I have a few...

A Tuvan "Xöömii" (Throat singing) Internationale by Huun-Huur-Tu

This one's really... what's a good word... primal. Yeah that's it. Primal. It's barely recognizable as the Internationale, but you can (rather contrivedly) sing along with it in English. But please don't. I think that only works if you're Tuvan...

I also have a bizarre live French Rock version, somewhere... Can't post it right now.

Robert Wyatt version (this one's english)-
This one reminds me of the Terminator theme or something along those lines.
"I'll be back... with my comrades!" :D

And even those who don't like DPRK will have to love'em for this.

:) I don't even like rap, but I love this.

ARISE, my love, and the last waltz let us face.

There's more, I'm sure, but it's all I have handy.

That OPPA one is in Korean, right? Cool stuff.

I actually had that Korean one, but never actually sat throught the whole thing before.

The Internationale by Billy Bragg is the best, IMO. For English, in any case.

Sing it in the shower with some soul.

Go ahead and say "arise" fifty times if you like.
Strech it out, clap your hands, do what feels right..The revolution needs some soul!

That's what we need! A funk version! Or Acid Jazz.

And... the Billy Bragg version is... well...
It kinda reminds me of Dennis the Peasant on Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"Help, help! I'm bein' repress'd!"

What better English version is there?
The instrumental intro to the Billy Bragg version sounds a little Hollywood villain theme-ish, doesn't it?

I didn't even realize that this was you, Jeremy, until I looked in this thread again.
Hi... you fucking trot. =D
