Adam Hills Australian National Anthem

[ljmuzza]

This is so hard to sing without accidently starting to sing working class man

[malayka13]

@ljmuzza other way around with me - i'm not australian and i remember the lyrics of the anthem only if i sing it to this tune :)

[bitcloud1]

Thumbs up who wants Barnsy to do a cover of this!

[lovemaker732]

welcome on my channel

[dreadking75]

the second verse isnt actually beneath our radiant southern cross. That's the third verse. The second is very british which is why we dont sing it.

[ash123is123awsum123]

I really strongly believe that this SHOULD be our anthem. :)

[xelvargx]

FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[59771006]

Adam Hills had a minor hit with this version of "Advance Australia Fair".

[inlovewithamalfoy]

omfg hahahaha 

[wasdkilla]

HE IS UGLY SORRY :p

[Ocicat101]

@wasdkilla AND YOU AREN'T?

[PolgarGM]

Adam, you are brilliant.

[rminister1971]

Hillsy you legend.

[Bundykat78]

This is so f#@king good!!!! It definitely should be our national anthem!!!

[nphanlon1973]

working class man was written by a canadian

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

Now that is young and free!

[bigwatto95]

I wonder if I'm the only one who knows the 3rd verse...With Christ our head and cornerstone, we'll build our nation's might...

Hahaa this should be the anthem though, so patriotic!

[qqs764]

@bigwatto95 That's not a verse in the anthem. Not an official one. The Christian schools saw fit to make one up though.

[bigwatto95]

@qqs764 It wasn't made up by Christian schools. And I know it ain't official. I was indirectly asking if anyone else knows the 3rd verse.

[aaronmcintosh26]

@bigwatto95

shit mate we have a third verse haha?

[bigwatto95]

@aaronmcintosh26 Yeah mate, but it's unofficial hahaha. They teach it in Christian schools haha

[aaronmcintosh26]

@bigwatto95

poor bastards

[YOURfaceHAHification]

@bigwatto95 At my old school we just sung the first verse and that was it haha!

[bigwatto95]

This is amazing. Imagine Barnesy singin' this at the NRL grand final...!!

[YOURfaceHAHification]

COME OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR, WE HAVE YOU GIRT

[TheeBalladOfMonaLisa]

LOL. Adam has the right idea.

[bella3718122]

Oh he's so hot, smart and can sing. I have found my husband!

[ReplayMasterOfTime]

I endorse this 100% we need a new tune, and this is it

[wyldstallyns101]

now thats a national anthem to be proud of :)

[aprilblenk]

I know the second verse. But only because we used to have to sing it at our Primary school asemblys every day.

[NecroReaperX]

@aprilblenk same here... what a joke lol...

[likemygrog]

thumbs up for those who want thsi to replace the old anthem

[myfastvh]

[glyons1]

That is now the greatest national anthem in the world ever.

[jaci27]

@PopLuverGal same here!!!

[xXgamefreak129xX]

If only this was the real national anthem !

[LoveRidePeace]

lol he's actually a pretty good singer ahaha

[LoveRidePeace]

I like adam hills minus the jacket haha =)

[RozzieRozdog68]

This should so be the Aussie National Anthem!!!!

[ipsilon160]

Jimmy Barnes would be proud to sing the Aussie national anthem this way and the people would stand up beer in hand, belting out the national anthem with him like anyone would normally do at a Cold Chisel or Jimmy Barnes concert

[figbat1]

i just love you so much adam thrills. thorpedo would like your mobile number.

[Adam060756]

This pisses all over our shoddy official version of the Australian National Anthem.

Adam Hills, you are great!

[naurz]

LOL sooo true not alot know the 2nd verse



[tawdabomb]

[justthething1984]

This song or "I still call Australia home" or anything by John Williamson

[mayhemwrestler]

[1939PlymouthRatRod]

Barnze carbage man sound like balls caught in a rabbit trap.

[1939PlymouthRatRod]

Oh those lips.

[HoppyNinja]

YEAHHH ADAM!!! XD

[Marela9]

I love this. And the man can sing. :D

The audience was a little too quiet.

[andyboy71093]

listening to this increased my "girth"

[Nadja2303]

oh i love adam hills and i love australia!!!! (i am german, but i hope to move to australia some day) :-)

[Rachulie]

can he not sing or is it just because he's australian?

[quaileen123]

@Rachulie hes paying out barnzie. have never heard barnzie sing? ever?

[Rachulie]

@quaileen123 no. never even heard the name 

[quaileen123]

@Rachulie Jimmie Barnes. He was the lead singer of cold chisel and then went solo.

[Rachulie]

@quaileen123 yep. never heard of that either.

must be an aus thing

[kaiyam1]

I vote we change it, seriously. LOL!!

[barricader6]

@kaiyam1 Crap anthem

[Mudly71]

Hills is a Legend.

And yes I to get goosebumps :)

[Troobudd]

i vote this as our anthem

[computerwidow]

This actually gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it!!!!

makes me smile & enjoy singing along... unlike the drone along of when this song is mostly sung!

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY to all the proud aussies out there!!!! We rock!!!

[Stutch1983]

i woulda been up the front pumping my fists singing to this, its off its head.

[Prime4571]

It just shows the genius of Adam Hills.

[LittleMizzRandom]

THIS VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER !!!

[KHsonicdude23]

If this was our national anthem, it'd be infinitely better than the current one.

[livstar93]

love this so much. he aint a bad singer. and very good looking ^^

[host4678]

hmmm. I wouldn't mind singing this at school instead of the other one...

[kitosborn]

Our anthem has a second verse?

*googles our anthem*

Oh wow, it has like five verses... >.<

[KaohiWaianae]

Not farmiliar with 'piss out' but thanks, I thought that was funny. No disrespect to Australians. Jan 3, 2011 Happy New Year-- Enjoy!

[pukavita]

@KaohiWaianae "taking the piss out of" someone is the aussie way of saying "making fun of" someone

[coolmovie88]

i know this is supposed to be funny, which it is but i think this is a legitimately good idea!!

[12mac88]

i would have loved seeing webber winning a gp with working class man in the background

[AustralianAuzzie]

we have you gurt, i remember watching this on tv 2 years ago and wanted to find it and i did....

[aprilblenk]

Adam Hills for PM

[harbas94]

21 people dont have a national anthem...

[KatieTurner1997]

I love this! And like you said tekkaoz not many countries could do this. Ahh gold!

[BeuPratten]

"we have you gurt"

[TazZdespO]

this is why you tube needs a love button

[XoChloeBunnyoX]

i wish it was our anthem xD

[m0mmu]

who knew adam could sing this well…..

[GottaLoveTheHorrors]

...suprisingly this works...I vote for this to be our new national anthem

[Lizzie549]

He is such a nice guy in person and completely nuts, but that's what makes him and all his songs so amazing :D

[janabean09]

[verolynnella]

[oshadak]

Adam Hills' a bloody good singer!

[LunaSw1tch90]

oh my god!! he's fantastic i love the way he sings loud ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR!!!

Australians r amazing!!! i'm italian n one day ill move to Australia just to listen to this great mate (and his beautiful aussie accent)

:D

[flickr95]

ahahah i am so proud to be aussie already and you just made me ten times more :) couldn't stop laughing

[SgtKendick]

@AustralianAreRacists we are racist. cause twats like you :)

[roseofthebrook]

@l1ll3sl3y

At risk of pointing out that you got your own national anthem wrong... it's girt BY sea...

Just shows how boring the tune is, that it just gets mumbled along.... Just like England's national anthem.....

[CGwonder]

He is so god damn wonderful and sexy it's not even true!

[kwetzler624]

Adam Hills is amazing! I'm American (sad, but true) and I can imagine the uproar if someone were to do this sort of thing with our national anthem. Why? Because, when it comes to the symbols of our country, Americans are clinically insane. There's no way around the fact that we have a terrible anthem. The lyric is three badly structured sentences set to a drinking song. Adam, if you're out there, rewrite our anthem immediately! Please!

[crazymisscarlza]

@AustralianAreRacists

Autralian's are racist???? what does that make you then???

[crazymisscarlza]

best national anthem ever!!!

[Kellie4bz]

@AustralianAreRacists oh yeah? and where r u from? America? So what we're racist, but we are just letting out our feelings. So piss off and leave us alone. Coz seriously, i would way rather Australian shit than American shit. So get a life, and if you dont like us, why would you watch something with AUSTRALIA in the name of it?

[wickednesspluss]

@AustralianAreRacists HAHA, can you?

[coldethyl86]

@AustralianAreRacists

Mybe you're right about the spacecraft (for now), but....

Hornet STOL

Holden

Tilbrook

Austral

...to name a few

you're a dick head

[sarahv748]

@AustralianAreRacists

Hey, if you don't like us, why do you bother to watch an AUSTRALIAN comedian, doing an AUSTRALIAN song version of an AUSTRALIAN anthem?

Speaking like a "typical" aussie: BUGGER OFF MATE!!!

[shezza343]

21 people hate working class man 

[DNX73R]

Why isn't the audience just going mad?

[LunaSw1tch90]

@DNX73R that's what i was thinking!

im italian and i was singing this out loud!!!

if someone sang my anthem like he does i'd probably get mad :D

[WatMarl]

@DNX73R because australians can joke about themselves.

[briangodfather]

@MattySP34Ks you keep believing that

[napkinsoup]

SO AWESOME!!! I makes me LAUGH HARD &&& I actually wana sing it haha! our anthem seriously sucks! THIS on tha ohta hand is PURE AWESOME-NESS hahah = D ..WOOO! 

[aprilblenk]

This is FANTASTIC! Plz plz PLZ MAKE THIS OUR Anthem! I woud love to sing this every day istead of the one we have now!

[Kellie4bz]

@aprilblenk i agree! this should be our anthem!

[ohwnosrepeht]

When Australia becomes a republic, this would be awesome.

[sikokiller12]

wow this anthem is inspiring

i mean Americans get this /watch?v=UzDDJm27vmc

and we get this lol

[ouiseylou]

WOW!!! that had me in stitches, awesomenesssssss :D

[essendonFC4eva]

This guy is an awesome performer. He is funny and can sing act and everything.

Very proud to call him oour own!

[Tcrumpen]

Who knew he could do impro so well, i wanted him to come on with a guitar and do an awesome guitar solo, if only he could do that for our NA (British)

[ouiseylou]

@Tcrumpen ah, but we have Bill Bailey for that :P

[FandPrulethesky]

Adam mate, you've made me want to move to Australia

[ManBearPig242]

Awesome but bogan

[Changeling9au]

ROFL!



[crazywigdude]

its awesome more interesting than the original.. wouldent it be awesome to hear play at the london olympics???

[HardbeatAcolyte]

If anyone's interested, I've composed a short, 'epic' symphonic reinterpretation of our national anthem in minor key and uploaded it, if you care to watch/comment/rate:

/watch?v=miXIl5ks4Wg

[kbahboh]

now imagine if thats how we sung our NA?

we wouldve been the coolest country on earth

imagine at the world rugby finals?OMG fucken epic

[VintageRevival]

oh my god. this would be freakin' epic!

[alovejokes]

the first one was quite bad but the rock one was alot better lol

[semsph]

it sooo should be changed to this!!

[bindobud]

I will never sing the national anthem the same way again :] I honestly think that this should be our new national anthem, the only problem is the little kids and teenagers who aren't familiar with this song, which I think is so sad, everyone should know Working Class Man :]

[000Barbz]

@bindobud So true!!!!

[tekkaoz]

This is why Australia is the best nation on Earth, how many countries can take the piss out of their own national anthem and have the vast vast majority of people laugh about it rather then threaten? Could you imagine what would have happened if this happened in the US? Or France?

[awkerrigan]

@tekkaoz will yanks would throw a hissy, french couldnt give a fuck cos the tend to avoid confrontation 

[crazymisscarlza]

@tekkaoz

i rekon world war three woulda broken out. well probably not but u get the picture :)

[3274030]

@tekkaoz or Saudi Arabia hahah

[Fatmanspicnic]

@tekkaoz or the UK?

[DifferentGirl3]

@tekkaoz England? England is excellent at taking the piss out of itself!

[tekkaoz]

@DifferentGirl3 It would have to be given it's cricket team. ;P

[DifferentGirl3]

@tekkaoz I stay out of the cricket news.....with good reason xD I think our government makes a big contribution to British comedy too!

[dacat]

@tekkaoz

Very few countries have such bad national anthems....

[Botie2]

Put it to a referendum.

[heysteph99]

What do we have to do to make this our australian anthem?

i love it...we need it for the rugby world cup next year.

[YazminoBambino913]

FIT.... That is all I have to say =]

[rc0ll]

Definitely Australia's next referendum

[chokchipkookie]

please. PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASEE put this on ITUNES!!! I LOVE YOU ADAM, AND US AUSTRALIANS ARE BLOODY AWESOME!!!!!!!

[aleemiles]

I have heard people who have visited Oz and said our anthem is great and tells a story, but I like it when it ROCKS. Imagine how the world would look at us Aussies if our anthem sounded like we were partying. Love it when it sound sound like Barnes.

[DoomBitches]

I am so doing this at school ;D

[Reagz45]

so tru i would scream the song to that ;D

[1234bonesrules]

GO ADAM!!

[leeshajoi]

I might actually move to Australia if this were the anthem.

[bropie9000]

IF that was our national anthem..... THAT'D BE AWESOME!

[TheKelh3]

17 racists have seen this :o

[DottyDotDitto]

@TheKelh3 Or 17 people who either don't like Barnsy or cant take a joke. :)

[CHevnut55]

I'm a Kiwi and this version needs to be used at all events. It beats the shit out of the current one and makes ours sound like shit

[Lipzah]

we need a new anthem the one we have now has far too much referece to Britain in it (if you know the rest of the song there is so much stuff about britain) Australians all let us rejoice for we are young and free we've golden soils and wealth for toil our home is girt by sea our land abounds in natures gifts of beauty rich and rare in history's page let ever stage advance Australia fair in joyfull strains then let us sing Advance Austrlia fair

[Milsy121]

@Lipzah

our anthem is only the 1st verse and 2nd verse even though the 2nd verse has been lost for some unknown reason, just because the rest of the song some brittish refernce to it, our anthem is only the first 2 stanzas, and our anthem has nothing to do with brittain

[TheWanderingAngel]

@Milsy121 - Seriously we've fucked Britan up big time. Part of my family is from Australia...why couldn't I have been from THAT side of the family :(

[makoncrayley]

This is bloody brilliant. This really should be the way the national anthem should be sung. God bless this brilliant country of ours.

[bropie9000]

thats the best vresion of our anthem i've eaver heard!

[ozziegal845]

SO MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO ADAM AND HIS WIFE ALI ON THE BIRTH OF THEIR NEW DAUGHTER, BEATRICE PEARL. THAT LITTLE GIRL IS GOING TO BE AN AMAZING PERSON! <3 <3 <3 xxo

[hippyfriend]

The thumbnail of this looks as if Adam is doing a Freddie Mercury tribute. This isn't a complaint, merely an observation :)

[pr0gram1st]
