Redgum "I Was Only Nineteen" (1983)
This along with "and the band played waltzing matilda" and "When the tigers broke free" are some of the most poignant war/anti war songs ever.
Donald: The Musical
Love this. Love Tim Michin. Here is the original from Matilda.

EMU vs. WEASEL BALL - TANGO
I don't think it's possible to go to school here without learning Waltzing Matilda I think most folks would've had to learn "Australians all eat ostriches" too... although since everybody mumbled the words a lot of them probably thought they were the real words.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
It wouldn't be hard - Aussie police love them some taser action. I could probably get it for singing Waltzing Matilda off-key or proclaiming that Paul Hogan is not a national treasure.>> ^deathcow:
OK we've seen MarineGunrocks sandwich, and we've seen Barseps finger, and we've seen UsesProzacs syrup holster... lets start taking suggestions for the next one. Any votes for

A very cunning linguist. This guy needs to write a musical.
He's written Matilda: A Musical, adapted from the Roald Dahl book. Definitely going to be going to see that with the kids!

Interesting You know, your visit could well have coincided with the time frame I was talking about listening to "And the band played..." in music class. I'm not entirely sure why the band played Waltzing Matilda (but that link might have some clues). In 1918 the real Australian anthem was "God save the King", our current one wasn't chosen until 1974, but I think Matilda has always been popular. The link to Gallipoli is interesting too. After the war, Mustafa Kemal, who had been commander of the Turkish forces on the day of the invasion wrote a tribute to the Australian troops quoted at the Australian war memorial's web site, http://www.awm.gov.au/encyclopedia/ataturk.asp
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well."
P.S. I got side tracked and forgot that I meant to send you a link to "I was only 19", another sad Australian ballad about returned soldiers.

I've known it was sort of the un-official national anthem for Australia since I was little (I was there when I was 9yrs old), so I guess I've always heard it in an Australian voice.
I also had a music box as a child that had Waltzing Matilda as it's song.
How well known it is to others, I don't know. I always seem to be the one that collects odd little facts.
Lol, nice accent, btw.
Cheerio!

(clears throat, puts on posh British accent) Oh, how embarrasing! I've been caught commiting an Australianism!
How well known is that ballad in your parts? I remember listening to it in primary school music class, many moons ago :, so it hadn't really crossed my mind that it might've had much exposure outside Australia... and yet here's an Irish cover and you seem more familiar with another version.

You might like this one, it's the Clancy Brothers (i.e. the Irish band), with an Australian song... the poster is a probie who hasn't marked it downunder, livemusic, or celtic (so even if you don't upvote, you could at least do that)
