Adam Hills – Working Class Anthem


What do you get when you cross the lyrics of Advance Australia Fair with an iconic Aussie rock song? Adam Hills presents Working Class Anthem Filmed at The Venue, Hobart, as part of the 2007 Hobart Comedy Festival. (apologies for my bad singing, but i was getting right into it…)

    Whenever I hear the anthem being played i start to sing it like this. i can not help it thats just the way it comes to me. this is done so well that it sounds like it just fits, this is the way the anthem should be!

    And Adam calls me his stalker! I’ve only seen him three times solo, once with Adam Rozenbachs, and a Spicks and Specks taping. So I might be on his new dvd if i was there the night is used.

    I can not listen to either with out changing the tune or the words. . . had not heard the actual anthem in ages. . . then I watched the olympics, and we won. . . the anthem comes on. . . and I’m like. . . “Wait, this is not our anthem… They’ve messed up the music..” My whole class just looked at me. . .

    I have to admit I can not listen to Working Class Man without changing the lyrics. . .

    I’m singing so that as our anthem now. . . we needa Rudd petition to change it. . .

    I agree the lyrics are fine, its the tune people do not like. You hear the Russian, French or American anthems they have grand music. Keep the lyrics but make the music better.

    Can he do this to God Save the Queen? Although ours has rubbish lyrics as well.

  21. On April 25, 2011 CharlotteKnowles18 says:

    Wish he’d do something to the British one, ours sucks ass too. I’m actually impressed coz he’s got a really good singing voice too: a comedy legend and a decent singer. . . plus he’s fit as. . .

    I vote this as our National Anthem, the other one is crap.

    Hillsy – you are a legend. This is the best version – send it to everyone you know so we can have a new anthem by January 2008 !!!!!!!!
