      +Rodney McGiveron Totally agree!!... I came to listen and get into the song and discovered that she butchered it by changing the words. So I paused it, and left to find another version with the CORRECT lyrics.
      +SharC If you are going to accompany an authentic Aussie song with lyrics, then the least you could do is to respect Iva Davies the writer, and leave his lyrics INTACT, AS THEY WERE WRITTEN.
      Nobody wants you to put your own stamp on it. Otherwise it's called plagiarism, rather than celebrating a great anthem.

      Truly stunning how you Australians get accused of being pricks. The guy takes time out of his life so people can hear the song while reading the lyrics and you find fault with his "American spelling." Your first instinct was to give him shit for his good deed while mine was to say thanks. I guess that's just the difference between the American and Australian value system.

    • @michaelwilson7924
      @michaelwilson7924 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tecnically Rodney McGiveron, harbor IS the correct spelling. But because of the French influence on the english, Poms started spelling words like favor, fervor, harbor and whatnot, with a u. The way Americans spell it, is the more pure form of the english
