Anthem word change

From Anthem to Lady Boys, only on the Kennel lol.

I don't mind. I mean, young and free is related to the age of the country but it's not really young any more. Should probably remove "free" as well.

I honestly don't care if they change it. They can change it to Land Downunder for all I care.

Well, most Aussies know about as many words to the chorus of Downunder as they do the anthem.

Why stop at just one word?

I suggest

Australians all let us rejoice in our stupidity
We resist even minor change and think illogically
Our land abounds in silly twats who think it would be wrong
To make a few adjustments to an uninspired song
If you're hung up on just one word you really are a schlong

Schlong was my nickname in high school. True story.

How bout we just make our Anthem complete silence for 2 minutes, then no one can get offended as there is nothing there, no lyrics no nothing.

Australians all let us rejoice,
And let's not forget aborigine...........
There problem solved

 

[Bob dog]

Its not even worth the effort, since when is the Anthem racist ?

 

[south of heaven]

Personally think we should change the name of our state any ties to the welsh bother me ,the state should be named after the greatest little town that has ever existed ( although it was a big change when we got our first set of traffic lights. )
New south woy woy

 

[Shanked]

Australia's a fucken disgrace, Bob Dogs disgusted.

Honestly I’m for changing the whole thing. I’m 38 and advance Australia fair doesn’t do much for me, doesn’t get sung with passion by anyone.... the seekers I am Australian needs to be the anthem. A shorter edited version. Advance Australia fair had only been around since the 80s.. no one will miss it

Waltzing Matilda as the anthem will send shivers down your spine sung with passion at international level. Imagine Wallabies v England in Rugby and hearing the crowd sing the main chorus FFS. @Rodzilla

Trouble is people only know the chorus. The rest of the song is about a derro who stole some sheep, makes out with his own bedding, and then drowns himself. As appropriate as you or I feel this might be as an accurate depiction of Australia, too many respectable types will say no.

I wont lose sleep either way tbh. If the indigenous feel that offended about it. And it will make them feel better. Change it to something we all like. An anthem can change

Tbh, most Australians don't know all the words, especially when it comes to the 2nd verse.

 

[EXPLORER]

I do get the frustration from the aboriginal people on this one.
And i really do dislike our anthum compared to others.

Id be fine with a new wording or even an entire new song.

As long as it doesnt go to far the other way and become just another fuck white man PC rubbish.

I think most australians do know the first verse, the second verse not so much.
Generally because noone ever sings it in its entirety

Lol here we fkn go.
the left continuously wanting to change everything.
Any push back, and it’s refuted with. What’s the big deal how does it affect you lol.
Well, exactly what is the fkn big deal and how does it affect you. What’s next? Changing street traffic lights to gender neutral icons? Wait....

 

[Realist90]

Dear o dear.

It’s so funny how things have changed so much. I used to be a young Lebo, that hated the anthem and told by whites to respec it, now that I love it I’m told by whites to notice and accept the racism and oppression and have it changed.
