The Herd - I Was Only 19

The original song was produced for the culture of the time. Aussie hip hop is the culture for this time. Nothing sacrilage was intended. Anyway, the original artist had no problem with this song being redone. Redgum owns the rights to this song, not you. If you don't like it, don't listen to it.

sorry to say but aussie hardcore is more popular that shit-hop i only clicked this vid to see wat it was and im fine with them being a shit-hop band but hardcore is more popular now

The bloke, is he the original singer?

no Redgum sung the origonal, Jonny Williamson, a lot better than this rap shit

I meant the old bloke in the film clip...(Sorry I wasn't clearer)

Music opinions are subjective, I guess. But at the same time we're getting into a different time, a culture shift where Australian hip-hop is becoming extremely popular. It happens all the time with rock, forms of classical music, blues, RnB etc... It's just how the music industry/pop culture works and always will.

Cheers mate.

I have to say, I am only 17, but a classic redone like this really upsets me. The emotion in it seems to have dissapeared, its sounds like they are just singing it because it is a song. I normally do not like a poemto be turned into a song but redgum did it well. A rap version of a poem, in my opinion, is just wrong.

sorry mate.. but most rap songs are poems

no I mean turning something that was already a poem, a classic poem i should say, into something like this.

awesome version of this song, lovin it

if you dont like it fuck off, simple
