Im a New Zealander, and hate this song without even hearing it!

The Manic Street Preachers have a song called Australia. The Kinks have a song called Australia. The Bicycles have a song called Australia. Bark Bark Bark have a song called Australia. Carl Cox even named an album after those bastards!

And now The Shins break my heart too!

Someone write a song titled "New Zealand"! Were sick of Hobbit references. We hate playing second best to neighbours - if youre Canadian, you know what I mean. If youre Rhodesian, you know what I mean. If your'e Welsh, Scottish or Irish, you know what I mean.

Hahahaha! How about Nevada. We gon't get shit, but that damn California gets Rufus Wainwright and Joni Mitchell odes just to name a few out of hundreds. D<
