One of my favorites- of course it's about Australia and I'm American, but so much of it can apply to America as well. I don't think, though, many people know how sad this song is. Colin Hay himself said the song is partially about the plundering of Australia by greedy people. It's why I think the acoustic version works even better than the original- the acoustic version helps contextualize the message.
i just want to be the guy in tha back singing tha high harmony...one of the easiest songs to listen to ever.this is like one of those songs that you hear wshen yer havin' a crap day and it turns it all around..this baby is a game changer
A really underrated song writer.

I thought I was a big fan back in the early 80s. I'm a way bigger fan of this acoustic style! Love it~
