is simply awful.
You know, you got me! I actually do quite like The Sex Pistols version. There's a version of Mr. Sandman by a band called Gob that I really like too. I don't know if it passes for punk but I think that's what they were aiming for. Well, until the last thirty seconds.
What is your least favourite song?
