The obvious answer is Rule Britannia but I can’t find Rule Britannia in .wav format. I’m working on a PowerPoint presentation for someone (this is so not my job, but oh well) and one of the slides has a picture of the UK flag. This slide needs to be accompanied by Rule Britannia.
Since I can’t find Rule Britannia can you help me think of another song that screams ‘Britain’ when you hear it?
Thanks ever so much.
“Parklife” by Blur.
OK, I didn’t look that up because Blur’s a metal band, no?
Help?
(Sorry.)
No.
The question is who your target audience is. “Land of Hope and Glory” a.k.a. Pomp and Circumstance (#2, IIRC) by Elgar will stir the hearts of Brits everywhere, but will make Americans think of graduation ceremonies.
You might also try “God Save the Queen”, but you still run the risk with the “America the Beautiful” association.
There’s also “Jerusalem” (C.H. Parry, orch. Elgar), although that refers more to England than Great Britain or the UK (if you care about that sort of thing), and Americans probably won’t know it.
Failing that, try “All You Need Is Love” by the Beatles. Or you could go with Blur’s “Song 2”, which won’t make them think of England but could start a mosh pit.
My mistake, then, ruadh.
p ruber, Help’s already in this presentation, believe it or not!
God Save the Queen is the music for My Country, tis of Thee so that’s out.
Anyone else?
jr8, I see you posted while I was typing my post. It seems that I’m up the proverbial creek, doesn’t it?
Oh well.
Okay, these are dumb suggestions, but here goes:
Winchester Cathedral
England Swings
I’m Henry the 8th
Those are all pop songs, but what the heck?
I think I have Rule Britannia as an MP3. It could be converted to a .wav file, couldn’t it?
How about the British Grenadiers’ March? It’s most often associated with the Revolutionary War, but it might work for you.
Or maybe something from the Sex Pistols?
(Nitpick: the song that put new lyrics to “God Save the Queen”, though the first line is “My country 'tis of thee” is titled “America”, which is different from “America the Beautiful”. )
Does it have to be .wav? There appears to be MP3 versions on various sites.
Can it? Anyone?
I’m not sure, jr8, but I know PowerPoint won’t play a MIDI file. I’ll try an .mp3 and post back.
I’m sorry. PowerPoint will play a MIDI but I can’t edit a MIDI file in sndrec32.exe and it can only be a few seconds long.
Yes, I caught my error after posting. Apologies all around.
I could do you an .omg file, but PP won’t play that format either. It may be wav or nothing. 
Ruadh nailed it.
Parklife by Blur.
It was the first song that came to mind when you asked for the MOST BRITISH song. Now had you said “what piece of music…” I would have agreed with you that Rule Britannia is an obvious choice.
as for sound editors… download Audacity it’s freeware and brilliant.
I third “Parklife”, and offer “Victoria” by the Kinks.
I’m pretty sure Easy CD can convert MP3 to .wav (or just about anything else).
Oh good lord, I’ve been having a not-so-nice time with Audacity. If I import this flippin’ MIDI one more time, I will scream!
Some more ideas
