[TheHereandqueer]

one of my favourite dance acts eva !! it is very clever

[xxrachel22xx]

This makes me so proud to be Aboriginal.

Seriously, these guys are absolutely amazing! And to think they were once just a bunch of kids that got up to no good! <3 <3

|-O-| Aboriginal Pride ^_^

[chefjohnwt]

@xxrachel22xx good on you sister, and as a person with Greek background, feel equally proud...

[lizbrennerurrutia]

@xxrachel22xx Could you please tell me more about them? what do you mean that they were boys up to no good? I would be proud too ,to be Australian aboriginal.

[xxrachel22xx]

@lizbrennerurrutia I don't know that much about them, only that they were trouble makers, didn't get much education, etc etc :)

I'm just happy they get to show off their talent to the world.

[HeshPAGOMA]

I come from New-Caledonia..and I'd like to say hello to chooky boys from Galiwinku!!!! You dance verry well!!!

[theSkippyspartan]

Better than the Greek way of doing it!

[youbetzler]

These guys should add more to their repertoire . A few ideas of the top of my head are the hokey pokey, the macarena and hey ya i think would all be hilarious.

[Deinonychosauria]

Priceless. :'D

[charlesbadamson]

[MultiNOONGA]

CHOOKY DANCERS NO. 1  !!!!!!!!!!

[De34g1e]

that's a big fat 0 from Harry Connick Jnr. because if this was in America there'd be no Gala - and because he has no sense of humor.

[XenolithExtremeProd]

Fantastic job keep up the good work!!!!

[OnWhatEarth]

I saw the super duper man one they do at the multicultural festival in 2009 ...lol i love the guy i the centre!

[lindaweir1]

Thats fucking AWESOME!!

[MsCharleybrown]

Loved it, You guys are great :)

[JuliaJane27]

words cannot express how much joy this gives me.

Why? There is just so much merriment and happiness in the room. It's amazing to see such talent celebrated and help show people that the Indigenous culture can give so much to society. They have such a rich and amazing culture, something anglo-saxon Australia could only dream of.

I'm not saying this in a patronising way, but we should all celebrate the amazing Aboriginal culture, not spout out crap about them having to completely assimilate :)

[boosomentity]

@JuliaJane27 sounds pretty patronising to me. i respect their right to their cultural heritage and their right to have us white colonials leave them the fuck alone, but "we should all celebrate the amazing Aboriginal culture" please!!!. true Aboriginal culture is nothing to celebrate its just their culture and its deeply flawed in many ways. we white folks travel the world visiting tourist blinker stops and harp on about their cultural beauty like a snob prattles on pretentiously about wine.

[allatheaussie]

@boosomentity you have got to be kidding. Aboriginal culture needs to be celebrated so that it's not forgotten. I can think of many many more flawed cultures, including those who invade others lands and then wipe them out because they want the land. Just because its not your culture, doesn't mean it's not amazing in its own way. Grow a sense of cultural awareness.

[TELIAI]

@allatheaussie well said =)

[JuliaJane27]

@allatheaussie I haven't been keeping track of replies to my original comment, so it makes me happy to see that you replied with something that makes sense, to the comment that turned something positive I said into something negative. Thank you for being on the same page :)

[thenulanula]

Now that's just to DEADLY love the chooky dancers

[AkitaTom]

Aboriginal*

[AkitaTom]

Very well done, very funny! However do you think that if a group of Greeks danced like Aboriginals at a comedy festival that they would receive a round of a applause from the Greek community?

[azzlane]

@AkitaTom, hey they are not dancing like greek people they are just dancing to a greek song they are not dressed as greeks r they, they are using their own moves and unique style, i have lived in an aboriginal community for 3 yrs and when the community has traditional dancing i get up and dance like a white man and its all just fun and good times. if the greek community wants to dance with us, come on over.

[japanesesen]

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!! YEA!!!

[iScoot007]

[stumpyman101]

LCD - Zorba's dance

[1964Byron]

I am Greek and Ive seen Zorbas Ballet in Classical Music stages in Athens and in Paris.

Ive seen it in ancient theatres.

Ive seen it practically in every conceivable place

But these guys make me really, really, really PROUD.

Greetings from Greece and may the Zorba spirit always lead your lives!

[kirrijirri]

does anyone know what these guys have been up to lately. I am Interested in keeping up with what they are up to

[abremaline]

There is a website. Only says "Coming soon" though. I'm hoping to see more of them too!

[10mozcat]

@abremaline there's a whole new generation of chooky dancers. I work at an indigenous boarding school in qld and we have students that dance this and other fun dances as well as there traditional dances.

[tibbychin]

@kirrijirri check out bran nue dae

[pRoBiE1KeNoBi]

@kirrijirri Resently they did a performance at the Darwin festival in Australia :)

[LGKorora]

i love australians!

we are that cool...so funny how it starts off seriously, then the greek disco music kicks in

[umetablenow]

if they were white people covered in black paint more Americans would of had a cry about racism

[ThePene86]

the white paint isn't to make themselves resemble white people...

[kirrijirri]

I am totally in love I have watched this video so many times it isn't funny ...well over 200 times

[Alanna1989]

Fantastic I love it. This is so funny I just can't stop laughing every te I see it. This is true Australian culture. People respecting and honouring cultures that aren't their own but mix well with our own to make people laugh.

[teaknees]

Hahahahaha, these guys are legends.

[kirrijirri]

I am definately in love :) :) :) :) :)

[fobwidstyle]

[abremaline]

I keep hoping more stuff from these guys will turn up. So much TALENT. Not nearly enough of stuff like this or Sean Choolburra.

[swartisen]

...fantastic....

[gojustudent1981]

These guys are awesome, I think Harry Connick Jr needs to see this. :)

[abremaline]

Indeed they are. I keep hoping to see more from them.

[thenulanula]

@abremaline F%$# Harry Connick Jr he's a hypocrite & knob jucky

[thenulanula]

@gojustudent1981 F%#@ Harry Connick Jr he's a hypocrite & a knob jocky the Brutha's don't need his approval they're DEADLY

[Mandine29]

[Jazukai]

It's called Zorba Dance, and it was originally in some movie called Zorba the Greek, thats not the title of the song

[xxmidgit292x]

[awesomeness1410]

lol i was watchin this on tv and when they first came on i was like "How is this comedy?" Then they did theother dance and i was loosing it! It was sooo funny! hahaha

[deathbymusikk]

ill admit it is pretty funny, but i dont think it was that good of an idea to make a joke out of the aboriginal culture...but they were willing to do it so meh.

[Traff92]

they werent making a joke, they did an aboriginal dance out of respect, then they did the dance they have been doing for a long time. they were on austrlias got talent. so ye u shuld know what ur talkin bout before u comment

[deathbymusikk]

you should learn how to type before you try to act tough over a keyboard.

[SCHarmony]

Smart, witty, fantastic...Love you guys

[ididjaustralia]

love it!

[the26thhour]

Oh, "everybody who's seen the movie" now I got it & yes, it was crap. Why couldn't Buz have called it anything but the name of the country?

Wolverine vs The BMX Bandit

seems more fitting.

[the26thhour]

That's the first time I felt like the great rift between Cultures here, has trully begun to heal.

Why? Cause its the first time I've seen a Mob make a public, group laugh about Culture.

5*
