Status: offline 		It's not Waltzing Matilda, but I always though John McDermott's rendition of The Band Played Waltzing Matilda to be an absolutely beautiful song. He has some other great music about World War I, as well. As for the Irish Rovers and Clancy Brothers, I grew up in a Boston Irish household (grandparents are off the boat from Mayo/Donegal) and we'd listen to those bands all the time at home or in the car. I think I know all their songs by heart. Wild Colonial Boy is a great song.

American theme from Civ6 is nice too

Status: offline 		I remember the song from way back when I watched the movie "On The Beach". Actually I probably learned it in the 4th grade but it struck a special nerve when I heard it in that movie which all but coincided with the Cuban Missile Crisis. My father worked at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft and it was only 7 or 8 miles away. I was scared as heckby the idea that in any 20 minutes some Russian missiles might land that would turn everything I ever knew into a radioactive wasteland. When sung by the "doomed Australians" towards the end of that movie the song was really sad and ever since I have associated that song with that movie.

Probably had dry skin and wanted the sheep for the lanolin oil ... that why he was naked and rubbing himself on it!

The most haunting rendition anyway. Whenever I hear the name I immediately think of that film.

Our whole class would sometimes sing this when I was in grade school in North Carolina.

I can still recall many of the verses.
