Glorious As Strawberryland

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

Written by the Patriotism Angel before the events of Season 1, is the national anthem of the world Strawberryland and is set to 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, being sung and covered in many ways.

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 forming a band.

It was stated to be King Sugar Cube's favorite song, which is what made him decree it as the anthem. To this day it is still one of his best decisions made as king.
