That song sucks. It's a second rate pub dirge. I know - I used to play in a
second rate pub band that played in second rate Edinburgh pubs. No evening
was complete without a drunken rendition of 'The Flower". Nothing funnier
than the tweed-clad toffs in the stands at Murrayfield singing lines like "wee
bit hill and glen" in their perfectly enunciated Edinburgh Academy accents.
That used to give me a good larf when I worked as a kid in the parking lots
for international games. Scotland is a country rich in folk song and melody
and we can do sooo much better in selecting an existing song for what has
become, almost, a national anthem.

you never listen to 1000s of the tartan army sing it with passion then
a fantastic song written by a great fantastic scottish hero rip

Boo! Hiss!

Given my choice - I would have Hamish Henderson's Freedom Come All Ye rather than Flower of Scotland.

A number of Scots are pushing for an official national anthem, and Flower is the preference of quite a few of them. I don't get why they don't use Scots Wha Hae--A rousing song that fuels Scottish patriotism, is easy to sing, is in the Scottish dialect, and was penned by Calidonia's Poet Laureate Robert Burns.

[bud]

Sorry for the misspelling--it's still early in the morning.

[Bdove]

The Flower is great for one reason if no other: it gets it up the Ingerlish. That's what it was made to do and that's why we sing it today. Up the Scots!

How sad. I thought we'd outgrown that, but apparently not. Pathetic really.
