Musically Speaking, Which Version of "O Canada" is Best?

Or I should ask, "which version do you like best?"

Links and info and why you think it is best, please.

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Meaningful, it has bits and pieces of every Province. It syncs perfectly with the audio in very clever and imaginative ways. The images are all high quality and display the beauty, the splendor, the warmth, the strength and pride of the people and the the robustness of the land.

It is an awesome, truly awesome work of art.

Where else but in this thread would you find in so few examples such excellence?

It's like Canadians are quietly bursting with love and pride of and for their country and all you need do is ask the right question and all that love and pride and beauty is laid out before you to behold.

I am floored.

Thank you.

Don't know him, just a random stumbling one day on youtube and I bookmarked it.

Having grown up so close to Canada and being involved in hockey, we heard the Canadian National Anthem quite a bit growing up.

Actually, I spent way too much time trolling the Bob and Doug MacKenzie stuff on YouTube before finding that one. It is a gem.

I bookmarked it too!

I love America but I think O Canada gets the gold medal for kick ass national anthems. I have a few bookmarked as a matter of fact. That's what prompted this thread. I didn't like my old ones and wanted some better ones to replace them with.

Yours is a keeper!

Thank you.
