American reacts to National Anthem of STRAYA

[@utha2665]

Haha, no, this isn't the words to our national anthem, this is what people "think" it should be. Just so you know, that person skulling the beer was Bob Hawke in 2017, he was Prime Minister from 1983 - 1991, in this video he was in his 80s. He once held the world record of skulling a yard glass of beer in 11 seconds. He originally was the leader of the ACTU which is the Australian Council of Trade Unions. The dinosaur, Dororthy, is a member of the kids group "The Wiggles". I think all the original members have retired, but it still goes on in name. Some of the celebrities towards the end were Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil (4:00), The Wiggles (4:14), Kylie Minogue (4:25), Angus Young from ACDC (4:35). As for vegemite, here's a good history on it and what it's made from. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ-tnml9e8x_sLs

I just realised 2 names you mentioned that 2 of my family worked with them. My father wasn’t a politician but in the ACTU before Bob Hawke was prime minister. I remember dad going to Canberra with meetings with Bob. And my daughter was in a concert in Hong Kong, gee many years ago now , different performance though, with The Wiggles. She said they were lovely men. I still have 2 pics of her with purple and yellow Wiggles. I’ve just never seen Bob and the Wiggles mentioned in the same sentence, just a bit of family trivia lol.

[@Hochspitz]

Well done! That was an excellent explanation of all.

[@adrienneeast1013]

One OG Wiggle is left and that is the Blue Wiggle Andrew.

[@joraston]

@@adrienneeast1013there is no Andrew in the original Wiggles. I think you’re thinking of Anthony

[@allangoodger969]

The "Barney" is Dorathy the dinosaur out of the wiggles. Two blokes started out a rock band called the Cockroaches. They then went to university to study early childhood education and the wiggles was born. CRICKET we just won the international cricket cup. If you don't know anything about cricket have a look at "Cricket Explained for Baseball Fans" or "The Rules of Cricket - EXPLAINED!" and then when you have got your head around it, have a look at "Cricket moments that shocked everyone".

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

Love the channel mate. The Prime ministers name was Bob Hawke and no joke you can look it up, he was actually the beer sculling champion of Australia before being prime minister.

[@GreenDistantStar]

World Champ, for drinking a yard of ale.

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

@@GreenDistantStar even better, brings a tear to the eye of any true Aussie. Couldn't be any more proud.

[@Tully_23_32]

Also when Bob sculled the beer he was surrounded by the boys dressed up as the "Richie's" after Richie Benaud & were chanting for Bob to scull. That was at the SCG at the traditional New Year/Sydney test, the 5th & final test of the 17/18 season & it was against the Poms where we easily retained the Ashes 4-0. I do remember that coz i was actually there at the SCG on that day which was day 1.

[@ray.shoesmith]

Bob Hawke was in the Guiness Book of Records for the fastest downing of a yardglass. The man didn't have a gullet, he could pour it straight down his neck.

[@julesmarwell8023]

Hooray we just won THE CRICKET WORLD CUP. eat your heart out poms

[@traceyreid4702]

That's Dorothy the Dinosaur from "The Wiggles".

[@arfyseal]

Mate you dont get enough recognition for your reactions lol im not sure what it is about the way you go about it but i have been subbed for a long time now . The primeminister thing that was Bob Hawke he held or holds not sure if its current the guiness world recond for scolling a yard glass of beer when he was at University in England at the time the video as taken he had given up alcohol and all the microphones in the foreground were from guys that were doing a take off of Richie Benaud a famous cricket commentator at the time . Bob Hawke also told bosses around Australia when we won the Americas cup from the US that they were Bums if they didnt give people the day off after the race :) What you thought was Aussie Barney was actually Dorothy the Dinosaur part of the Wiggles show i believe is pretty well known over there as well ( at least in families with small kids ) keep up the good work !

[@sibertiger1970]

Vegemite is flavoured yeast extract.

[@vegasvisitor-o3e]

Think someone should send him a few Aussie foods and a small jar of Vegemite, but with very specific instructions, cause its stupid to let them spread it too thick and then they hate it.

[@adrienneeast1013]

It was Dorothy the Dinosaur a character you will see with The Wiggle's. If you have kids they will love the wiggles.

[@TonyBuhagiar-x3u]

Vegemite is yeast paste, and it is bloody delicious mate! It is an Aussie institution.

[@Fiona-zp2qt]

Near the end were Koori (Australian Aboriginals) know as the Chooky Dancers. Their most famous is that particular dance to the music Zorba the Greek.

[@brendoncrofts6714]

Maxwell's 201 in the world cup would be a good intro to cricket

[@Aurochhunter]

Fun fact: Vegemite turned 100 earlier this year.

[@WayneHewitt-q5r]

He was prime minister in the 80"s he held the world record for drinking the beer in the fastest time

[@adrianthomas6667]

No one but the current generation thinks this "shirt" is fit for a national anthem. It should be "I am, you are, we are Australians"

[@bernadettelanders7306]

How many Anthems do we have here 😂. Well our real one - and we call many other unofficial songs, usually with the word Australia or Straya in it, or sometimes something to do with Aus. Let’s do a count of how many songs we call our Anthem lol🇦🇺👍

[@Mirrorgirl492]

I'll start the List of Songs we Call the National Anthem, but Which Aren't: I Am Australia Waltzing Matilda Great Southern Land Sounds of Then Khe Sahn Am I Ever Going to See Your Face Again? Horses Feel free to ad any I haven't thought of

[@bernadettelanders7306]

@@Mirrorgirl492 Gee you started off with a bang. They are most of the ones I thought of, but you added more. Oh darn, I hate getting old lol, one just popped into my head and popped straight out again lol 🥴,

Vegemite is yeast extract, a by-product of brewing beer.

[@darrylgiffin446]

The Australian pm sculling the beer held the record for a yard glass sculling at university in England he was a Rhodes scholar

[@peterlinsley4287]

The Prime Minister Was Bob Hawk Mr 75% that was his approval rating. Bob was a Student at Oxford University in England were he broke the Guinness World Record were he sculled a yard glass (2 1/2 pints) in 11.4 seconds. The more impressive thing is the shape of a yard glass makes it difficult to scull as the bulb ot the bottom cause a wave.

[@littleguysbigbusiness6109]

Vegemite is what every aussie grew up with for breakfast on thier toast, like peanut butter and jelly if you are american but its nothing like peanut butter and jelly, It tastes very salty and must be had with butter or margerine and MUST be spread very thin

[@thequion]

This is crap, the seekers version should be it. Who ever suggested this is taking the micky out of you. 0:02

[@aishaabdullah6993]

It's not Barney it's the Dorothy and the Wiggles.

[@carbine5378]

This isn’t our National Anthem, it’s just an aussie jingle.

[@adamslaney5638]

Its the original Barney. The Wiggles are Australian

[@antheabrouwer3258]

I'm surprised you didn't ask about Kylie dancing and singing in this video, since she's in Las Vegas right now dancing and singing in residence...

[@steveheywood9428]

This is not our national anthem...but is a skit song.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

It’s not our national anthem, people just think it would make a good one. Our national anthem is Advance Australia Fair. And the dinosaur is not Barney it’s Dorothy the dinosaur from The Wiggles 😊

I haven't been subscribed for long but mate you really need to loosen up with the sour face. Or at least smile. Send out your Po Box so I can send you vegemite. After you taste that you will never have a sour face again😂 but I'm supporting you all the same. 👍

[@matthewcollas1404]

It should be. Bit no words are from the actually anthem

[@jenniferharrison8915]

National Anthem, who said that? The anthem is Advance Australia Fair! 😁 This is good fun though, and very catchy! 😄 Love cricket, get on it! 👍 Whatever we do we do it together! 🇦🇺

[@jodiebrown9536]

Ok so the green dinosaur is named Dorothy

[@margiedwards4062]

This IS NOT THE AUSTRALIAN ANTHEM

[@michaelmurphy4360]

Brother I like your chanel

[@silverstitch28]

It definitely shouldn't be our national anthem because it's taken from an american song. We already have a genre of songs callled Australiana.

[@ptd0123]

Better than the real Anthem

[@khloeekirishima298]

Daisy the dinosaur

[@neilcampbell3981]

not our national anthem just a good song. The rock in the middle of nowhere is Uluru

[@Notric]

Not the real Anthem or even real lyrics. lol

[@xymonau2468]

No, you always miss the comedy intention. Of course it isn't the real anthem. It's a joke. Always assume any video is going to be a joke unless it's a normal travelogue. Vegemite is a super salty paste made from the stuff left over after beer is brewed. The UK has Marmite, which is similar, but runny. You use the timiest bit on the tip of a knife and blend it thoroughly with lots of butter or margarine on soft fresh white breat or fresh buttery toast. It should just tint the butter if you are trying it for the first time. You never eat it on a spoon. It is like intense soy sauce in flavour, but different. I personally prefer Australian Marmite - not the same as the UK verion, or best for me is Promite. They are sweeter. I find Vegemite has too harsh a flavour. That video is only relatable for Australians. Most would not understand the content.

[@tracey2565]

This isn’t our anthem. Geez.
