The Australian Anthem is shithouse but it doesn't help when whatever bimbo they bring on from "Australia's got a average talent + a Sob Story" butchers it with "her own interpretation. It should be done just like at the World Cup, nothing else but a backing track and the crowd.

The Australian anthem would be better if we sang the second verse as well.

For the zealots that bang on about keeping our flag as is here's some historical perspective. Ladies and gentlemen I give you verses 4 and 5.
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England, Scotia, Erin's Isle,
Who come our lot to share,
Let all combine with heart and hand
To advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
Shou'd foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore
To guard our native strand;
Brittannia then shall surely know,
Beyond wide ocean's roll,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep a British soul.
In joyful strains the let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"

Still keep a British soul.We're nothing more than Brits in another country. And blokes wonder why the flag should be changed.

In other words, 'fuck off we're full' is part of our national anthem. Go Team Australia. Its weird because verse two is about opening the doors for those who've come across the seas as we have boundless plains to share. Seems to contradict itself. Anthems are funny though. The French one is about killing people in battle and the American anthem is a drinking song.

God save the queen has a verse about killing rebellious Scots, and the tories wonder why it get's booed in Scotland.

Just change it to Waltzing Matilda and be done with it. Edit: And I agree with other comments in this thread. Fuck off with the young 20 something girls that no one has heard of that try to put an "interpretation" on the national anthem. Just let the crowd sing with the music.

How come they're special? "Don't disrespect us by not standing there staring at us." As if in the kick off before battle the oppo would stand there all respectful like. More like a bit of Braveheart balls out action I would have thought. Fuck I'd laugh if a team mooned the lot of then while they were hokey pokeying. Fucking kiwis.

How could you forget to give mention to verse 2? I'm shocked more Australians don't sing it. When gallant Cook from Albion sail'd,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Till he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
With all her faults we love her still,
"Brittannia rules the wave!"
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
