Ooooh our dancing today - 22.05.22 - is just as joyful, and with an extra edge of fierceness fired by the grief of the last 3 years. I first heard this song live, and it floored the room. Onwards and upwards, folks!
We green we homoWe came down from the trees we leave no tracks not like Jacques chirac who don geeve a dark Murora atol dark outta control we green we dark about it we shalom we homo we woke✨Stoked as the next bloke that sco-no scomo did not pass the pub test Remember the passion in that pensioners serve Gold x
mate I saw these guys perform this live changing the lyrics to be about Mubarak and the toppling of dictators in the Middle East during the 2011/12 Arab Spring...it is totally likely that they will redo this song just for scomo
14 years ago, I was 18, and my head was largely filled with the propaganda talking-points of traditional mass-media, that the LNP were the better economic managers, and all that shit. I didn't like this song when I heard it on the radio. Since then I've learned and grown a lot, and my understanding of politics is far better than what it was. It's not even a matter of scale. I had negative-understanding of politics back then, as nearly half of the country still do. Maybe even more than half (some people vote well, but still have a shit understanding of things). Now I understand how much and how badly the media has been playing us all, for longer than any of us have been alive. I understand acutely how much suffering the LNP (and other parties around the world that are similar to them) cause to so many innocent people, and it pains me to see how electorally successful they often are. Revisiting this song, now, it really hits hard. Although, I think the "King" in all this is not Howard, or Morrison. It's the collective of the oligarchs who control our media and politics. When oligarchs no longer control the media, and their influence they've had on people's politics starts to really be undone, that is when I think we can truly say the king is dead. But Morrison's government going down, even with an immense amount of propaganda helping them, that is no small feat. I'll definitely be re-visiting this song, in future.
Yup, muchly needed now in the dis-united kingdom, reeling evermore from the theft of its assets by successive Tory governments. Brexit was an act of treason, enabled by a right-wing media-led culture of misinformation. Its architects, to millions in the UK are now traitors who should be languishing in the dungeons of The Tower of London. 'Abandon all hope ye who enter here'
This was was catalyst song when I decided to no longer be a Real Estate Property Manager. And o this day I am so happy 😀Thank you Jane Tyrell and all the crew Horrorshow and Earthboy 👊🏽
I like when Jett won that your the hottest one hundred And when they got the call someone in the back of their call went Yeah ?! Fuck Yeah ! Oh bullshit ! Makes me love Straya
I remember seeing these guys + Butterfingers at mudford folkie 99 or 2000. Gold toppy had just unveiled its inky blu filaments .. thought her singing was like an angel I was a bit like Forrest when he first sees Jennie on the schoolbus
I mean, how did this work out in the end, seems to me nothing has changed. We had three governments in two terms then a series of ousting on the other side, still seems the same now.
is this supposed to be about John Howard or Kevin Rudd? I'd say Rudd, simply from the line "got your ass beat in Mandarin" becuase Rudd spoke Mandarin?
what do you mean mean by the king is dead? I was born in Tassie in 1989 and moved to the states in 1998. tell me please what went wrong. I live in the USA now and things are VERY bad. perhaps we can be pen pen pals lol :)
In certain ways things havent changed, Were pulling out of Iraq in a few years, apparently were staying in afghanistan which is a joke. More changes still need to be made. The fact things havent changed and what the people of Australia were promised wasnt done is the reason people feel this country is getting worse. Either Liberal or Labour in power we will always have problems when money/power hungry people are given this much power.
@tomwalshisthesickest People were too stupid to realise that we had arguably Australias best treasurer in Peter Costello and people thought that even though unemployment was at an all time low, we had to vote in an inexperienced government for the sake of change.
To be honest Howard compared to Rudd and Gillard, Howard dragged our country into war and other socio-economic problems. Atleast ol' Johnny boy isnt still in power, we can't let it happen again. Let the changes begin
Interesting how so many comments reference the removal of Liberal governments. There is a reason that Labor were beaten so badly in the last election...the first leader went a bit nutty, the 2nd leader (who never got voted in by the public) got kicked out so the nutty one could return. Nice stable government there. For my money Howard was the only decent leader for the last 10 years. Love this song all the same tho!!!
Hey Liam, how does your analysis stack up now???? A dummy spat due to a civil war in the Liberal party removed a duly elected Prime Minister. And this dummy spat from the hard right that COULD NEVER EVER GET ELECTED ON THEIR POLICIES because they are so out of step with the electorate and, yet, did that deter them????? Kevin Rudd hurt the Labor cause and I want to state that clearly and own it. However, both true modern Labor values represent the electorate at large more accurately and the current Federal Labor Party is more disciplined and experienced than the Liberal Party and there is a civil war running through the Liberal Party that alone should disallow them from government. These toadies are taking their cues from Trumpian dog whistling and populism. Troi oi!!!!!
Time to bring this banger back out of retirement.
already got rid of john howard long ago, and now scomo so no need - until the next fascists come along. We'll also beat them.

To all those coming back to this in late May 2022: everything must change. Nothing stays the same.
This song wound up being overly optimistic, hoping the 2022 edition holds up better
@@glycxx It's a statement of intent, an exhortation/invitation to make it true, rather than a prediction of what was most likely to happen.

I'm honestly unsure about how this song hasent got millions of views.. This song hits the heart for years!
People don't know they don't know.
IKR 100 or so of these views would be from myself over the years
Ditto
It's a very Australian song and there are not a lot of Australians, specifically older Aussie hip hop fans.

Thankyou For Your Service 🙏
Geeze camping jam back in the days ..shout out from Geelong.
The herd are underground talent that only ozzies know of, I grew up on this shit and you can't beat it.
Bloody truth - the only reason I listen to this song now is, I have heard it on some occasion back in Land Down Under.
about ten years ago i played a few tracks to a Georgian (europe) friend of mine, and they hhave been her favourite band ever since :)
Back then in 2010, this happened to be the first song in my Nokia Xpress Music. Great song!
I'll b singing this when tony Abbott is no longer PM
