This is the real Australian anthem. Black fella, white fella, It doesn't matter, what your color As long as you, a true fella, As long as you, a real fella.
To the young Kuku Yalanji man who kept me company and safe from a bad white man in Mossman Queensland. Thank you so much sweetheart for being a Perfect gentleman in the truest sense of the words. You are my knight in shining armour. You knew what was going on and you stepped up. A thousand thank you’s! 💋✌️💗✊
This is definitely one of my favourite songs of all time, for many reasons and on many levels. Never have truer lyrics been written or sung. There are good and bad people from all cultural backgrounds. Apart from the message, the music Rocks. Great memories of seeing them LIVE in concert.
mos def, it forms my understanding of what being australian is- skips wogs wot ever- its a pitty we had john howard and the new apartheid australia for the last 25 years.. all the same when the ship is sinking; stand up!!!! mates
This is a good solid song. Bringing Aussies together and sending a message out to everyone to do the right thing. We're all the same when tha ship is sinking... a true statement
Seen a few Indigenous bands recently, Fcn Great Music! Not their problem if they sing about the TRUTH! and some don't like it. 5th Generation white Australian here, great respect for Indigenous culture and people.
Blackfella, whitefella It doesn't matter what your color As long as you a real fella As long as you a true fella All the people of different races With different lives in different places It doesn't matter what your name is We got to have lots of changes We need more brothers if we're to make it We need more sisters if we're to save it Are you the one who's gonna stand up and be counted? Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it? Are you the one who's always ready with a helping hand? Are you the one who understands this family plan? Blackfella, whitefella, yellafella, anyfella It doesn't matter what your color As long as you a true fella All the people of different races With different lives in different places It doesn't matter which religion It's all the same when the ship is sinking We need more brothers if we're to make it We need more sisters if we're to save it Are you the one who's gonna stand up and be counted? Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it? Are you the one who's always ready with a helping hand? Are you the one who understands this family plan? Stand up, stand up and be counted Stand up, stand up and be counted Stand up, stand up and be counted Are you the one who's going to stand up and be counted Stand up, stand up and be counted Stand up, stand up and be counted Are you the one who's always ready with a helping hand? Are you the one who understands this family plan?
Every "woke" american needs to listen to this until they've memorized the lyrics............... jus sayin' Thanks heaps for this message it's stronger now than when I first heard it 30+ yrs ago
George and Neil were incredible live, see them out bush many times, me and Boofa were on a few occasions the only white fellah there. the problem with the woke industry is that they don't get that no matter how much we are different (race, colour, creed, orientation) we as humans are far more similar, I would die to be in Halls Creek again listening to Warumpi with my brothers and sisters
are the top end of town ashamed and embarrassed by the true Australian , this song should be played on main stream radio , unbelievable it took a search on RU-vid to find this song.
+Isnala'Nazin'Win Merchant-Ponds Respect. There is no excuse, so long as my eurocentric society and culture with our schizophrenic heritage prevails and our war with aboriginals continues there will never be an acceptable excuse. For acceptance tolerance and reconciliation to begin one must no tolerate and accept detrimental excuses. No excuse for what happened, no excuse for what is happening.
You say invasion day I say the day the aboriginals all 500 plus diffrent waring tribes found out they should have come togeather long before"invasion day"instead of fighting for near 40,000 years?
I can not wait to dance on the Streets of Gold in Heaven with these gents. Never heard of these class acts until this very morning... Contemplating my next mission trip with my new home church to the Alice. Such a simple, straightforward message... From the humble heart of a child... In a man... From a band that will never get any airplay in the States. Why? Because they LIVE they very simple, gut - honest TRUTH we, as Americans, have LOST over 50 years ago. You FEEL that vibrant truth come ALIVE within your spirit when you listen to this song. In fact, this song just SLAM - DUNKED MLK, Jr's." dream " in the dirt. Fact remains that this band successfully killed the " civil rights movement " of the 1960s AND the racial divide, which is really plain selfishness, in one fell swoop. AND... They have respected their women's right to life without advertising nor even thinking about how they were going to degrade them on their next sexual interlude meant only for the marriage bed,. Get the picture yet? The best part of this video??? Not a one of them were drunk, high, nor loaded. That's what makes this song... This band... So AWESOME! An UNDERRATED CLASSIC that will live immortalize ALL of humanity for who we REALLY ARE!

I hope in the past 5 years you’ve come to see the idiocy of these comments.
Black fella, white fella. It doesn't matter, what your colour. As long as you, a real fella. As long as you, a true fella. All the people, of different races. With different lives, in different places. It doesn't matter, what your name is. We got to have, lots of changes. We need more brothers, if we're to make it. We need more sisters, if we're to save it. Are you the one that's gonna stand up and be counted? Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it? Are you the one that's always ready with a helping hand? Are you the one who understands these family plans? Black fella, white fella. Yellow fella, any fella. It doesn't matter, what your colour. As long as you, a real fella. All the people, of different races. With different lives, in different places. It doesn't matter, which religions. It's all the same when the, ship is sinking. We need more brothers, if we're to make it. We need more sisters, if we're to save it. Are you the one that's gonna stand up and be counted? Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it?

Are you the one who understands these family plans? Oh stand up, stand up and be counted. Oh stand up, stand up and be counted.
What I'm learning is that indigenous Australians talk peace, love and coming together, and caucasian Australians talk anger, protection, etc. This song is an example of this. Love it.
Massacred them. Took their land, Destroyed and derided their cultures, Destroyed their languages and dreams. Took their kids from their mother's arms. Now blame them for not fitting in and not getting over it. When it happened in living memory. I am sorry. I live on Kaurna and Peramangk land. I cannot undo the past but we can damn well recall it and acknowledge right and show respect and listen when these are due. And they are.
Right on brother! we need to turn society in to community and stop talking about the colour of people's skin colour. yeah be proud of your heritage still but enough with the racism. IM SO FUCKING OVER IT!
more children are being stolen now than ever before, more adults incarcerated, up to 300 aboriginal communities, many of them actually making a positive return are facing closure to make way for mining, inter generational trauma from the genocidal policies of successive gvts run deep in our people..uranium is being dumped on our country, our cultural and religious artefacts are being destroyed wholesale(these should be preserved for humanity, they are from the oldest living culture) our lands are being ripped up for mining and industry, our waterways and oceans polluted for ever..our brothers and sisters the bush creatures are becoming extinct before our eyes, every thing we treasure is being lost and you try to tell us to get over it?
