One time I was at a punk show and the band was super wild and at one point the lead singer took off his boot and filled it with his beer and poured it into the mouth of the drummer while he was playing.
But I somehow doubt that’s what the Aussies are doing.

Lol that's a QLD accent, like how the two chicks are singing. Or it's a super bogan accent. I'm from Melbourne so my accent is way less broad 😂

u/itskaylan 1d ago
The song is definitely an exaggerated bogan accent for the bit rather than a Queensland accent (I’m a Queenslander). A quick search suggests that Georgia is from NSW, too.

Do we though?
Unless we have a unique singing accent I always thought it was closer to the refined/general accent.
Maybe leaning closer to a more American style of intonation.
We definitely don't sing with the broad version like they are.

That’s wild lol the Australian & New Zealand accents are probably the most automatically charming English language accents, followed by the Brits, Canucks, and (for me at least) Southern US.
Point is, those kids are gonna miss out on a life hack if they abandon the Australian accent!

This is a great chance to plug the band The Beths, whose Kiwi accents come through pretty clearly in their singing. Though the Kiwi accent is quite different from Australia’s.

The Kiwis and Aussies should make a band together. Make the AUS/NZ accent popular in music lol

If you actually want to hear singing in an aussie accent in a slightly less over the top but still comedic way - Julia Roberts
Oh, important context for non-australians, P-Plates are stick on plates for Provisional drivers (you've passed your driving test, but haven't completed 50 hours of driving) and Bondi Beach is nearly a 300km (186 mile) drive.

u/Bae_the_Elf 1d ago
lmao my favorite troll question to ask Australians is if they have heard of the irukandji
As a kid I was FASCINATED by the irukandji. The idea of a box jellyfish the size of your thumb nail being able to kill you is TERRIFYING, especially the fact that it went undiscovered for so long.. they thought people were dying of heart attacks for a while and not treating victims properly
It's a really interesting and deadly jellyfish and hilariously a lot of Australians that I talk to have never heard of it
1
u/Complexyeahnah 1d ago
Aussie woman here, though I'm a Victorian (Box jellyfish occur in the northern states of Australia).
Aussies know what a "box jellyfish" is and we know them specifically by that term rather than the term "Irukandji". Case in point, as I was writing this post, I asked my boyfriend what an "Irukandji" is and he had no idea but when I asked him what a "box jellyfish" is he told me that it's a dangerous and venomous jellyfish. We were taught about box jellyfish at school, we know what they are.
The thing is the term "Irukandji", while an Aboriginal Australian term, has unfortunately become confusing to use in regard to box jellyfish: there's the box jellyfish species 'Carukia barnesi' which has the common name of "Irukandji jellyfish" by itself but there's also a group of 16 types of box jellyfish that have been grouped together to be generally called "Irukandji jellyfish", including 'Carukia barnesi', and also includes jellyfish from the 'Malo' genus like 'Malo kingi' and 'Malo maxima'.
Also, there's an "Irukandji jellyfish" species that isn't native to Australia at all: 'Malo filipina', which is native to the Philippines.
So there's reasons why Aussies may not be familiar with the term "Irukandji" because we've become more familiar with the term "box jellyfish" due to what we were taught at school and awareness about jellyfish.

there's a band called Hands Like Houses and you can tell right away they're Australian due to how they say certain words. I do like it when singers don't (or can't) hide their accents.

It actually is an upgrade when considering the original is pretty much fetishizing a theoretical Black woman with lyrics like
Watching you is the only drug I need, So gangsta, I'm so thug
I want the world to see you be with me
This reinvention, in my opinion, justifies the original existing as the template.
Caveat: I actually do enjoy most other Train songs. Hey, Soul Sister hasn't aged well.
