Or something along the lines of "Springtime for Hiter"

JAFFNA, Sri Lanka (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels -- who already have a national flower and flag for their self-proclaimed state in the parts of the island they control -- are now on a quest for a catchy national anthem.
The Tigers fought for two decades against the Sri Lankan government in a war that left over 64,000 dead until a ceasefire in 2002 left them running their own courts, bank, law school, police, customs department and tax system in areas they control.
"Those who engage themselves in writing the Tamil National Anthem should give life and energy with great importance to express the greatness, the glory and the resources of the Tamil homeland," the Tigers said in an appeal on Friday.
"It should contain 18 lines -- catchy and lively and in pure Tamil."

Would the title of this anthem have the word "boom" in it?
"boom"
Interesting idea. Maybe something about a belt bomb and suicide pill.
How about "Blow Me Up, Buttercup"?
Mulit
O.K. Here's a modest suggestion (it even includes the word "Boom")
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham!
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same
But something's bugging you, something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead
CHORUS:
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)
You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight
We'll go dancing, everything will be all right
CHORUS
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay home instead
Jitterbug
CHORUS
Whatever anthem they come up with, it will require more cowbell...
