+Doris Pelger Hiya Doris! When I re-heard the song, and really listened I got that impression. I first heard the song years ago watching Young Einstein. I'd say it's still one of my favorite movies. I love that kind of silliness. It's very moving once you let it speak to you.

I have - I did - and I can remember exactly when I first heard this monolith of a song that should be our national anthem! I have never tired of listening to it. Iva Davies is one of Australia’s most iconic music heroes. He deserves far more recognition than he ever got!
