my father in law spent 2 years in australia, he loved his time there and often spoke to me about slim and his music. in his later years i played this for him many times and grew to love it myself

[goodtime212]

I'm a Brit [ya know..the ones who play good cricket LOL] but I gotta tell you guys..this is awesome !! I play in a rock/blues band and this one is gonna get sneaked in once I get the guitarist [I'm the singer] onto the case LOL..can't wait to see those faces !!!!! Thanks Mr Slim where-ever you are..the world of music so needs folk like you and you inspired this old rocker !!Who said the old dog can't be taught new tricks!!! Bye to my Aussie cousins..Respect, Ray Cooke x

[bigggi1000]

this song was written about talors  arm nsw so saferain1 your grandad talks shit

[mamaduke16]

There's a far away look on the face of the bum....

[amillicents13]

@mamaduke16 i thought that was odd too!

[saferain1]

Gordon Parsons never wrote this. This was composed by Dan Sheehan about the Day Dawn hotel in Ingham. My grandfather (John Cappler) was his friend and was once a blacksmith. He became "Billy". They lived near each other in a place called Long Pocket. Grandad used to make moonshine(rum) for the Yanks in 1942

The Sheenans considered legal action against Parsons. Never got around to it, so it would seem.

So, I SAY, Gordon Parsons was/is a thief!

Dan Sheenan never got a brass razoo.

[petebrayscuba]

@saferain1 every family has a friend who composed a folk song and considered legal action. pick up a guitar and get some revenge!

[bigggi1000]

@saferain1 talors arm is where the original song was about a flood stopped the trucks getting alcohol to it so your grandad talks shit slim even acknowledged it look it up

[AthenaandOdin]

hahaha this song still get me only an aussie would think to write it hahahaha ....god bless our humour ....its kinda like when red rooster runs outta chicken xD i reckon if my step dad came across a pub with no beer he'd cry :P

[Tokugawa2005]

@AthenaandOdin I'd cry if I came across a pub with no beer, it's just not right for a pub to not have any beer

[AthenaandOdin]

@Tokugawa2005 i dont drink beer myself but as beer is the be all end all i think people would riot over a pub with no beer hahahaha 

[softie461]

The cover version of Bobbejaan is much better - more feelings !!

[hammerhead8954]

Great song fairplay slim you LEGEND.

[stephen1231000]

The 3 dislikes are heathens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, RIP SLIM!!!! I will never forget you for as long as i live :)

[alanfarr]

First record I ever bought! Back when I was 10 years old. Still got it too.

My Mum and Dad thought I was daft: "What do you know about pubs?" they said.

I hadn't really thought him or the record for years until just moments ago.

Looking at Wiki, I see just how famous he was/still is.

[randomaccount39]

Beautiful Dreamer... compare

[rmm413c]

@randomaccount39 Yeah, the tune was definitely written by the American Stephen Foster back in the 19th century. But, hey, you've got to admit the Australian lyrics are awesome!

[baal9336]

a true story from my youth in southern norway

timber

[Wajlonis]

This song, along with the vision of beerless pub terrifies me so much, that I can barely listen to this song... Thank God Dusty recorded an answer to that song!

[coldplaywave]

How can anyone dislike this masterpiece!A real song for those who love to drink whenever they want.

[DAKherr]

I found something called "APubWithNoBeer" in the music folder of my installation of Unreal Tournament 2004... I think it's a parody of this. Will post a video of it shortly. If anyone knows anything about it, I'd love to know, because I can't find anything on google about it... or why it was in my music folder of my installation. >.>'

[Jagguar20]

@DAKherr Yeah man! It's from the community-made map 'Outback', for the assault gametype. That map is about some guys who assault a brewery which was taken over by some dudes and they took the alcohol out of the beer. It includes a 'version' of this song.

Actually, I know Slim Dusty because of UT2K4 hah.

[lindaburns64]

a great song to sing when you.ve had a tankful. this ones for my cousin stuart leslie daley,who gets too drunk to remember the words...Vindaloo xxx

[anthony13231]

slim dusty is the best singer ever on earth

[Redrosestallpoppies]

This song reminds me of the trips to town with my grandfather, stormy afternoons, and nights at grandparents which were sent listening to Slim Dusty songs. I haven't heard one in a few years it's good to hear one of his songs again.

[monstar784]

go slim you are awesome we will all rember you

[THE14ALLIZ4U]

Gordon Parsons was working as a cedar cutter south of Bellingen when he wrote this song during the war about the Cosmopolitan Hotel at Taylor's Arm, NSW. Perhaps influenced by Stephen Foster's song "Beautiful Dreamer" c1865 & inspired by a poem "A Pub without Beer" by Dan Sheahan, a cane farmer of Ingham, Nth Qld (originally from Ireland) about Day Dawn Hotel in Ingham,1943. Parsons was part of The Slim Dusty Show when Slim asked him if he could record it on a b side & it eventually took off!

[MrWhittag]

hey my pop brought me up on this music its my roots he was a sheep shearer all his life and every school holidays we got shiped out to the farm countrys in my roots and some people hate it when i have a few and wack slim on i will never forget slim and my pop he was just like slim

[LASKMOON]

does this song reflect social and cultural issues?

[Essefen]

@LASKMOON No. Australians aren't imprisoned by politicaly correctness and silly philosophy like many other cultures are.

[LASKMOON]

@Essefen thanks anyway

[Starshadow]

Had a single with this--my mum was an Aussie war bride. It had the "Redback on the Toilet Seat" on the reverse side. I loved this. Lovely to see it on YouTube and hear it again...thanks!

[pyrofella]

@Starshadow - Slim Dusty sang " The Pub With No Beer" - Slim Newton sang "Redback on the Toilet Seat"
