What song or piece of music makes you think of a country—that isn’t its national anthem ?

Something from Brain Salad Surgery ELP
At first I thought it was only about Israel until i learned much later that it was a very old British anthem.

@Pfuzylogic I understand a lot of people would prefer it to “God Save the Queen (King)". But back when ELP first performed it, some of the older generation took offense ! 🤨 It’s a beautiful version.

Maybe similar to Jimi Hendrix and the National Anthem.
