Most people of Australia want this for our nation anthem.

Imdb would disagree with you overall. Mind you, if you like those films then go for it. I like them too, but I think the '90's films are substantially better. I do prefer the later music and I am known to be a hard nosed, motherfucking snob when it comes to music. I won't pretend to like the music from Dumbo when I think it is a bit crap.

we are talking about the music tho and not the films, the films might have improved but the music has gone massively down hill

you cant tell me the beauty and the beast song i have posted is better than either of those other songs ive posted

in fact id go as far to say that the combined worst song from dumbo and jungle book is better than the combined best song from aladin, lion king and beauty and the beast by a long way

You could but you would be trolling. You would be like the US government putting people in Guantanamo Bay. Just a blatant exercise of power with no public opinion behind you. Popular opinion is expressed out there and the quality of films is massively different. I don't need to argue this as popular opinion is on my side. Go to IMDB or get a hearing aid. Disney now sucks, but for that period it was great.

yeah but we are talking about the music not the films

the lion king is in general a better film than dumbo, serves a different purpose so the comparison is a little unfair in ways but better yes in general its better

the music in the lion king is utter shit where the music in dumbo is decent (example given)

if you gave the whole world the vote, it is posible that popular opinion would lean towards the music in the lion king, but there are a lot of women, children and teanage girls in the world

if you gave men (non gay) the same vote the results would be very different

Maybe it was because I grew up watching boxing that I love the US anthem, it really got me going knowing that a big (Tyson) fight was coming up imminently.

I'll go with Waltzing Matilda anytime...
Long before internet days, I used to tinker with my shortwave or worldband radio to connect with the world from our jungle here. When I heard Waltzing Matilda and a shriek of some Australian bird, a toucan?, I knew I was in Australia... ...missing the simple, ol' days...

More than likely the bird was a cockatoo and Waltzing Matilda is about a sheep thief. They love their sheep here.

For sure, even that would be better than Advance Australia fair, Its such a droning song you can even sing it in one tone (boredom tone).

We dont have toucans here mate,probably a whip bird (not sure of the real name) or a bell bird. Both have great sounds.

Ahh here you go the big four noises out here :-)

Ahh, I see. I couldn't distinguish types of bird by their chirps or tweets but I can recongnize sheep's bleatings anytime, mate. But noo, I don't make love to them.

Thanks mate. You've got a pretty large wildlife out there downunder. I wonder if the ol' penguin platipus made any call.
