Someone in the SMH rather cleverly pointed out that the Anthem has been brutalised for years in the context of sporting events — anyone who’s heard Shannon Noll having a crack has to agree — so what’s wrong with giving it a bit of a reinterpretation? I’ve managed to avoid hearing the new remix and am fully prepared to imaging it blowing, but that’s the implementation; there’s nothing wrong with the idea is there?

I personally would like to see a Girtby remix.

If I had any talent I would write a track that sounded nothing like the anthem and call it the Nemotode Remix.</p> Kimberley Beazley was enamoured by “girt” as well if I recall rightly.

Kim Beasley may be enamoured by “girt” but could use a girdle to girt his girth!
