What a concept, to update a countries old national anthem. I can see people lining up on both sides of the fence to argue the pros and cons of changing the traditional national anthem of any country. I went to the Advance Australia Dare website to see what all the fuss was about and was delighted by what I found.

Click through to see the cool artwork that was created to garner interest from the Aussie public.

I'd be interested to hear back from us Americans what do you think... is it cool to update or change a countries national anthem? Would you be cool with American changing our national anthem to reflect more on the current times with new language?

I think its a great idea, as the Australian website points out their national anthem is over 120 years old... its time for an update.

What do you think?

Peace,

    • This crap is seriously misleading because from the tone of the post you would believe that this is a hot topic in Oz but in reality its just a random bunch of toolish blokes trying to be clever. Or national anthem will not be changed and nearly no one is talking about it... hell, I would like to think that I stay on top of the news and this is the first I have heard of it.

      I hear ya on tradition and singing the song my ancestors sang but here is the problem with that.

      Me being an African American, when Americas national anthem was written my ancestors where slaves. Not to mention the Native Americans, imagine how they feel about the national anthem.

      It truly doesn't mean much to me personally, the national anthem is cool and I get goose bumps when I hear somebody sing it really good but at the end of the day for me its just a song.

      Still... it would be really cool to hear what people would come up with if we revised it for todays America.
