There is a certain very large online music store that shares its name with a well known river. That is where you will find this song. I don't know about the video though.
Amazing! I saw the band for the first time in Coffs Harbour together with 1927 and a couple of other bands in 1989. Some festival going on. I thought it was a brave move to step out of the then ever so popular pub-rock and to try something completely different. That indeed was a great moment in Australian music history.
I have also been looking for this song for ages... oh my goodness. Can you believe iTunes doesn't have it? They have one Big Pig song... and it's Big Hotel... and I only want this one. I grew up on Bill and Ted. YAYYAYAYAYAYAY!
Right, it's a shame that such good songs are that hard to find. :( I heared this one and 'Nation' in two videos of David Copperfield :D really a great taste of music!
If you type either "Big Pig" (2 words) or "Breakaway" (1 word), it should work. I just tried it and it's still there. The "Popper Mix" is just a dance version with weird popping noises. It's OK, but I like the original best, as well as this YouTube dance video version. I see you are from the US. Surely me accessing it from Canada and you from the US accesses the same iTunes database. Good luck.
Its definitely on the iTunes store in July 2009 along with their Album. B**K. It should say BONK but you know how those American can be prudish but such thing. F**K that for a joke :)
her voice is soo god damn good

Bonk doesn't usually mean that in the US. It can but it's typically an outdated or childish way of saying it in our vernacular.
