      This would be more accurate as entertainer and a quintessentially Australian song ... but what the hey ... sue me. Australia's greatest entertainer. Loved him when I was a kid and he's still pretty awesome today. And I get to steal one of my favourite ever songs into the bargain.

      1.01 Waltzing Matilda & Rolf Harris - Band, and their quintessentially Australian Single





      Another version of Waltzing Matilda

                If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
