It would have been exactly 40 years ago to the day since I woke up to hear the news headline "Australia II has won the America's Cup!". Later to be followed by the then Prime Minister Bob Hawke saying "If any boss sacks their employees for not showing up at work today he's a bum!".
Great song.. I remembered it as a kid in primary school, and that line "we're coming to get you, to race you and beat you.." used to ring in my head every time I went overseas (especially to the States!). Brings back many patriotic memories:)
LOL, I was late for work as it was in Prime time for us watching it on the GMA with Gordon Elliott I think (and perhaps either Sue kellaway or Kerry-Anne?) ...
It's just as well that the then prime minister Bob Hawke declared after the race was won that if any boss sacked any employee of theirs for not showing up to work that day then he was a bum. I hope that your boss didn't sack you or reprimand you for being late.
It's unlikley that you will find it on a CD however I would check out all of Glenn Shorrocks early albums the song is 'coming to get you' let me know if you find it

I was 13 and this song makes me tear up which is pretty bad seeing as I love to play it. My kids think I'm so strange.
