Because this is a celebration of Olympic anthems. East Germany doesn’t exist and they don’t have a current NOC. If the anthem is the same as current Germany, I can except it.

 

Then call if Top 3 Favorite Olympic National Anthems.

 

However, seeing how plenty of others have mentioned non-eligible anthems, it seems like people would prefer to pick their national anthems with no such restrictions.

I’m going to have a commonwealth themed one in 2021 or 2022 to celebrate the games.  can get chosen then. I quite like “Jerusalem” by the way. Scotland’s got an odd song they use too.

"Flower of Scotland" which replaced "Scotland the Brave" fairly recently.

Please keep in mind that I mostly judge national anthems based on the music itself and not so much the lyrics.

Flower of Scotland, especially when played with bagpipes and sung by thousands of people (like during some medal ceremonies in Glasgow 20something), is one of the best pieces of music I've heard

I prefer Scotland the Brave which is really jaunty (and plenty of bagpipes). I particularly like it when it is linked to the Black Bear. I find Flower of Scotland a bit of a tedious dirge, but then we all have different tastes.

I absolutely hate lyrics with violence or crazy things like "I would die for you", so Italy, Uruguay and France are out of contention right off the bat.
