The Australian National Anthem

[wilkes85]

One thing I love about Australians is that they stand up for their beliefs. Here in Canada, people are afraid to defend themselves for fear of offending someone. Fuck that..... Don't get me wrong, I love my country, but I wish our people would stick up for themselves!

[Dginger18]

This isn't Land Down Under...

Where's my damn vegemite sandwich?

[EpicFailz56]

So armony!! xD Greetings fro Italy!

[EpicFailz56]

@EpicFailz56 From*

[Schallazar]

(joke). First time I ever heard this. Powerful song, and a well done version. Hope to visit the country someday :)

[MysteryBoy431]

NICE ANTHEM.

[CurrentlyGaming]

Happy Australia Day!

[roccoson621]

HAPPY STRAYA DAY

[El9ino]

WTF is this?? The Crocodile Dundee theme should be the Australian national anthem!! BONZA MATE!!!

[ThePoonerBooner]

girt.

[ugugmug]

Thumbs up if you live in Broome Australia

[alexandroschm]

[msgeniusgirl1]

the crocodile hunter <3 i miss himm

[awesomesause229]

get a life

the british national anthem is well better and it is your royal anthem because don't forget we used to own your shit tip so fuck you

[BasilFawlty4444]

@awesomesause229 You're a twat and you give us Brits a bad name.

Our anthem is unoriginal and bland. At least the Auzzies have added some sophistication to theirs.

You're an ignorant fool; don't you know what Australia has done for us? Try Gallipoli, Tobruk, Burma and Singapore for starters.

[awesomesause229]

@BasilFawlty4444 ur goin over the top i entitled to my opinion so f*ck off fair enough aussie has helped us many times in wars but britain clolonised it and made it what is today

soz if u took offence

[rptopmbv]

LOL funy and stupid song, really LMAO

Australia's problem is that you retarded people really think your country is a super power LOL, on the contrary Australia is a small little tiny shitty country and just a little dog of U.S., your poor dirty small pathetic country has no technology no intelligence that China wants except that you can only live on exporting resources to China, LOL you poor bastards - you proudly call themselves as Aussies - but you should really call yourself Pussies LOL

[BasilFawlty4444]

@rptopmbv Troll.

Leave Australia alone.

[OzDCreatte0]

This is one of the most beautiful anthems I have ever heard.

[paolotagliano]

dislike our anthem greatly.

[BLOSSOMPARKPARKERS]

this is shit.

and im from australia

[vulo1234455]

@BLOSSOMPARKPARKERS How disrespectful... shouldnt show it in public like that

[shaz3568]

@BLOSSOMPARKPARKERS SHUT UP disrespectful!

[lorenabaston]

thumbs up if you're canadian and listening to this anthem :)

[h2orox989]

ill have you aware i do not live in australia, though ive always wanted to. i live in the usa. i have a special globe that i can look stuff up on so i looked up the nation anthem fo australia and when i listened to it it was only the music so i went to youtube and i looked it up and i found this. very pretty!

[alcyonecrucis]

lol "free"

[aquabat104]

is this the whole song?? it's so short.

[fligism]

did you know you can sing the words of tweetie pie's "I thought I saw a pussy cat " to this?

[nath1356]

@fligism cool story mate

[shaz3568]

i am proud ot be australian <3

[emmieigirl]

Well I think this song is very patriotic, don't know if I spelled this word right. I think it is better than our national anthem! Our's talks about war and this signifies peace! So get your panties out your shitty ass, this is only my opinion!

[emmieigirl]

This song is so beautiful!!! I wish I was Australian just to say this is my anthem!!!

[hihihui1]

@emmieigirl You may like it, but it doesn't reflect well on a majority of us. They need to change it from the pretentious song it already is to something more patriotic.

[AussieVoda]

We Melburnians love the Australian National Anthem!!!

[Emerald3357]

@AussieVoda actually yeah, it brings good memories, and the fact that The Chasers (who i love btw) sing it makes me happy to be Australian :D (they sing it as a sketch)

[OzDCreatte0]

This is such an amazing song. I am American but would put my life aside at a minutes notice to protect Australia. Stay safe my friends! :)

[yucoshimasan]

everyone expects a national anthem that speaks of war and blood like all countries ... :/

[aquilottodellalazio]

GREAT NATIONAL ANTHEM

GREETINGS FROM ITALY(rome)

[DumberSuperDUDE]

0:28 crocodile hunter R.I.P :(

[pokemonleetzor]

Great song, God Bless Australia

[aliancer]

Do we have to sing this to become Australian Citizen?

[AussieVoda]

@aliancer

Mostly i think you would have to know it but there are many things you would need to know

[1FenderGuy]

Thumbs up if u can play it on guitar!!!!

[katngo73]

This is a pretty good anthem actually, compared to America's- all about fighting...........wars?

[SaMeRTvHQ]

@SCHSMagicMan niceeeeeeeee

[soopasnowman]

i hate our national anthem v,v

[JTJordan18796]

@MessIahmake This song was made about 30 years before God Bless America.

[CoDHut]

shittest national anthem on the planet. i really hate it. waltzing matilda was 100% a better choice.

[Geo0123]

@CoDHut OMG CODHUT??? ASDKAJSDHJASL:DKASDJ ASKJDAS:KDASKJDKJAS DKASD KJASD HOLY ShITTTTT IM UR B1gG35T F4N!! !! I WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!

[mizzhektikuleh]

worst anthem ever... iraqi and turkish anthems are so much better.. but considering i have to listen to this everytime my workplace has an assembly... CHANGE IT!... would rather listen to waltzing matilda everymorning!

[mountaintopp]

Long live Australia!

[topttour]

your right boils

[Mokite22]

It's sort of hard to believe that Australia use to be a prison for the British

[irishgodfatherchris]

@Mokite22 no some of the colonies were used to transport convicts, the same as the 13 colonies which as you know became the founding states

[Grunt922]

@Mokite22 well everyone used to be a prisoner to britain, but now half the world could kick britains teeth in, and they know it so thats why they are all so rude to most people. especially americans and our friends the aussies.

[Kostralia]

31 people preferred Waltzing Matilda.

[wortheirlemon]

>:D

[thearcher1980]

I love it when they play this during the footy finals!

[glasgow1234]

Dear people of Australia

In the next 4 years the people of Scotland will vote in a referendum to decide if they want to be an independent country, free from the United Kingdom. Please show your support for my countries INDEPENDENCE by giving this comment a thumbs up.

Thank You

From SCOTLAND.

Long May Scotland & Australia Prosper !

(Oh and you would lose the British Flag from your own Flag)

[MrJlcrules]

@glasgow1234 i totally agree respect Australia from London England

[MrFataja]

australia sucks USA nuts, we deep throat australia all night long, then in the morning the gay house keeper canada can clean the cum stains off you.

USA!!!! USA!!!! USA!!!

[irishgodfatherchris]

@MrFataja wanker, I'll just take my universal healthcare, better education system, better economy, longer lifespan, better standard of living elsewhere then

[MrFataja]

@irishgodfatherchris go kiss the queens ass

[irishgodfatherchris]

@MrFataja no thanks I'll pass

[MrFataja]

@irishgodfatherchris haha

[MrJlcrules]

@MrFataja what like when you deep throat your dad all night long. And then your mum takes the cum from out your mouth hahaha typical American i aint got nothing against America you are a disgrace to ur country u fat greasy cunt. And this is a fact America has the highest percentage of gays so that pissed on your bonfire so dont go dissing Canada

[BushInBrissy]

im a pure bred aussie and i dont like the anthem but shit it makes ya proud to live here

go broncos

[squirell1952]

Beautiful anthem. However, Australia is NOT "young and free". She is ANCIENT AND FREE. Please insert this new piece. Australia founded by Capt. Cook 200 years ago? Listen, pommies or whatever you are called. The ORIGINAL Aussies were there THOUSAND OF YEARS AGO. Do they not teach Aussies (whites) in schools? Of course not. The gov't wants to keep you all down and ignorant and uneducated.  Grow up. 200 years, my arse!!

[irishgodfatherchris]

@squirell1952 do you speak Irish as your first language, why doesn't Ireland acknowledge the ethnic identity of the Traveller People, in Australia most of our Humanities classes revolve around the native people, the song itself is 120 years old, don't start you can't win ladeen.

[bluecaramel1]

do u hav the long version?

[mrkhoausd]

A good anthem . It looks like opera . Classic

[DarkAshes95]

Best countries:USA, Canada, England, and Australia.

[ihatelameusernames]

@DarkAshes95

Nope, just USA and Canada.

[Nicole3900]

I just got back from a vacation to Australia yesterday. It's such a beautiful country with wonderful people. Stop with all the fighting. Love from the USA.

[shevhenco]

I thought Waltzing Matilda is the Australian Anthem

[irishgodfatherchris]

@shevhenco Read the poem and you'll see why its not our National Anthem

[emmaissocoollike69]

@HighlyUnimaginitive I'm australian and thanks we love you too like LOVE you

[AndrewPuccetti08]

A great anthem and a great country. Pity about our politicians though.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@TheLoesie Read the poem and you'll see why it isn't our National anthem

[czechivan]

nice anthem

[Money15Collector]

The United States, Canada, and Australia have the BEST national anthems in the world!!!

[Delayar111]

Great national anthem. Any german will tell you that!

[TheAutumnblue42]

Boils:

No it's not. Maybe to you but its a beautiful national anthem. I think its better than the USA's

You can be known to some people as "RACIST"

[boils]

@TheAutumnblue42

then you wouldnt understand the word racist. we arent a race!

anyway liking or loving the anthem doesnt say anything. doing something for the nationa rather than sitting back and being nationalistic is far more helpful for Australia.

[czechivan]

Cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­ anthem

[gdzhou]

there is no second part of th song

[irishgodfatherchris]

@gdzhou there's actually 5 verses but we normally sing the1st and the 3rd or just the 1st because if we didn't functions and school assemblies would take forever

[HighlyUnimaginative]

Where has all this Britain hate come from ?

Aussies to me are all my cousins love you all.

[RawR4iloveyou]

aw c'mon. now i understand what @jamielaou was saying. US and Canadian anthems are better :D this one's all about land and money :L

[CreepingBoNE]

@RawR4iloveyou But to Aussies, land is more than just property, when we say land, we mean the beauty of Australia, not the actual wealth of it

[TakiroChan]

@RawR4iloveyou Uhm.. no? It's about the beauty of nature and how it has everything one could need to live. Type of an Aboriginal attitude, I'd say..

[boils]

terrible national anthem. any aussie will tell you that

[mythbustersfan3456]

@boils well excuse me im a australian and you are insulting my country's anthem so that rude im sorry but thats thy way i think

[mantas1111000]

@boils You do realise I'm going to play this to a lot of australians on Teamspeak

[crabsign]

@boils yep - i live in USA now and i am embarrassed when they play this anthem when Australia wins at Olympics (or whatever). It just shouldnt be our anthem.

[Metalasanything]

@boils Have you heard the French one? It's epic the lyrics.

[jyefy]

@boils correct im aussie and id prefer a better one

[XennaXDemyx]

@boils I agree -w-;;; and I'm aussie.

[rogerexplosion]

@boils

As an Australian, I disagree. The anthem is neither religious, militaristic, or embarassingly outdated (living in the Netherlands now, whose anthem promises to always honour the king of Spain).

Could do much worse..

[journalistgirl07]

@boils for me the real anthem is Waltzing Matilda !

[GabrielNicho]

@boils What are you complaining about...you are young and free....

[AussieVoda]

@GabrielNicho

Boils isn't Australian!

He is from the UK, they are jealous that we Aussies have a good song so they try and put it down by making it look like we hate it when we love our Anthem!!!

[Patryk392]

@boils Jealous Briton...

[A45Productions]

@boils yeah right

[AussieVoda]

@boils

Your a dickhead! your from the UK, your jealous we have a better song than you!

We Aussies love our Anthem!

[alanbstard4]

@Oasistudios Britain is our mother nation. Greatest place on earth

[alanbstard4]

@Oasistudios Poms is a term of endearment, it's friendly

[xGUERILLAxxxWARFAREx]

@Oasistudios How is "pom" even a offensive word anyway? you think we hate you because we call you poms? lol...

[alanbstard4]

@xGUERILLAxxxWARFAREx The Australian nation anthem is shit. We had a perfectly good anthem, God save the Queen, and some cunt decided to change it. You should be sing a national anthem

[iloveamericans1]

@xGUERILLAxxxWARFAREx Course the Australians hate the Briitsh you dumbshit,always have done.I would never visit Australia.never.

[xGUERILLAxxxWARFAREx]

@Oasistudios you call us Aussies lol

[iamkingofthecastle]

amen

[MrAaronball]

aussie aussie oi oi oi !!!!! <3

[alanbstard4]

@MrAaronball actually, that was stolen from rugby, it's auggie Auggie auggie oi oi oi, and is Australian rugby cheer, not a national one. It was stolen for the Sydney olympics

[90939smiles]

@Oasistudios Oh, lighten up. xD Just because we call you names doesn't mean we hate you. Teasing our friends; it's the Australian way.

[90939smiles]

@Oasistudios australia doesn't hate britain...

[WCBguy1]

The song is is called for those people who don't know: Advance Australia Fair

[90939smiles]

@WCBguy1 It says it at the start, lol.

[WCBguy1]

@90939smiles ok then, and i need to ask you this, is australia rasict to black people? pls reply because i am planning on living there and i'm black.

[90939smiles]

@WCBguy1 Australia is a multi-cultural country. It would be fine for you to live here. There are some racist people in Australia, but most of us are not racist at all.

[WCBguy1]

@90939smiles thanks for your help now i know i should live there

[alanbstard4]

@90939smiles who says it's multicultural? Until the 1960s it was a monocultural, and was better for it. It still should be a monocultural nation

[alanbstard4]

@WCBguy1 why come. What can you offer us? There is a lot of immigration to Australia, much to my disgust, as we have little water, the traffic in Sydney & Melbourne is at a standstill

Aussies are very tolerant. We must be otherwise so many people would not be allowed in. However, we have had a gutful

Black or white, stay where you are. We have enough foreigners here

[FallopianCanoeist]

21 (at this post time) dislikes?!

WTF, M8?

Reckon they (the 21) prefer the longer version hey -

[trentmuch1]

@Blackrapperable

No...?

The Welsh Assembly Govt. (And therefore Parliament) approved a measure to appoint Welsh the language of Wales. A Welsh greeting is also one of only 50 odd greetings included in the Voyager Spacecraft's "Golden Disk".

[What kind of a country would have a national language that most people can't understand?!]

A Country that is, perhaps, more welcoming and forgiving than its traditionally xenophobic neighbour?

(Had to go there, sorry!)

[trentmuch1]

@trentmuch1

The Welsh language is also on the increase, where new-learners are concerned.

Yes, I'm competent at speaking English - As are most of my fellow Countrymen, but don't mistake that for some kind of ersatz allegiance to England! I am, to the extent of necessity, 'British'. To all other intents and purposes, I consider myself "Welsh" - An identity which the EU recognizes. Just as you consider YOURself English, no doubt.

And 'being English' is no problem with me! :P:D

[mmmail1969]

@Blackrapperable - yeah well, we all expected you by now to have progressed beyond nappy wearing, but hey, you did use the words "stupid twa" and "mirror"!

[trentmuch1]

@Blackrapperable

Umm... :P

No!

Welsh is my first language (From birth, and by education.)

English is England's National Language.

English is also Britain's Nationally recognisable language, so forgiveness there :P

My point remains intact and unanswered :P

[mmmail1969]

@Blackrapperable - yep limpy and her hope is one day you might be able to get it up, so she can stop cleaning your shower and you can be the man she dreams of - everyone else knows - it'll never happen!

[mmmail1969]

@Blackrapperable - given who you see in the mirror eveyday, you'd certainly know what one looks like!

[SentUpInSmoke]

Im an American, names Mike. I love Australia and have been to Sydney,Alice Springs, and traveled all around the outback. Let me just say I love this country, its people and the culture and everything about Oz. Sure some tourists are ignorant and just a pain in the ass but for the most part you'll see that with any country or group of people. God Bless Australia and the United States! Great allies, great people.

- Mike

[BackFromNowere]

Hello Australia from England ;)

God Save Our Queen

[plodd34]

i wish i could live in austrailia because i know its a really great place to live as for me im english and not british  i wasborn in england and 100% english and not british

[trentmuch1]

@plodd34

You were born in England, but you never wasted any time learning the language correctly. Grammar? Spelling? Shit, KEYBOARD skills? :P

I'm Welsh. I shouldn't, by rights, be better than you at using the English language! :P

(PLEASE take that as a joke - I'm a NICE neighbour! :D)

[lolathehedgehog]

I love the Australian national anthem! :D It's so much more catchy than the American one.

[heretic708]

I'm Aussie and yes I love my country but there are so many other great countries as well so to the people who r arguing here plz remember we r all equal and 2 the ppl saying crap about Australia plz keep it 2 urself and just respect my country like i respect yours.

[RolandfionaRuby123]

[MrPotato16]

[brettpriest]

Why argue? We are all fucked at the end of the day....

[BtadyDavies]

australians don't like anyone who is not Ayran race

[EmpireStateXNyc]

Damn people stop hating on national anthems...I was watching the U.s national anthem, then the Uk national anthem, Then New Zealand, Then Austrailia etc and in every video the comments are flooded with hate. Honestly people need to chill the fuck out and learn to respect each other and fyi hating isn't going to make you feel better about your own insecurities..

[Germanicnoble]

@EmpireStateXNyc Well said friend.

[AaronRowski]

Greetings from Canada! Your brothers on the opposite end of the world! (Canada is Far North-West and Australia is South-East :P )

Anyways, yeah, Australia is awesome and I plan to move there.

[ONpadano]

You killed 10 milions people ! We must STOP Australia before the story will repeat ! You NAZI !

[ihdfswvduzr]
