The Australian National Anthem sounds like any ol’ National Anthem! Talks about being proud, the beauty of Australia, and loving Keith Urban (that last one I made up)

Australians have started a petition to change the National Anthem! Now they aren’t asking for lyrical change, music change, or name dropping Keith Urban…they actually want a whole new song to replace it!

Australians would like to have Outkast’s 2003 hit ‘Hey Ya‘ as their new National Anthem

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull responded to the petition by saying: “The Australian National Anthem is widely accepted and popularly supported by a majority of Australians. The Australian Government has no plans to change the Anthem.”

FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS STORY if Canada had to choose another National Anthem I would choose…

Ahhh The Great White North!
