Instead of singing along to Triple J’s Hottest 100 this year — although we’ll probably be doing that, too — here’s a new song that is sure to give you the patriotic warm and fuzzies, or at least a good laugh.
Electro-pop artist, Terry Man, who performs under the name Coach Bombay, has released a ripper of a track called “Straya”, which is an Australian-themed track set to the tune of OutKast’s smash hit, “Hey Ya!”

“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.”
