Songs that describe our royals

[GlitteringTiaras]

Britain:

• God Save the Queen
• Zadok the Priest
• Land of Hope and Glory

[Verde Esmeralda]

The Dutch national anthem, Het Wilhelmus, makes me think of W-A and Máxima (mentioning Adiós Nonino is just sooooo over)

Our Country 'tis of Thee isn't a royal song, but the tune is the same as God Save the Queen. So I usually think of Queen Elizabeth.

[BurberryBrit]

Widor's Organ symphony #5

[TheTruth]

Diana :

- "Candle In the Wind" by Elton John of course
- "Lady" by Lenny Kravitz
- "Just a Girl" by No Doubt
- "Killer Queen" by Queen

I remember the video clip of Abba singing Dancing Queen for Silvia, I think it was before her wedding.

[RoyalProtocol]

God Save The Queen, Zadock The Priest, I was Glad, Praise My Soul The King of Heaven, Through all the Changing scenes of Life, Land of Hope and Glory, Jerusalem, I vow to thee my country, the list goes on.

The same hymns appear over and over again at Royal Events.

I was just thinking of that! Those lyrics seem to be written for her. I love that song, besides, its played at Red Sox games, so it's just a great song anyway! I think of Princess Caroline everytime I hear it.

When Mexico Was A Monarchy With Carlota And Maximiliano, The People Dedicate A Song For Her: "adios Mama Carlota". And A Italian Singer Dedicated A Song To Queen Paola, I Dont Remember This Name, I Belive That Is "dulce Paola", I Am Sorry, I Dont Remember The Complete Name Of This Song. So As Elton John Dedicate "candle In The Wind" To Princess Diana.

Woman by John Lennon for Princess Diana.

There's a rather lovely song, which I tend to sing rather loudly after too many Port and Lemons, called "Liasons" which is from the score of "A Little Night Music" and mentions both the King of the Belgians and the Duke of Ferrara. After a minute of script, here's Regina Resnik singing it. Truly spine-tingling and definately one for the drunks among you;

Metallica "Nothing Else Matters" -Charles and Camilla

You do know what that song is about, right? It's not exactly a happy one.


My choice:
Flashing Lights by Kanye West could apply to all royals around the world.
