Glorious As Strawberryland

Glorious As Strawberryland is a recurring song from "The True Story of Strawberry Shortcake".

It is the national anthem of Strawberryland and uses the melody of Scotland the Brave. The song is frequently sung to open special events or to celebrate big milestones. It's also one of the most famous songs in Strawberryland.

Every time it's sung, there's usually a music accompaniment, usually by a recording of an instrumental or a group of God's angels.
