Napoleon conquered Egypt and enslaved the jews to build a rocket to shot at North Korea. The soviets intercepted it in the night (hence 'the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air) and killed Napoleon and freed the jews after raping their women and children.

So they won the war.

It's not about Ceausescu, we're actually only using this one since 1990. Maybe that's one of the issues, we've changed the anthem a lot in the past.

It's mostly about the message, people think it's too sad, even depressive and anachronistic.
