But yeah, on the topic of France and its national symbols, there is something pretty hilarious about hearing an entire stadium of soccer fans sing about impure blood soaking their fields, and all that jazz. I never did get just whose blood was supposed to be impure... maybe this is why Voldemort got a French name?

Not to mention coming to slit the throats of their girlfriends...Impure blood is an odd way to refer to an alleged tyrant you're seeking to overthrow, when it is an old aristocracy. I think, like "Anyway you want it," or "Bad Romance", it was sold by one good line of music. Even a Francophobe must feel a bit of something at "Aux armes, citoyens/Formez vos battalions!" It's still a long way from the inanity of rhyming "reign o'er us" with glorious and victorious.
