@Amolina1401 Wow... Great South Land of the Holy Spirit... You dont actually talk to other people like this, do you? If you've been wondering why nobody takes you seriously, I think I've figured out why. As for "respect," Aussie soldiers died so that he has the freedom of speech to actually perform the national anthem as he sees fit. Don't like it, don't listen to it again. Simple. Let me be the first to say "Grow the hell up."
@amolina1404 OMG, this is a joke and he's a comedian. Although I'm sure 98% of the Aussie population would LOVE to have this as our anthem!!! Am I right people?
@amolina1404 As someone who loves dearly this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit, I see absolutely nothing wrong with singing these great lyrics to a different(better!) melody. In my opinion it shows no disrespect at all.
so sad i was helping deliver stuff for work and because of Adam hills i knew the song on the radio was jimmy barns working class man and i'm not even 20
We all may actually remember the second verse if this was our National Anthem, 'cause God knows that i still don't know it and can't be bothered to learn it in it's current form.
I'm a Kiwi, through and through, I was born and raised in New Zealand...but after watching this for like the 40th time... I think I need to say this... IF AUSSIES SUNG IT LIKE THIS! I WOULD FUCKING APPLAUD!!! JULIA GILLARD! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND LISTEN TO *YOUR* PEOPLE...
I would love to have this as our national anthem, too bad theres too many politically correct/ old people who complain that will never let it happen :(
I just thought this was a real hoot when I saw it 4 years ago. Just loved it, but I don't think it will win a referendum. However, I do think that the anthem needs improving and whether you agree or not then go to Anthem Australia on Facebook where you can vote and join the debate. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and this will be the new anthem!!!
saltifish you must be an english wanker to not love this song. ok, its not the best anthem in the world but god save the queen isnt the best either. i reckon waltzing matilda should be our anthem though
Saltifish are you kidding "God save the Queen" Well if thats the case lets be a colony again and have the Union Jack as our Flag. No mate not for me Advance Australia Fair any day over God Save the Queen.
@owenwashere123 Why would you look up an Australian Comedian, singing the Australian National Anthem just to say, nz anthem is better.. Get off the page...
You Aussies are lucky - at least only the TUNE of your anthem sucks: God Save the Queen has boring lyrics AND a dull tune...(I can see why you got rid of it)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song was written in America by an American. And that fat slob that sings it and takes all the credit aint even Australian he was born in Scotland.
After hearing this not long after it first came out, I found that I could no longer sing the national anthem without grinning to myself ... Even when I go to the kids school for their weekly assembly, as soon as the anthem starts, I just wanna belt it out like Adam Hills! Well done Adam ... I know there were alot of people who tut-tutted when u did this ... Clearly they dont have the one thing most Aussies are full of ... A great sense of humour, and the ability to take the piss!
Adam, I am 65 and at last I have found someone who thinks like me - apart from my old man . Thanks Mate ...as Kevin Bloody Wilson says ....F.....ing Legend!!!!
I wish we'd so *something* with the British national anthem, then again no-one in this country actually *knows* the national anthem. Good on ya, Australia :)
This is bloody fantastic. I think it really shows what aussies are like not that gentle choir garbage. I would sing this loudly and proudly if this was our new anthem. Needs to be changed to this! Can just imagine on Australia day having drinks with the mates belting this out to the top of our lungs aha
2ND VERSE Beneath our radiant Southern Cross We’ll toil with hearts and hands; To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands; For those who’ve come across the seas We’ve boundless plains to share; With courage let us all combine To Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia FaiR.
woooow, i'm AMAZED at Hills' version. Seriously, the way it started was moving. HAHA! Funny how my Aussie mate HATES his own anthem. Says it means nothing to him and doesn't do a damn thing for him. But he's a big fan of the U.S anthem. My anthem. :). But really, no bollocking here, but i really like the Aussie anthem. Its got nice words that are REALLY are true when you think about it. Its ironic.
@michael9678727 it's because aussies and im not just saying it because im aussie. can take a joke, take the piss outta themselves, australia understands a joke and when some one is taking the piss. where not all wankers who think we live in the greatest country in the world, aussies are seriously usually just themselves, where not all patriotic over a materialistic flag thats made in singapore or china.
@michael9678727 I didn't mean it in a "This guy Sucks!" kinda way, I mean if I did this at my school I would get detention :) P.S I live in Australia lol
