oh my god!! he's fantastic i love the way he sings loud ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR!!! Australians r amazing!!! i'm italian n one day ill move to Australia just to listen to this great mate (and his beautiful aussie accent) :D
Hell Yeah , this would ROCK at the footy grand finals , or the grand prix , bathurst races. At least people would join in and rock on with it... LOVE IT Adam Hill your a legend;
Yes Thinfatman, that's you. I think this is a great clip, and I also serve my country, narrowminded people like you are what keep this country down... Go Aussies. Let's be proud to be Australian!!
According to my dictionary Girth means. 1. the measure around anything; circumference. 2. a band that passes underneath a horse or other animal to hold a saddle in place, esp. one having a buckle at each end for fastening to straps running from under the flaps of the saddle. 3. something that encircles; a band or girdle. verb (used with object) 4. to bind or fasten with a girth. 5. to girdle; encircle. No. 3 and 5 seem accurate here. Another spelling is girt.
It depends what you're referring to. The original song "Advanced Australia Fair" as composed by Peter Dodds McCormick in 1878/9 had four verses. There is another verse by an anonymous composer which sometimes found its way onto song sheets (hence the fifth verse). But when Advance Australia Fair was finally adopted as the national anthem only two verses were adopted. So yes the *song* Advance Australia Fair has four or five verses. But the Australian *national anthem* has only two verses.
my school has a tallent show every year and you perform infront of your house and then they vote on an act that is then performed infront of the whole school. I think next year i'll do this!
We use 'gert' near where I live (Bristol, UK,) but we don't use it to mean surrounded. Normally used with lush to describe something good ("That's gert lush.") Anyway..I think this is awesome. I love Adam Hills :D
ok if you live in sydney then you will see on the f3 all the bush and alot of the highways! but mainland sydney there isnt any bush. but when you drive out of sydney out are surrounded by bush. which isnt a bad thing. i love sydney and i love australia. and ive been living here for 20 solid years. and adam hill nailed that!
Templedelagloire I agree, Adam Hills is great on his show " The last leg" & was great on "Adam Hills Tonight" & "Gordon street Tonight" & with the original version of "Spicks & Specks" , he's underutilized as a performer & should also form a band {2 be lead singer, at least 4 charity albums & fund raising concerts}.
@PopLuverGal our high school thought it was necessary to make us sing it there too. but they also said socks other than white ones were detention worthy, so they were fucked in the head anyway.
This is why Australia is the best nation on Earth, how many countries can take the piss out of their own national anthem and have the vast vast majority of people laugh about it rather then threaten? Could you imagine what would have happened if this happened in the US? Or France?
The Aussie Nation Anthem SHOULD be "Waltzing Matilda". To play the music to Waltzing Matilda at the Olympics when we win gold and up on the dias, there wouldn't' be a dry Aussie eye in the place.
This actually gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it!!!!
makes me smile & enjoy singing along... unlike the drone along of when this song is mostly sung!
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY to all the proud aussies out there!!!! We rock!!!
I never thought the Australian Anthem could ever be epic or awesome. But Adam Hills proved me wrong. Frickin' kickass.
It actually sounds really good like this. This should be our anthem
lol I remember seeing this on the TV for the first time and thinking it was the best thing ever. Ihave the CD single of this lying around somewhere.
he has such a great voice as well as being fabulously funny - adam hills is the total package!
i would seriously love this to be the new national anthem lol
I'm inspired. As an English person I'm now wondering if we can fit God Save the Queen to Bohemian Rhapsody. We could air guitar to the Queen
we need this australians needs this to be the National Anthem
I'll take this into consideration.
Haahahah, dude that's fantastic! Who knew he could sing like that!
"And now the second verse that no one ever knows."
I’ve had this saved for 15 years?! Hahaha it’s still perfect
I lovee his personality. Such a beautiful character.
oh my god!! he's fantastic
i love the way he sings loud ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR!!!
Australians r amazing!!! i'm italian n one day ill move to Australia just to listen to this great mate (and his beautiful aussie accent)
:D
Must be one of the best national anthems ever if it can be rocked out like this!
Hell Yeah , this would ROCK at the footy grand finals , or the grand prix , bathurst races. At least people would join in and rock on with it... LOVE IT Adam Hill your a legend;
He is such a nice guy in person and completely nuts, but that's what makes him and all his songs so amazing :D
Adam Hills is my hero!!! XD
He's funny as hell, can joke about missing his leg, and is a pretty good singer XD
"Respect your mum!"
Absolutely We are Lucky. We have Humour, & when times get tough we all put in.
This is bloody brilliant. This really should be the way the national anthem should be sung. God bless this brilliant country of ours.
Yeah, he sang it at ours at the Enmore. It sounded so cool with the whole crowd singing along!
Best. Anthem. Ever.
This is FANTASTIC! Plz plz PLZ MAKE THIS OUR Anthem! I woud love to sing this every day istead of the one we have now!
Yes Thinfatman, that's you. I think this is a great clip, and I also serve my country, narrowminded people like you are what keep this country down... Go Aussies. Let's be proud to be Australian!!
He's my hero. He's got one leg, but he is still one og the funniest people i know.
I LOVE YOU ADAM!
Dude i serisouly agree, this wayof singing our anthem kicks ass man !
If the Australian anthem gets reworked into Working Class Man, I'm packing my bags and moving there immediately. Adam Hills is bloody brilliant. :D
I would so sing this EVERYDAY.

I love this version. I couldn't stop singing it.
That is now the greatest national anthem in the world ever.
love this even i am not Australian I love Aussie
I wish we did sing it like this... that would have been so fun more fun then singing the normal way when I was in Primary school.
Jessica
Who ever knew Adam could sing!
This should so be the Aussie National Anthem!!!!

1. the measure around anything; circumference.

5. to girdle; encircle.
No. 3 and 5 seem accurate here. Another spelling is girt.
man if they had this when we had to get up on parade every day and sing i would be like AWESOME
Would you look at that? He can sing!
I love how everyone joins in... Go Adam!
Why Cant it really be like this? BLOODY AMAZING!
We saw this when he first performed it...
We still sing the anthem this way. lol
His voice is amazing x

This is amazing. Imagine Barnesy singin' this at the NRL grand final...!!
so this seriously needs to be our anthem.

It depends what you're referring to.

I endorse this 100% we need a new tune, and this is it
i never knew he is a good singer! love it.
Who knew he could do impro so well, i wanted him to come on with a guitar and do an awesome guitar solo, if only he could do that for our NA (British)
Hills is a Legend.
And yes I to get goosebumps :)
woah the rhythm actually fits like perfectly!! =D awesome guy lol
We should petition for this to be our new anthem. ^^
im not an aussie but yes that would be one heck of an anthem for australia!...adam hills is GREAT!!!
lol love it
its bloody terrific!!
my school has a tallent show every year and you perform infront of your house and then they vote on an act that is then performed infront of the whole school. I think next year i'll do this!
Brilliant version of the National Anthem... and very funny too!
oh my god. this would be freakin' epic!

Adam, you are brilliant.
thumbs up absoulute legend thats the real national anthem
This is brilliant. I wonder how long it took him to find a song that fit that perfectly.
LOVE this so much!!! :)
We use 'gert' near where I live (Bristol, UK,) but we don't use it to mean surrounded. Normally used with lush to describe something good ("That's gert lush.")
Anyway..I think this is awesome. I love Adam Hills :D
We should so do it like that, that is soo good we need to debate on changing it like that!
Is it bad that I know the Australian National anthem better then my own, England.
yeahh he is so funny have seen some videos now with him. He's good
Bloody awesome
now thats a national anthem to be proud of :)
This pisses all over our shoddy official version of the Australian National Anthem.
Adam Hills, you are great!
bloody brilliant!
ok if you live in sydney then you will see on the f3 all the bush and alot of the highways! but mainland sydney there isnt any bush.
but when you drive out of sydney out are surrounded by bush. which isnt a bad thing. i love sydney and i love australia. and ive been living here for 20 solid years.
and adam hill nailed that!
as an american who has absolutely no right to have an opinion, i'd just to say, this guy has a point!
loves it.
I'm Irish myself and i think our antem should be set to 7 Drunken Nights by The Dubliners
love this!
he's a good singer
Templedelagloire I agree, Adam Hills is great on his show " The last leg" & was great on "Adam Hills Tonight" & "Gordon street Tonight" & with the original version of "Spicks & Specks" , he's underutilized as a performer & should also form a band {2 be lead singer, at least 4 charity albums & fund raising concerts}.
OMG!! Australia should change their anthem to this! It would be amazing!!! I would listen to it all day and I'm Canadian!
THAT'S THE WAYYY!! imagine that being played at the olympics when we win gold! LOL
I know the second verse. But only because we used to have to sing it at our Primary school asemblys every day.
Adam mate, you've made me want to move to Australia
he sang this at the end of his inflatable show in perth sooooo good
@DNX73R that's what i was thinking!
im italian and i was singing this out loud!!!
if someone sang my anthem like he does i'd probably get mad :D
This HAS to be Australia's national anthem. Now.
@PopLuverGal our high school thought it was necessary to make us sing it there too. but they also said socks other than white ones were detention worthy, so they were fucked in the head anyway.
I just watch the actual 2012 thing last night (I think) AND THEY HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PERFORMANCES IN SOME PARTS?!
I'd vote for this version of the anthem. It's a far better reflection of our character
if we changed it to this we would have the best national anthem!
love this so much. he aint a bad singer. and very good looking ^^
This is why Australia is the best nation on Earth, how many countries can take the piss out of their own national anthem and have the vast vast majority of people laugh about it rather then threaten? Could you imagine what would have happened if this happened in the US? Or France?
im not even Australian and i want this to be the Australian national anthem :D
I'm a Kiwi and this version needs to be used at all events. It beats the shit out of the current one and makes ours sound like shit
thats bloody tops mate.
he's great :)
I'd actually stand for this.
The Aussie Nation Anthem SHOULD be "Waltzing Matilda". To play the music to Waltzing Matilda at the Olympics when we win gold and up on the dias, there wouldn't'
be a dry Aussie eye in the place.
saw him playin footy in ireland at the cats laugh match
:]

im telling my kids this is the actual Australian anthem
now imagine if thats how we sung our NA?
