At basically all parties, even apparently in other places / countries:
If you do not take the whole schnapps, you will not get half a schnapps (shot glass) later. That's just what the song is about.Silly song, but so what.
Edit:
They sing it wrong but the same thing there,so what.
(they miss the most important thing in the song, that is, to take the whole schnapps)

Well, obviously. And major evidence that the flag is the wrong colour. snollebolleke, I need help, I think google is going to mess it up... ...oh, it says curmudgeon. :-s That doesn't make sense. need context. ...Is de koning an old curmudgeon?
...PS: ok, got it.

Yes it's certainly quite a horrible tune. ;-)
With Radar Love however one downside is that it's in English, which perhaps doesn't really fit the idea of a national song...
Maybe this could be a good option?
It captures the blending of the Dutch melancholy and perpetual optimism so beautifully, i don't think it could have been created in any other country.

for my district the answer is one only
for my city I would say this one (discussable though)
for my state, it's a little hard.
for my country it's impossible

Aha,
I had guessed that you would mention this:
I would agree with Winds Of Change. it seams strange since it is in english, but the song clearly simbolizes the recent history.
sad btw, how Germany's music culture is basicly american since the 80ies or so. If you ask me the Schlager is better than Germans think it is. Griechischer Wein is a fantastic song for example

It's a song about the fall of the Soviet Union, the first lines of the lyrics are "Follow the Moskva, down to Gorky Park". As an unofficial anthem for Germany that might be a little unintuitive...

It is more about the fall of the big wall for Germans

It's not, i just quoted you part of the lyrics...
The song was released in two versions, English and Russian.
Wind of Change (Scorpions song) - Wikipedia
Edit: there were ofcourse broader implications of the USSR falling, and the song certainly resonated in Germany for this reason. But both the original intention of the song as well as the lyrics are only about Russia.

I understand it seams a little strange. I guess if the song was in German, it wouldn't work. Personaly I lived in West-Berlin when the wall fell, and though my english was pretty good, I could never understand that russian stuff in the lyrics. it was more about the "wind of change"
