Scott Jagow delves into the origins and histories of various national anthems. The U.S. anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," is derived from the British "Anacreontic Song," a drinking tune. Japan's "Kimigayo" boasts the oldest lyrics, dating back to the 9th or 10th century. Mexico's anthem, "Himno Nacional Mexicano," was created in 1853 through a contest. France's "La Marseillaise" is known for its graphic imagery. The Cook Islands' anthem, written in 1982, is peaceful and reflective of its South Pacific location. Greece has the longest anthem with 158 stanzas, while Uganda's is the shortest at 44 seconds. Saint Helena's unofficial anthem, "My St. Helena Island," was written by Dave Mitchell, an American DJ inspired by postcards of the island.
