Hey Slavs!

The Slavic people have been in a lot of turmoil for the last few centuries. There homeland seems to always be shifting a little bit, and it's generally spread across a couple different countries just to make things more interesting (and plenty of people more dead for no good reason).

So they have an ethnic anthem, and since Slavs are ethnically dominant in several countries at any given time, most of those countries, currently a lot of itchy little hot spots like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, and a bunch others that not too long ago were Yugoslavia and that change so often I'm afraid that if I type them it'll be wrong by the time you get this, also share the same anthem.

Big set up for a kinda tiny joke, but here goes: you know what their anthem of nearly 200 years is called?

"Hey, Slavs!"

I kid you not. Does that make you laugh? Because it makes me laugh, and I don't know if it does because it's funny, or I'm completely insane. I don't mean it as a jab at Slavic people, it's just such a blunt phrasing to use as a patriotic anthem. It's like if they sung at ball games in America not "Star Spangled Banner" but "Sup, 'Mericans!" (Thanks to Steph for that!) If some guy said that at a comedy club I think I'd laugh, but I'm a little worried that I'd be the only one. Laughing. I mean.
