Bought the VHS cassette of Austen when the local Blockbusters closed down years ago. I'll have to dig it out one day, but then have the problem of finding a machine to play it. Almost as rare as an 8 track these days. 2024
I was lucky enough to be a teenager in the 80's and I remember this single well (almost to the point of being able to recite it word-for-word) ... ... and nearly 36 years later it still holds up as being the best 80's Aussie spoken-word comedy single.

I saw Austen Tayshus at Newcastle Leagues Club back in 2010. Absolutely hilarious. And he's pretty damn tall as well. Poking fun at the audience is part of the act as well
It was the No. 1 single in Australia in 1983 for eight weeks, seven of them consecutive. The single (which was only available on 12") was banned in Victoria for a week, due to the B-side "The Comedy Commando". This led to a gap between the record's first number one placing (15 August) and its seven-week run at the number one spot (5 September - 17 October). You are correct. :-)
I emigrated from Wales to Western Australia back in 1986, and when i first heard this in either 1987 or 1988, i pissed myself all the way through... i understood everything... classic Aussie humour...
Heard this as a little boy, turning 50 this Year, Ya can't help but fn piss ya self every time ya hear it, Aussie Aussie Aussie, oy oy oy, on ya Austin.
I thought of a line that works so well with the delivery : "We had a barbie to go to, so we took our jerseys that Wee Waa and headed off. There, I heard Lizzie II's visiting, and I asked me mate "when'll the Queanbeyan?"
Interesting. This made no impact in NZ at the time but it's very clever and Billy is a genius. The 12th Man tapes were huge in NZ. And everywhere in the cricketing world.
There are 3 possible reasons as to why it wasn't played during the fire relief. First reason is the innuendos. Second reason (and probably biggest factor) is that Austen Tayshus is unpopular amongst entertainment circles in Australia. Third reason, is that due to copyright obstacles, the song might not have been able to be played if Austen Tayshus himself refused to perform.
Wow, this takes me back to when Triple M Brisbane would play this! I remember all the troops were gathered to help this guy when he ran out of money. ❤ Back when Australiana was cool.

Josh Gardiner Australian animals, locations, or things. The point is, this was a bit of fun at Australian cultures expense. Not every Australian is like this in real life, at least I am not and don't know anybody who is.

Boomer - is that actor Kristoffer Greaves? 0.20 in the audience, 0.40 & 3.52 as Boomer & 4.03 in the audience. Kristoffer was in Mad Max 2 as the disabled mechanic's offsider and in Running On Empty as the Starter - he wore the leg braces.
@@AFanOfCinema I think the joke is simply that he said "go Anna", which sounds like the name of the lizard. The whole skit is about using Australian plant, animal, and place names in puns.
jasdre28 Dude, I was trying to make a joke about a cop being a cold-blooded lizard. Edit: It's actually my fault on this one. I should've used a bit more thought on how to execute the joke better.
This brings back memories. We used to repeat this at school.
Gold. Vince Sorrenti cameo. And Christoffer Graves. The 'Starter' from the Aussie movie classic Running on Empty also in it.
Greens nice

@@jolla9963 It was a number one single on our chart for a total of 8 weeks in 1983, beating Irene Cara's "Flashdance... What a Feeling" by 1 week.
Just brilliant. Takes me back to the eighties. I remember the day I first heard this on a tape. Heard Kevin Bloody Wilson the same day. Was a pretty good damn day.
I agree , IT was a pretty good damn year all round .
I remember when this first came out in the early 80's, what a classic.
So clever. Underrated for sure. This should be historic Australian literature.

Brilliant! I remember this from way back then. Does he say “why Ella” (Whyalla)? I suppose there’s too many suitable Aussie place names and phrases to include them all. Hilarious! 🪃
For all you non-Aussies, the skit is all about the Aussie locations and animals
Josh Gardiner Australian animals, locations, or things. The point is, this was a bit of fun at Australian cultures expense. Not every Australian is like this in real life, at least I am not and don't know anybody who is.

I was exactly like the people in the clip, not Austen Tayshus of course, but in 70's we were off the planet. So OK yes we are NO LONGER like this, you're right I guess. No more pulling bongs like at EVERY party or rock concert reeked of pot, police turned a blind eye. Shame really.
@@KevinHallSurfing You've been going to the wrong concerts and parties then.
@@SolarisOrion1 Haha ... obviously! But at my age 67 I admit going to parties is rare. 🤔😆
Such a classic, thanks !
great show love it
Happy Australia Day people.
Aus day 2019
...now and forever
love it since the first time i heard it
Absolute fuckin genius
I used to think this was hilarious but now I just think it's very creative.
Vegemite come too - i will never forget those three iconic words
F*cking genius!! Where are they, today???
Genius.
God this is good. Still hilarious in 2017
... and still hilarious in 2020.
... although because of context ... not getting as many laughs as it should, granted.
The memories flow
Had a great idea to play this to my American wife. What was i thinking?!
Had similar trouble with my Indonesian GF (now fiancé)!
You were thinking “Learn Aussie culture with a great Aussie video
Might see how my Singaporean wife warms to it, .... you know as she did to me! Mate pass the bucket
They'll stop you every 2 seconds to ask what the word means... Trust me, not worth it hahs
@MrMonkeyInk Mate! What a challenge - but there's hope . . . The words are spelled out here for her to learn :- genius.com/Austen-tayshus-australiana-lyrics
Beautiful
Saw him do this live in the 80’s, he also said motherf*cker a lot 😂. Such an Aussie skit, foreigners would never get it at all.
Where are the subtitles! I need them! I desperately need them!
One of the best, how good is Australia?
Lol any non Aussies understand this? I'm Aussie born and when ever I need a laugh I watch this.
@Zoe Finlayson Heh! It's a work in progress for this escaped Pom, every time I 'get' a new pun, I'm laughing too hard to get the next one. Utterly brilliant. My Aussie education in the UK was thanks to Bazza McKenzie cartoons, Dame Edna, Clive James and hundreds of blokes in pubs around Earls Court, London.
Australian humour at its best 😅
Still the best
Classic
Love it

Australia Day 2022
This is about as ocker as it gets
G'day,, id like to learn the full version of this in transcript, in word format and not video form and save it as a screenshot. Id like to learn it off by heart word for word. Does anyone know where i can find this ??
I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks Adam
Adam Just Google Austin Tayshus Australiana lyrics, I just did & it was there. I wanted it too.
@Adam. this is a good one:- genius.com/Austen-tayshus-australiana-lyrics
Boomer - is that actor Kristoffer Greaves? 0.20 in the audience, 0.40 & 3.52 as Boomer & 4.03 in the audience. Kristoffer was in Mad Max 2 as the disabled mechanic's offsider and in Running On Empty as the Starter - he wore the leg braces.
"I said mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm maybe I'll have some!!!" 😂😂🤣😂😂🤣
*maybe it'll have to.
@@katzrantz "Maybe I'll hafta!" (Have To)
@@Certifiable no.
Here 2019 ! 😂😂😂😂🖐️🖐️
Never realised how many puns this had until now.
nearly every line
Was written by Billy Birmingham.
lmao..... how much can a koala bear.....
Koalas are marsupials, NOT bears. Cheers, from Australia.

It all started from that phrase,
How much can a Koala bear.
“As a matter of fact mate he’s a cop.
I said ‘you’re joking mate a cop? I’m getting outta here! Let’s go Anna.”
Best bit 👌
I'm from US, and don't get it. Could you explain it to me?
@@AFanOfCinema
Cop = police officer
Goanna = large Australian monitor lizard
jasdre28 I'm still confused. How are those two things different from each other? 🙃
@@AFanOfCinema I think the joke is simply that he said "go Anna", which sounds like the name of the lizard. The whole skit is about using Australian plant, animal, and place names in puns.
jasdre28 Dude, I was trying to make a joke about a cop being a cold-blooded lizard.
Edit: It's actually my fault on this one. I should've used a bit more thought on how to execute the joke better.
FARKKKK YES.
