That still ticks me off! That song right doesn't belong in the US. Those greedy sons a b's!

Hi John,

I'm from the States and I thought this was an absolute riot.

I'm sorry to hear what happened with the publishing company. Big brother likes to make it difficult for the little guy to do business, even within America.

BTW, we're not just good for muffins and pancakes.

Here, we all cook plenty of hot dogs and hamburgers on our $500+ barbecues, and we're known throughout the world for the birth of the $5 cup of coffee! 

Keep fighting the good fight.

Cheers, mate!

Hey, So im an American, and even though your making fun of us, ill give it to you that this is very creative, but "mate" you stero-type the "yanks" too much, i think all you know about americans is what you see on the news, which is bogus, but will i enjoyed your song.

[johnharleyweston]

Thanks for your comment 'letitflythrower'. I've been to the US many times and I know there's a lot more to it than my ditty suggests but stereo-types are the best way to get a point across. Right now I'm throwing some prawns on the barbeque, dodging kangaroos, wrestling crocodiles and I'm wearing a kilt - because I'm a proud Scotsman 'downunder' if you know what I mean...ha. Tongue in cheeky.

This video is a dig at the US publishing laws which seem to outreach Australian laws in relation to copyright ownership of the Australian song 'Waltzing Matlida'. I hope this Americanised version makes us all realise the importance of keeping a hold of our heritage.

Suddenly I feel no shame when I'm downloading the latest Hollywood movies ;-)

[tezwoman]

we have given them Vegemite, Victa Lawnmowers and now those yanks are taking away our Matilda!!

Stand up Australia!!!
