Shoot me now.
I preferred it when it was a simple tune that you could whistle.

So when's your appointment with the ear specialist Jillaroo??
I like the pidgin English version best of all but it wouldn't mean much to anyone here.
What the hell. It's worth a listen anyway, it's as close to 'original' Australian as they'll likely hear.

I like both of these versions of Waltzing Matilda. There have been so many over the years all good at their times.I wonder how many know the origins of the tune, sure the words were penned by Banjo Paterson, but the tune dates
way back into British history.
I have a cd on that history and the all sorts of performers of the song from Slim Dusty to The Banana Blenders....
Probably one of the saddest songs I know of is "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG48Ftsr3OI
