5. Canada!

I love "O', Canada!". :)

6. France! The Marseillaise is the best war whoop for liberty there is,

from beginning to end, full of revolutionary fire. To hear it is to want to go out & bayonet a royalist -- or their BFEE/Rethugnican equivalent.

The nearest American equivalent is the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Which is far, far better than "the Star Spangled Banner".

7. Russia.

Of course, I got to know it as the theme from 'Hunt for Red October'.
