One of the greatest songs of all time. Lyrically is fantastic, and the guitar solo is a ball tearer. Even better when blitzed.

Great song from a underated band that should have been bigger in Australia.

Check out the album Operation Mindcrime......its a concept album and a real classic. Loved it as a teenager in the late 80's. :)
Is out of change.....thanks Cambridge Clarrie!!!

Nah...besides "This is Australia" is a better song anyway. ;)


I'd include Under The Milky Way from The Church for the almost perfect Aussie song. And Overkill from Men At Work.
