This Guile's Theme should really become the new anthem of the USA

[Master Mi]

This is pretty much one of the best remixes of Guile's Theme from the Street Fighter video game series that I've been able to find over the years:
 

I'm sure it would also make a really good US national anthem.

No pompously patriotic words that would make even a ladybug take cover.
No one who radically snores away during the pretty verbose anthem anymore.
No half-assed messages that have no meaning for the rich banana hoarders anyway.

Just a really good beat that might shake up this shady Shadaloo organization, which has apparently made inroads into the governments of this world.

...

I guess Guile's Theme really goes with everything. ))

A national anthem has to have words. It can’t just be an instrumental song.

That is usually the case, but there is no obligation to add lyrics to a national anthem or other anthem.

The term “hymn” probably originates from ancient Greek (ὕμνος - hýmnos) and literally translates as “sound structure.”
Historically, hymns were mostly solemn songs of praise in honor of the gods and great heroes, which were later adopted by Christians, among others, to honor their God.

In the general current meaning of the word “hymn", I found the following definition: “a solemn song or instrumental piece of a devotional character.”

This is perhaps one reason why a few nation states still do not play a national anthem with vocals (i.e., only instrumental) on official occasions, or why there are even states that do not have any lyrics in their national anthem, such as the national anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina:
 

Sounds pretty much like an oldschool Final Fantasy intro.

And if you want to put it that way, music is already a kind of language in its own right, which, apart from the obvious acoustic means, is understood primarily on an emotional level.

...

I would also prefer a way more interesting instrumental composition for my country (Germany), because the lyrics (except perhaps for the GDR anthem) are generally really awful and narrow-minded, and trigger a reflexive territorial behavior in many people here that sometimes ends in chaos and destruction.

Perhaps one simply has to write an extraordinary composition for one's country, in which, for example, the focus is not primarily on one's own transient nation, but rather on the powerful connection between humans and nature, which shapes the fate of the whole human world quite independently of national borders...

... and which does not make people so easily susceptible to the waged wars of the high society, the large corporations and their more or less bought up governments in their own country.
