National Anthem

[OnSong]

To be honest, I don't really care which song it is, but there is a poll on AdelaideNow at the moment on which song should be our national anthem.
I am suggesting an SA Footy sting to vote for Johnny Farnham's You're The Voice.
If we can get this up, it will be a win for the people!

Vote here.

I can feel it, it's rising like a storm

It is, in my view, too late to change our National Anthem.We all identify with Advance Australia Fair, we all know it and the world recognises us by it.

I do agree that we could perhaps have a better song as our anthem but as our recent federal election shows, give the public the chance to choose something and they'll only **** it up!

Leave the anthem as it is.

[A Mum]

Agrees with Booney.

It's not the "Age of Reason" Booney, just vote for The Voice !!

One for old time SA Footy posters.

Every time I hear the song 'True Blue' - it reminds me of Steve Irwin.

I smell a rat - "OnSong" opening up a discussion on the National Anthem?

I stand whenever the national anthem is played.

I remove my hat whenever it is being sung.

I watch the cricket, at home, alone, and I stand.

I would never stand for another song so willingly...

It is Advance Australia Fair.

But to be a smartass, You're the Voice...

I am not amazed that You're The Voice is nowhere near it, I AM amazed that our current anthem is not winning.
