For a long time, the people of Australia have wanted a new national anthem. Ours is just so lame and boring and also really ironic. There's a line in our national anthem which is: "We've boundless plains to share" Which implies that anyone can come here, but our prime minister Tony Abbott has been working really hard to keep out people coming in on boats, especially from the Christmas Islands. Awhile back there was a petition to get Men at Works song "Land down under" song as our national anthem since our current one is so boring. Who says national anthems have to be boring? No one takes pride in a country with a numemon anthem. If you want national pride then you damn well change the anthem. The lyrics don't have to change but at least the tune does so it's not so slow and dragging. Actually the line about sharing our plains needs to be removed if they're going to keep on sending people away. Anyway these guys decided to make a new anthem for our country. There's no way in hell that this would ever make it as our anthem but if it did then I wouldn't be yawning every time I have to sing it. (That's not a joke either. I actually yawn every time I sing the anthem. I don't know why.) What about your countries national anthem? Do you guys think yours should be changed? If so post below your reasons! |

I'm Aussie too and first just to correct a factual point there, the immigrants coming to Australia, usually via Indonesia and being sent to Christmas Island, not coming from Christmas Island. Technically once they've been processed as genuine refugees on the Christmas Island centre, they should be coming to Australia and it's that which Abbott has/is trying to stop. I'm not really sure if they're being redirected from Christmas Island or if they just arent sent that centre because of different High Court rulings. But the people coming in on boats aren't from Christmas Island originally. Sorry, thats completely off-topic anyway Now on topic, Adam Hills, an Australian comedian does a brilliant version of our anthem. Working Class Man is a song about an American, sung by an Scott that's become an Aussie classic. And Adam Hills does it really well that makes me proud of our anthem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiEycVMKoJo Edited by ThatGuyHim, Jan 17 2015, 06:14 AM.
