At least two. UK(duh) and USA. The lyrics are sketchy even more so for the USA one.

Brazil because I live here

Would probably recognize USA and France and maybe UK but don't ask me to sing them.

US and Canada, you hear both and every NHL game.

I could probably recognize a couple others if I heard them, but I couldn't hum them off hand.

Let's see...

I currently know the melody parts for:
Canada (English and French)
US
UK
France
Brazil
Sweden (two verses)
Jordan
Germany

I currently know bass parts for:
Canada
US
UK
Germany
Singapore
Russia (post-USSR words)
Switzerland (in German)
Kenya

I used to know a part (melody or bass) for, but have forgotten (but could pick it up again pretty quickly if needed):
Netherlands
Switzerland (in French)
Belgium (part French, part Flemish)
Norway
Denmark
Oman

I'm probably forgetting some, but that's all I can think of off-hand. In each case, I know the words as well as the music. I sing in the choir for an annual show that features acts from around the world, and the finale of that show always includes singing the anthem of one or two of the countries present that year (along with O Canada), from memory and in the original language. After a decade of doing that, I've picked up one or two.

Brazil because I live here


I had to learn Brazil's anthem for this year's show, and it's by far the hardest one I've ever had to learn. It's just so long and there are so many words crammed in there. I managed to learn it in time for the show, but it was a challenge, and I was very much carrying most of the rest of the choir on it.
