My own take on such an awesome classic song, with quite the Aussie flair pumped in it to begin with. It's always been such a fun song to play, whether it be to sing, do lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, drums... This is my go-to song for when I feel down or feel not myself. Hope it still has the same effect
