Al Murray on National Anthems
AL Murray National Anthems - YouTube
After watching Al Murrays video....
Not to shoot Jay Kays post down but, Judith Durham of the seekers ( A truly great citizen ) has completely rewritten the Advance Australia Fair anthem lyrically....
In my opinion her version is a lot more representative of an inclusive multicultural society, than the old crusty nationalistic one, and it should be officially adopted, post haste.
I also really like this one as an informal alternative, because we are one, but we are many from all the lands we come...
As far as the British songs go, I must say that Climb every mountain sort of works too, reminds me of a strong Britain like when Churchill led his united citizens to victory.
