Is the Lebanese national anthem not funny? It is hilarious, I think. Grandiose and cheesy; typical of Lebanese cultural productions. Look at the lyrics: "We all are for the Homeland; we all are for sublimity and the flag." When we were kids, we sang it to different lyrics: "We all are for the stomach; we all are for pots and plates." And it rhymes in Arabic; you had to be there.
