2 questions.

1. What's your home country?
2. What's the best song you've ever heard about it?


1. I live in Australia.
2. Land Down Under by Men At Work is just so funny yet cool to hear, no matter when. I mean, where else are you going to hear a lyric like:

I said, do you speak my language?
She just smiled, and gave me a Vegemtie sandwich

And she said

I come from a land down under
Where women grow and men plunder
Can you hear, can you hear that thunder
You betta run, better take cover

1. The United States of America
2. That one song with the line "And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free, and I won't forget the men who died to give that right to me..." Good song. ;)

1. England :wave:

2. Most suck; especially the football anthem 'vindaloo' - but I think 'three lions' by Badiel and Skinner (with the lightning seeds) is probably the best England song for a while.

2. No people insult of my country song, but a friend of mine had recreated it into a funny version of saying that about laziness of the country, which is a bit true.
