I like that one Elton John song about being made in England.  Forget what it's called.

"Obviously not a Berkut-commanded armored column.  They're not all brewing."- CdM

"We've reached one of our phase lines after the firefight and it smells bad—meaning it's a little bit suspicious... Could be an amb—".

I think it was called "The Bus That Wouldn't Slow Down".  :P

Nah, it was called "Made in England".

Um it is a song about the U.K. and we are talking about England.

I know, but I was not serious.

PS: not so serious ones (bit less so), River Kwai March or Colonel Bogey March. :) Still not purely English enough but then so is Hail to England, since it is from the US heavy metal band Manowar.  :hmm:

A few people suggested God Save the Queen.  I just assumed they meant the Sex Pistols version.

Just play God Save the Queen - the verse about beating up the Scots.  :D

QuoteLord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crush!
God save the Queen!
