if you ask me to sing any national anthem that I ever might have heard somewhere, I will probably ask you how much you drank. I really just know fragments of the o canada and the star spangled banner, I even can't remember God save the queen or la marseillaise. Not even my own hymns (the national and the one of my federal home state) will come to me properly.
But as of late my head developed this strange kind of habit to play these anthems - with lyrics. I don't know where they come from and don't ask me to recite them, they are in there somewhere, buried deep but not deep enough.
this can get quite distracting when focusing on reading the news and "and the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air" starts off in my head. or reading something about a prison and "O Canada, we stand on guard for thee" fills my head.
Sometimes, this phenomenon starts untriggered and I walk down the street to a cheery version of "Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol, Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann". That's the irish one, btw.
I don't really know how that happens or when it will stop. If nothing else it's amusing and diverse, so who am I to complain.
the conclusion I draw from this is probably: I like the German anthem much more than the Austrian one...but then again, they stole it from us...

and NOW I'm worried about you.
don't worry honey, it's just a phase...
I am happy to say that the phase is over and that I'm back to normal tunes in my head :)
no one's happier than me that it really was just a phase...
