Our anthem is fucking gay. They should change it to waltzing matilda or some shit.

As an Australian, I am ashamed of our national anthem.
The Russians followed by the Chinese have the coolest national anthems.
Russian: youtube.com
Chinese: youtube.com
Why do we have such a shameful anthem? Fuck Australia.

Fuck off back to China cunt

If you think that the Australian nation anthem is any good, you're a cunt with bad taste in music. We seriously need a new one.

The modern version of our anthem is a joke. Reminder that they actually censored it back in the 80's or 90's.
>Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
>Or dare a foot to land,
>We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore,
>To guard our native strand;

it should be matilda

This, cunts fucking changed it,
This is the real deal here, Also I don't get why waltzing matilda should be our anthem, it's just a folk song and isn't really nationalist.
James Cox
>defending an embarrassingly bad anthem
I bet you unironically listen to Slim Dusty and like it, you shit cunt.
National anthem should make us feel pride to be Australian, not embarrassed. We have the worst one in the world. Even Africans have a better one.

secretly one of our real national anthems. australia has around 15 national anthems. they are all our hit songs from 50-90's
Aaron Walker
GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA
Once - a single time
jolly - gay, but not in the same sense as that understood by the young men of Darlinghurst. (US readers subsitiute "San Francisco" or something similar in place of "Darlinghurst".)
swagman - itinerant worker, called a swagman because of the "swag" normally carried by such persons. A swag comprises the worldly belongings of the swagman, wrapped in a blanket and formed into a back-pack. A swagman is also known as a "swaggie"
camped - made camp (nothing to to do with the behaviour of the Darlinghurst set)
billabong - oxbow lake formed when a meandering river cuts through its own course leaving a segment of the river isolated from the main stream
under - beneath. Implies that there is something above (this may be wishful thinking)
shade - half a pair of sunglasses
coolabah - type of tree which grows in some of Australia's wetlands
tree - a woody thing with leaves, which gets pissed upon by dogs
and he - a distortion of the swagman's name (Andy)
sang - another distortion
watched - something the swaggie did while waiting
waited - something the swaggie did while watching
'till - another distortion. Not to be confused with the money receptacle found at the checkout in most stores.
billy - a tin can with a lid, and a looped wire handle over the top. Used by denizens of the Australian outback as a cooking utensil primarily for the boiling of water to make tea
boiled - what happened to the water when it was heated to 100 degrees. (This effect is not so apparent in backward countries like the US, where the water must be heated to over 200 degrees before anything interesting happens)
Angel Flores
>waltzing matilda
why would a bush poem about a bloke stealing a sheep and then immediately killing himself be our anthem?
Zachary Walker
desu Russia's anthem is the best
Easton Turner
Agreed.
Leo Martinez
Fuck off communist cunt, you pathetic good for nothing shit.
Brandon Morgan
go to Russia then faggot you're not wanted here
Adam Ramirez
You'll - a distortion
come - no comment
waltzing - walking; the term used by swagmen to describe their means of travel
matilda - the name given by one particular swagman to his swag. Apparently the swaggie in question was a Dutchman who came to Australia after his wife, Matilda, had died. He adopted the swaggie's lifestyle, and named his swag in memory of his wife. Use of the name spread. (This is supposed to be a true story. Really.)
down - opposite of up (see next line of song)
jumbuck - a sheep, specifically a young ram
drink - to swallow water or other liquid, to imbibe alcoholic beverages (the latter being somewhat unlikely behaviour for a sheep, so water is assumed - this assumption may not be correct however, since it is said "to drink at" as opposed to "from")
up - opposite of down (see previous line of song)
jumped - to have performed a jump or leap, or in this case probably just standing up briskly.
grabbed - seized suddenly, snached
glee - Matilda had been dead for quite some time
shoved - pushed, stuffed, packed. Presumably after skinning and gutting
tucker - food, hence "tucker-bag"
bag - sack, usually made of hessian. The term also refers to a woman of similar appearance (to the hessian bag, not the sheep.)
squatter - a landholder through occupancy rather than purchase
mounted - sitting upon (we hope this is not a reference to the Darlinghurst types mentioned at the beginning)
thoroughbred - a breed of horse. Not much use in the Australian bush or as a farm horse, but probably ridden by the squatter as a symbol of wealth. A similar phenomenon may be observed in Sydney, where one can see the odd yuppie driving his Ferrari over the Harbour Bridge in the peak-hour.
trooper - outback policeman
one, two, three - just to show that the swaggie could count
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?"
- a singularly redundant question
Zachary Cox
Their anthem is the best, not their country you dumb nigger
Ryan Lewis
disagree youtube.com
Joseph Adams
>Up jumped the swagman and jumped into the billabong
jumped(1) - (see previous definition)
jumped(2) - in this case probably more of a misguided leap, especially when one considers the ending to the song
alive - what the sheep isn't
Wyatt Lopez
Ask them what they'd replace it with to ferret out if they're anti-Australian or speaking in good faith. I'd replace our national anthem, but with Battle Hymn of the Republic because the tune is so much better. I'd probably update the lyrics though.

I'm a Southerner but you're off your rocker if you think any civil war era song can compete with BHotR, ignoring lyrics. Get someone like Stephen Miller to rewrite the lyrics for our contemporary zeitgeist.

The Hendrix version is better btw.

It is a good anthem, we are not changing it. Put it to a vote again, we will vote to keep it again. For all you little Gen Z ankle biters here, shut your fucking mouth it, you were raised by progressive druggies and you are too young to have an opinion on the matter. Shut the fuck up. And as for the yank OP, turn up to a world war on time you piece of shit taxing dodging coward, you are allies to no one and morally corrupt vultures scavenging on war debt.

The plurality of commenters here acknowledge the Russian anthem as best among anthems, and I think part of this is because the melody has a tragic, minor key quality. Yes, Dixie is more celebratory, but aside from the political considerations of using such a song, I think the "tragic" nature of a song such as BHotR is more apropos for us now. We're no longer a young unscathed nation (look how many around today are newer, almost none have older continuously operated governments). While our tragedies and missteps aren't on the same scale as Russia's, our continued existence and status as a free people has been called into question in recent decades. We should find the encouragement to persevere.
BHotR combines the sadness and tragedy of what we must live through with the certainty and faith that we *will* see it through successfully, through sheer grit if nothing else. Star-Spangled Banner has elements of that, but in a more microcosmic and self-congratulatory way. In my opinion, BHotR is the musical encapsulation of the following quote:
>The North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction, they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche; and what I fear is, they will overwhelm the South.
-Sam Houston
Evan Brooks
Fuck Melbourne. The city is just a degenerate nest of latte sipping scrawny manbun hipsters destined for the gas chambers, while the surrounding suburbs are infestested by lebanese trash. West Sydney is like this also.
Wyatt White
If you compare it to German, Russian, Polish... whatever European country... It's gay, wow. There should be something about ANZACs at least, I think.
