I heard this song when I was stationed in South Korea in 1996. There was a television in the NCO club that sometimes showed Australian country music videos. I still sing it almost every time I drink a beer even though I haven't heard it in 21 years. Thank you Mr. Dusty for a song I'll carry around until the day I die. God rest his soul.
I went looking for this song for a reason tonight and I was telling people how I found out about Slim...same thing man, 96 at Kunsan, AB. Slim, Cricket, and the Great American Quiz thing (or whatever it was called) on the armed forces channel instead of commercials - also, $5 carton's of GPC cigarettes and $10 cases of old milwaukee
I remember as a kid I was embarrassed I liked Slim Dusty & when he died Mum could tell I was upset & let me stay home from school & I watched the funeral from behind our lounge on the TV so Mum wouldn't see me cry 😂❤ love Slim & love my Mum xx
Tam don't be embarrassed. I grew up in outback QLD with Slim visiting every year. I loved his shows and I saw him at the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympics. I love his music.
its a shame the old town and country has shut down i would of loved to have a cold one there. i will always be a fan of slims and never let his music die
My late Father's name was Kevin and he was a huge fan of Slim Dusty. The whole family had so much fun singing this song when it was released and Dad loved it God Bless him. I miss him so much. Slim Dusty is a true Aussie Icon.
And so they should OLIAINes 3723 Auatralia is a great country. I spent a number of years in New Zealand in the sixties and went tons of times to Aussie in my capacity as an Able Bodied seaman on N Z coastal ships . Always enjoyed the company of our Antipodean cousins.
This song never gets old, I love it when he plays Duncan live when he changes it up but sill work. Every time I have a beer I raise the glass up and say God bless you Slim, what a legend cheers Slim dusty
I love to have a beer with Aussie I love to have a beer with Oz We drink in moderation And we never need a reason, it's "just because" We drink at the Town and Country Where the atmosphere is great I love to have a beer with Aussie 'Cos Aussie's me mate! Cheers from New Zealand!
Slim Dusty was always being played in the house, growing up.. when Duncan was playing, My Grandfather, after a few beers would shout at the end, "I Love To Have A Beer With Duncan, CAUSE DUNCAN'S MY ROOT!!" 😆😆
Tack has been cleaning everyday with doing the same for the weekend for about two months after your baby was looking forward playing with u in there now and there are many other ways to make video work there in a world that
From an instrumental point of view, I have always had an appreciation for the way of which Slim decided to 'Change Key' on his guitar just to add another simple but very professional element to the song itself. He makes it all sound so effortless as I'm sure you will agree!
My Brother and I are 3 years apart, and grew up listening to this on our CD player while we fell asleep. We had always thought that our Dad knew Slim, and told him to put our names in the song; because our names aren’t super common going by the amount of people that I have met. My name is Robert, and my brothers name is Colin 😁. This song is still one of my favourites!
Wonderful Song One Of Slim's Very very best the old bloke Kevin at 1.03 looks exactly like a Kevin I used to Drink with in the late 1990s and Early 2000s! Also used to drink with a bloke called Bob too in A Pub In Port Melbourne! Love That Line "Just One More Then Back On The Job"!😀🤠🎙️🎸🎶🎵🎼🍺🍻🏚️🇦🇺
I first heard this song in 2019. I just stumbled upon it again! I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since then. I love this song! Sending love from the United States!!
Kicking back here on the big beach at Gulf Shores. Listening to Slim. Several people have stopped by to ask who I'm listening to. I tell em and they tell others, Slims name will never fade. Well I'm off to the FloraBama to meet me mates and knock down a few sudsers. Keep it bonzer Aussies, God loves ya, Bama Boozin Bob does too.
I love this song so much. Mum and Dad had, ( I still have the 45). They got it when it came out. Dad was named Robert, but called Bob and 2 of Mum's brothers were Pat and Kevin, who I was close to. Great memories of playing this during family gatherings. Always a laugh. Times to remember. Would go back in a heart beat.
*I am a Polish-Canadian .... and I love this Australian song, since I first heard it from the movie "On the beach" (1959) starring with: Ava Gardner, Gregory Peck & Fred Astaire.* ~ It is kinda climate of peace and harmony in this nice and natural melody of this song ~ *Go Aussies, go !!!!* :o))
That's what I thought too! I'm an Irish folk singer and we have many drinking songs but I don't think any of them are as mild mannered as this one! Google "The Waxies' Dargle", if you can understand the Dublin twang.
@Nick Valerio not quite from The Wiggles. This song was written in 1980. But The Wiggles did do an adorable cover with Slim called “I’d like to have a dance”
Once again I'll be having a beer with Slim Dusty my late pops favorites Aussie country singers! One of the greats of country R.I.P 1927- 2003 so sad he passed on my 12th birthday. but you'll be the past present and future of my music enjoyment!
I played this song at my dad's funeral,when the song started quite a few people said YEAH! The song described my dad perfectly.george Balfour stark 16/03/33-23/11/2007.still miss ya old mate!
So when I was 14 I found out this was the man my Dad used to play guitar for (he also played it for Slim’s daughter Anne) and at the same time I found out he was in this song... I cry every time I hear his bit as he left this world 30 years ago. RIP KEVIN McLAREN
A local wrote this song about having beers with mates at The Town & Country pub in St Peters, a suburb of Sydney. He mailed it to the PO Box listed on a Slim Dusty album. Slim didn't like it but his wife insisted he recorded it.. and the rest was history :)
I first came across this song after realizing his appearance on the wiggles was not, in fact, an original song about wanting to dance with wags. I feel both robbed and rewarded
I was thinking about the Wiggles version the other day and I was like surely it's not I like to have a beer with WAGs the dog haha. Should of been that instead
Encouraging drink driving, a true Aussie pastime! I never drove home from our local sober! This represents the Real Australia, something that has been seriously derided, nearly destroyed, but a small flame keeps it alive, well beyond the multi-cultural capitals!
Honestly slim dusty should be in the school curriculum so this aussie legends never i die i know that my sisters in law has never even heard bout slim so its very sad
Slim is an icon from a better time when life was simpler.
Bloody oath mate
I had the pleasure of having a drink with Slim and he was a genuinely nice guy.
Where was the Town and Country that he mentions in the song ?
@@gorillaau 2 Unwins Bridge Rd, St Peters NSW 2044, Australia
It closed this year in July. It’s in Sydney. Town and Country Hotel

Same 👍🇦🇺
I miss Slim Dusty!!! What excellent music to hear in a pub, even to this day. :)
J-Man n
wow, I didn't know there was a music video for this song! Slim Dusty's songs makes me proud to be an Australian!!!
And so they should OLIAINes 3723 Auatralia is a great country. I spent a number of years in New Zealand in the sixties and went tons of times to Aussie in my capacity as an Able Bodied seaman on N Z coastal ships . Always enjoyed the company of our Antipodean cousins.

Rest in Peace Slim Dusty. Best music ever created.
I love to have a beer with Aussie
I love to have a beer with Oz
We drink in moderation
And we never need a reason, it's "just because"
We drink at the Town and Country
Where the atmosphere is great
I love to have a beer with Aussie
'Cos Aussie's me mate!
Cheers from New Zealand!
Lol
Cheers I hate how we fight over who’s the better country we both know we are bot the best out of everyone.
Aussie is a shortening of Australian, not Australia. The shorter version of Australia is Straya.
@@Wubblu Aussie can also be used as short for Australia.
@@lordnelson455 No Nelson, it can't.
Just one more then back on the job. Classic rob haha
TRUE AUSTRALIAN LEGEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great memories these days will never come back unfortunately. 😢
I would have loved to had a beer with Slim, because Slim is me mate! "Cheers."
A great Slim Dusty track that was a major part of his legacy!
Great song for a great legend. Rest in peace, Slim

Classic. Deservedly Aus no 1 in 1981
imagine being one of Slim's mates that didn't get name-dropped in this track.
Aye hahaha

When c a new business
my name is Colin and my cat's name is Duncan, all by coincidence, yet this song still makes me smile.
I'm in my mid 20s and I've loved this song ever since I first heard it on some radio station playing old songs.
From an instrumental point of view, I have always had an appreciation for the way of which Slim decided to 'Change Key' on his guitar just to add another simple but very professional element to the song itself. He makes it all sound so effortless as I'm sure you will agree!
Nothing like knocking back a Crown in a small town pub with Slim in the background.
Slim likes his beers and friends. A wholesome guy....love him 😋
