First off I am looking forward to the new season and wish Captain Paul Watson and the crew the best of luck.

The song Waltzing Matilda has many singers, however I'm unable to find the band that sings this on the video.

Does anyone know who sings this for the video ?
I'd love to buy the cd, even if that was the only song I liked on it. Better yet if some part of it would go toward helping the cause.

I thought the video was better than the music. Not really my style I guess. I prefer the shows intro...

I'm not sure. It was put out by worldagainstwhaling.org. You might want to hop over to the SS boards and ask Fred.

Try contacting the person who posted the video on YouTube.

But I did like the video, it gave some unintentional information.

Funny how comments for that video need "approval".

Only people with a wrong or weak argument hide behind a censor.

Found the lyrics

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

Under the shade of a coolibah tree

And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled

You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me


Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
Down came a jumbuck to dri-ink at that billabong

Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee

And he sang as he stuffed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag

You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me


Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred

Up rode the troopers, one, two, three

"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?"

You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me


Up jumped the swagman and sprang into that billabong

"You'll never take me alive!", said he

And his ghost may be heard as you pa-ass by that billabong

You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me

It is supposedly by Roger Clarke

About a billion years ago, Tom Waitts opened for the Grateful Dead at the Oakland Coliseum.

He did a version of Walting Matilda that he slaughtered so badly the crowd was throwing fruit at him...he got booed off the stage...

Tom Waitts?!

He shoulda been booed off the stage just for general purpose! Big Grin

I am personally a fan of the way Rod Stewart did Waltzing Matilda.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...8B3s&feature=related

I have no idea why it is done to Cats, or why it is listed the way it is -- it is obviously sung by Rod Stewart.

GoPaul,
The band is BodyJar according to the video found by Pooh. Pooh's Video find


From page two of comments:
"Hey! Unfortunately I can't send you the song because I bought it on iTunes, however I can tell you that this is by the band BodyJar (sorry if it was misleading and it seemed like this was us actually performing - truth is, this was just kinda meant to be a joke, and inadvertently became this). Hopefully this helps, and thanks for the comment." [ends]

You're on your own for the rest. Good luck!
