Most "Australian" song

[butchmcdick]

Not a John Williamson original but still a good rendition

Interestingly the pogues do a version too

[Parra]

Lakeside - Aussie Crawl

Tojo - Hoodoo Gurus - this is the definitive Aussie song for me.

 

[Parra]

I like Eric Bogle's original version of that Butch. Good choice - totally Australian regardless of who performs it.

 

[Red Bear]

I like the Pogues version the most.

Re Frenzal Rhomb, how about 4 Litres

An ode to Goon, that's pretty Australian

Or maybe Roger (an ode of sorts to Roger Climpson, channel 7 newsreader of the 70's/80's/90's)

Other nominations
I think Flame Trees is certainly worthy. Would've said Great Southern Land if Mis hadn't already beaten me to it.

They do the same for just about any song by U2.

... and especially Bon Jovi.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Great Southern Land - Icehouse
You’re The Voice – John Farnham
come said the boy- Mondo Rock.
GANGjagang - Sounds of Then (This is Australia)

There is more thats all I can think of at the moment.

Oh no!! The king of the repeated retire/comeback syndrome.

That merkin can burn in hell!!

Austen Tayshus with "Australiana" would have been a starter except that he was born a Jew in New Yuck USA.

Then again.....it really isn't a song.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Johnny Dole and the Scabs - "Why March When You Can Riot!"

And whoever mentioned "My City Of Sydney" by Frenzal Rhomb, the original by the XL Capris is an Aussie punk classic.

I have the original vinyl and my ballsack almost unloaded every time I saw Johanna Piggott.

 

[Twizzle]

Solid Rock - Goanna

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Oh no!! The king of the repeated retire/comeback syndrome.

Yeah I know, but such a catchy tune.

 

[Nugget10]

"Russel Crowe's band" by Frenzal Rhomb is pretty Australian

I don't get a million bucks for getting out of bed,
I don't get a million f**ks when I punch folks in the head,
And even if we know we never get a billboard top 10 hit,
At least we know Russell Crowe's bands a f**king pile of shit.

I don't get olympic athletes to my barbecue ,
I don't get extortion threats from the Coffs Harbour saloon,
and even if our pay checks may as well as be counterfeit,
at least we know Russell Crowe's bands a f**king pile of shit

 

[snoozer]

... and especially Bon Jovi.

max countdowns live on bon jovi.

you'd think they where led zeppelin or the stones the amount of airtime they get.

Corrected for accuracy.

 

[Parra]

Watching some of these.

The Herd managed to really butcher "I Was Only 19".

Frenzal Rhomb definitely meet the criteria in spirit & theme.
