When it began being sung(badly) at Football games and car races it lost some of it’s glory.

“You could always use the fake East German National Anthem from “Top Secret”
Hail, hail East Germany
Land of fruit and grape
Land where you’ll regret
If you try to escape
No matter if you tunnel under or take a running jump at the wall Forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn’t first.
Roseanne Barr's singing certainly didn't help...
