Note that we changed they lyrics - Rio to Rome, because Qantas don't fly to Rio but anyway... This is a good ad. For me, there are three songs that make me feel 'Australian'. This one, from Peter Allen, who barely lived in Australia, Waltzing Matilda - I dunno why but it does and We are Australian.
I don't know what song/s make Danes homesick...

now you inspired me to put my homesick song (which is a commercial for our national carrier) in my blog :)
Then put it on you must. I would be interested in seeing it. And being in the same-ish position to me, I know how it might make you feel!
Midsommervise (Drachmann/Lange-Müller) version, Vær velkommen herrens år, Det er koldt herude, and songs like that pretty much did it for me when I was living abroad. To the point where I'd start singing them under the shower. :)
And, it's not a song, but for some reason, I could stop thinking about the Statoil add: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV9iuH2zjsM
Okay well, for me, it's the US National Anthem (of course) and Lee Greenwood's America, though that's probably not the correct title. Though these days.. I'm not so sure at the moment that I'm "proud to be an American.."
patti: The US anthem is very stirring, possibly the most, although not having much of a vocal range, I find it very hard to sing. I also like the one they sang in The Deer Hunter. Can't remember what it's called.
