Der er et yndigt land (Denmark) Parody, ThDubya

Don't miss my other anthems! So far, the parodies for the UK (twice), Canada, Germany, Norway, France, the US, Russia, Italy, Sweden, China, Japan, Israel, North Korea, Australia and many more have been released.

Der er et yndigt land ("There is a lovely land") is the (civil) national anthem of Denmark. The lyrics were written in 1819 by Adam Oehlenschläger. When first published, the anthem had 12 verses, but this was shortened to the first, third, fifth, and last verse in later editions. The music was composed in 1835 by Hans Ernst Krøyer. Later, Thomas Laub and Carl Nielsen each composed alternative melodies, but neither of them has gained widespread adoption, and today they are mostly unknown to the general population.

I mean no offence to the countries parodied. In fact, most of these countries are my favorites, and I wish them all my best. Denmark is among the top 10 of nations I like.

I am very aware that the power generating structure depicted in the video is actually a wind turbine and not a windmill.

I do not promise anything, but if you want me to make a parody of YOUR national anthem, your country could be next, given that it is a nation of some international or historical significance. Requests should be made as comments to my videos; i check my PM inbox less often!

Du glømte røde pølser! Hvordan kan du glemme det?!

[jemmytaveras]

yo! Where's Scooby Doo @ he's Danish too :)

[ThDubya]

@jemmytaveras Hehehe. True enough. Or perhaps Marmaduke should be in it?

[AstraneaMiss]

Wonderful! Too bad the thumbnail pic doesn't show the Danish flag like with many of the other videos, though. :P

[ThDubya]

@AstraneaMiss Yes. As you might not know, when you have uploaded a video, there is a choice between three thumbnail pictures taken from certain places in the video (one quite early, one at the middle and one near the end.) The only way to really control what thumbnail picture one can ultimately get is to dump some video frames of the desired picture in the middle of the video, but this messes the video up in some situations, so I avoid it. Too bad the choice of thumbnail is not completely "free"

@ThDubya Would it be possible to do a parody of 'Hen Wlad fy Nhadau', the Welsh anthem?
