I love this (below).  So much rich history that someone like me is completely clueless about.  I really think the experience of a non-Aussie fan of MO is completely different from the experience of those of you lucky enough to live down under.  Probably half of the lyrics go right over my head, or have a completely different meaning for me than for someone who knows what's going on in Australia.
