La Marseillaise, French National Anthem (Fr/En)

This makes my eyes water--transports me back to 1793. I suppose the Tyrannous Enemy whose Blood is Impure must be Austrians, particularly Habsburgs, and especially Habsburgs who are Archduchesses who are Queens of France  ¡Hail Mme. Guillotine!

Though it's at least as much fun to sing as "Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall," I dislike La Marseillaise more even than I do the similarly ridiculous and stupid (but not so barbarously blood-thirsty) Star Spangled Banner. Still it's funny to hear it sung by a group of French people--proving that they are both noisy and tone-deaf, as we Englishmen have been saying about them for the past several centuries.
