Doug - Yup . that's what i was referring to .   I think  wolf creek # 3  had that song in it ,  first time i heard it .  along with  a few other  Australian pub shanty's . 

Basicly ,, the killer doesn't like tourists  pissing all over  his country , and  a victim tries to show his knowledge of Australian culture  , with drinking  songs ,  they ended up drinking together ,  while the killer made  it a torturer drinking game .    etc ... lol.

Thanks anonymous pick, I think! Had to Google “Wolf Creek” to attempt to get your reference which I’m guessing is the horror/thriller Wolf Creek set in Australia! Interesting!!!

Gave me a  "Wolf creek"  flashback ,, but  that was nice   ;-)

Thanks for the kind words Uncle John! I do wish I could have all my friends singing the chorus with me, unfortunately, Zoom doesn’t work that way. Maybe we will be able to actually meet together in the near future and do just that. We have in the preZoom days, which are now the good ole days!!!

Am I sending you ESP wave lengths!?!?!?   I had this song in my head a couple of days ago.   Great and fun song.  You do it very proud.  The only way I can see to improve it would be if you could have all your friends singing along on the 'Tie Me kangaroo Down'  parts.

Funny, back when with this song was new, I did not 'get' the Duck - Bill part.  I guess I was young and lacking in pun type experience.

Well done.  I can't do the 'talking' songs.
