South Sudan Needs A Better National Anthem

Of course we wish the people of Sudan good luck in this week's referendum to decide whether or not the southern part of the country secedes to become its own nation. A vote for independence seems likely. While there's much discussion about what the new country's name should be, a national anthem has already been written and recorded. It's called "Land of Cush," a reference to a Biblical kingdom in the area. Unfortunately, it sucks. Before anything becomes official, they should talk to Dr. Dre about the possibility of using his song.

Or Iron & Wine.

Or Radiohead.

Or Leonard Cohen, or Rush, or Pitbull, or Deep Purple or Good Charlotte… I'm not going to get into all that. Jesus, who hasn't written a song called "Anthem?"
