National Anthem of STRAYA (to the tune of Hey Ya)

LYRICS:

My country don't share no borders
'Cos of all the waters that surround our land
Thank god for our resources
'Cos they are the sources of our wealthy land
Don't try to find the capital
Or fight the animals
You're on your own
Just drive from town to paradise
And you'll see why we call Australia home

Straya
Straya
Straya
Straya

You think you've got it
Oh you think you've got it
But have you got a rock where there is nothing at all
We get together
Oh we get together
The weather's always better when there's cricket involved
And we believe that mateship is forever
We're all mates, we're all mates, we're all mates
We're all mates, we're all mates
And we're multicultural
So why ya why ya
Why ya why ya why ya
Not living in Australia when you know we are so happy here

Straya
Straya
Straya
Straya

Alright now fellas
Yeah!
Now what's cooler than a big cold beer?
Ice cold!

Shake it [x9]
Shake it like a polaroid picture
Shake it [x9]
Shake it like a polaroid picture

Straya
Straya
Straya
Straya

5 years later and all us Aussies are still vibing to this masterpiece in honour of steve

[MeltedToast]

I like how probably 80% of viewers aren’t even Australian, they’re just vibing

[ChiChiDoesStuff]

It’s Australia Day today and my neighbour started blasting this first thing in the morning. I’m angry I’m awake but still have mad respect for him.

[boiyo]

Moment of silence for the Australians that can’t find this

[toastjuice]

I don’t know about anyone else but at school we always sang the national anthem at assembly, could you imagine tho?
Teacher: “please stand calmly for the national anthem”
School: **stands** **inhales** STRAAAYYYAAAA

[LordGingerBerry]

Met this dude with such a heavy Australian accent he called it “Stray”. Took me 10 seconds of focus to turn “stray” into straya, straya into stralia, stralia into Australia.

[johnnysangelsis]

As an Australian, I can confirm this is indeed our national anthem.

[eliasgazze]

I'm from Argentina and I lived 1 year in Australia. Best country in the world!!

[raptorjesus]

You know Australians are tough when they play the same sport as Americans, but without the body armor.

The guy chugging the beer was our Prime Minister in the 90’s (Bob Hawke) I believe this was the day when Australia was celebrating a sporting win and he said ‘any boss who fires their staff for not coming into work tomorrow is a bum’

[deathnote]

Just a little fact for ya





W.A is bigger than any u.s.a state

[ilianakada]

I had no idea until now, how much i actually needed this in my life.

[pwood]

😂Brit here..visited back in 2004 for a month.Cried when I left...left a huge chunk of my heart there.Best country in the world.I ❤ you Australia.

[jt_hford]

Who got dis in their search history 4 years later



(even though I’m very happy I found it)

[darcigurney]

This makes me feel so proud to be Australian

[zakm]

Imagine if this was our national anthem, for real.

[jakeahrens]

Queensland Australia here!!! There is nothing truer than this bloody song…absolute banger…love it!!!! Best country on the fucken planet…you can’t change my mind !!! Hands down would die for this joint and the people living

[lotsohair]

Honestly, people really overexaggerate the whole deadly animals thing

Only 3 of my mates have died, tracking pretty good so far

[themacetrace]

This, Down Under, Waltzing Matilda, We are Australian, Australia’s Deadliest Animals, and Home Among the Gum Trees are the real national anthems of Australia. The actual one isn’t real.
