Brisbanality A strange reality Come along with me Brisbanality A strange reality Not even by the sea But its the place to be Turn on the ABC Another cup of tea As hot as hot can be Baby you and me! It's not the heat It's the humidity No it's not the heat It's the humidity You never know your luck in a medium sized city I never knew this place could be so pretty Like you Brisbane I really like you Brisbane Up and down round and round Just a big country town Up and down round and round It's just a big country town Oh Brisbane I really like you Brisbane And why why why Won't people keep to the left On the escalators? On the escalators? Brisbanality

I've seen the Seine in Paris Seen the Tiber in Rome There's no other river Like the one I got back home That old brown river Keeps rolling along Seen the Thames in London The Hudson in New York City But there's no other river So nice and so pretty As that old brown river That keeps singing my song Brownwater Brownwater Brownwater The place I call home The Brisbane River is the very heart and soul of this town It's so very brown that it's the very brownest river around You can keep Sydney harbour You can keep Port Philip Bay Just give me the Brisbane river Forever and a day That old brown river keeps rollin' along That old brown river Old brown river like an old man's liver Brownwater Brownwater Brownwater In my very home The Brisbane River is the very heart and soul of this town Well it's so very brown that it's the very brownest river around Old brown river like an old man's liver He just keeps rollin' along Singing our song

Salt Lake City 2003 Steven Bradbury! From Acacia rink to the Olympic brink No accidental destiny It took him ten long years to be there Pierced eyebrow and died spiky hair Steven Bradbury He wants all the world to see He's in the final finally He's skatin' on His coach said You know you gotta use your head You'll never beat those guys with your speed So just stay safe at the back of the pack Let the other guys fight it out for the lead And as the race picked up in pace Steve was safely in final place Steven Bradbury Hair and tortoise strategy Keep your feet yeah that's the key He's skatin' on A distant last at the final turn Steve looks up to see Four leaders fall and crash to the wall And he skates on to victory Disbelief in his face As he sails into history Steven Bradbury Last man standing victory Down opponents 1 2 3 He's skatin' on Steven Bradbury Hyperbolic commentary He's Aussie quintessentially He's skatin' on He's skatin' on We're skatin' on Yeah skatin' on Steven Bradbury you bloody beauty

Bradfield Highway 06:42
lyrics

It's a little know fact That Brisbane has its very own Route 66 Which runs all the way from Fortitude Valley to Kangaroo Point Driving down the Bradfield Highway It's the shortest highway in Australia I feel so inadequate 'Cause it's the shortest highway in the world

about

Have you ever lived in Brisbane?
Did you grow up in Brisbane?
Would you like to know what makes Brisbane tick?
Why don't people in Brisbane keep to the left on escalators?
What makes the Brisbane River so brown and so pretty?
Why is Brisbane sometimes just such a funny place to live?
You never know your luck in a medium-sized city!
Brisbanality, it's a strange reality!
