So I was sitting here watching this video and there was a cheeky bloody huntsman spider 'blending in' at the edge of the desk. I'm not big on spiders but, as most Australians will probably agree after a handful of beers neither of us seemed to give a rat's arse and life resumed it's natural course.

This song was about Bundaberg Qld, an English family having moved to Australia and their experience in Australia

Bundaberg is my home town. Gangajang has a street here named after them and the lead singer grew up here.

One of my favourite songs, as I sit here listening it is very humid and I’m literally watching a storm roll in. It’s an another hot one today . I love our Australian summers. 🇦🇺

Actually, there are very few predators in Australia. Sharks, crocs, wild dogs and dingos are about it. Everything else is easily avoided except drop bears, which continue to terrorise the nation.

The Rhythm section of Gangajang were original members of THE ANGELS. CHRIS BAILEY on BASS & BUZZ BIDSTRUP on DRUMS. MARK CALLAGHAN the LEAD SINGER of GANGAJANG was in a Band called THE RIPTIDES from Brisbane in the early 80's. I am the proud owner of "Hearts and Flowers" which was a 7" vinyl record by them in 1981. GANGAJANG had a string of Hit Singles of moderate success in the mid 80's. Great to see LIVE. A mate and I, who are both Drummers, were determined to get the attention of BUZZ BIDSTRUP and have a chat with him. The chat was brief, but we were thrilled that he spoke with us. Nice guy.

A great driving song something to listen to while cruising down the highway.

We were playing this today as we were travelling down the Bruce Highway thru cane fields in Queensland Australia. Love it.

I saw GANGgajang live back in 80 something when they were touring as the supporting for I think Midnight Oil. They were so good I bought their album on Monday....

How freaking lucky am I - not only am I an Aussie, but i was young during the pub rock era which meant seeing awesome bands in my local pub for a cover charge - 64 now and I couldn't be happier with the way my life went here in Oz

We had a dry spell earlier this year and the local wallabies started raiding my garden and eating my veggies.

If you wanna hear a great song about our deadlier side watch Scared Weird Little Guys - Come to Australia. . . . You Might Accidentally Get Killed lol love you guys 💗💗💗💗

“Gang ga jang” is supposedly the sound of strumming an acoustic guitar

I don’t think I’ve seen it before either. I’ve been listening to them since the 80’s & still listen to their record sometimes. 😂

I think with all you have done to promote Aussie music you have enough Aussie fans to provide you with free accommodation if you ever decide to fly in we can arrange these things lol

It's an anagram of Ganga Gang. If you know what I mean. I was a manager in a hardware store and the lead singer's niece worked there. This is very much a Northern rivers, Queensland song. It's NOT the big spiders that you have to worry about. Koalas move slowly because they're stoned basically, on eucalyptus leaves. 😁😁

You definately need to get more Australia inta ya! Come over, we'll throw a steak on the barby and prawns (shrimp) in the salad. No, FAIRDINKUM, you've really got to listen to more Aussie, we have a plethora of great bands! Especially from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Love you're reactions! You two are craaaazy! Love it, love it, love it. Keep up the bonza work!

A song from back in a time when you just needed talent.

We luv that wr are sooooo far away 👍🇭🇲🇭🇲🦘🐨🤪

I'm an Aussie, this is an Aussie band. It is pronounced how it is spelt ... Gang (as in gangster) ga (as in Lady GaGa) and jang (as in gang only with a j). this is an Aussie Anthem released in 1985.

This makes me feel more Australian, and when I hear it driving through the Australian regional towns it makes me sentimental

LA to Sydneyonly 14 hours. No problem. Bite the bullet and come downunder. Ive been to US 5 times your turn now.

This song is my personal favourite of the Australia songs bcos apart from being completely a cool song, it reminds me of growing up in Broken Hill, NSW, before we had air conditioning. The TV would be carted outside onto the verandah (a patio) & we'd watch TV in the front garden, under sundown & into the evening before going to bed for school the next day. We never used the front verandah for anything else.

I saw these guys recently, ironically the singer is a Queenslander hence the “humidity, cane fields” etc. the rest of the band are south Australian.

For us, everyone's far away! Kinda like that though. :)

Oh guys it’s Koala not Koala Bears they are not bears never were! Plus Suzie was right with the way she pronounced it.. yes another great Australia song.. 🧐😊🇦🇺🥰

Gang gah jang….❤ An easier list is things you wouldn’t love about Australia…….which is F all!

8:16 @TheWolfHunterZ IIRC That's because they doped up on eucalyptus leaves, which are very hard to digest but one of the few, if only creatures in the world to live of eating them. That contributes to their eyes and tendency to sleep longer periods, including what Suzi observed, that robotic thing ;)

'jang' rhymes with gang - your first guess was right...

Just a little note.................Koalas are not bears.

Koalas in the wild sound like the scariest shit ever ! They make screaming noises up in the trees , if not used to it can be super scary by yourself . Dont get me started on Drop Bears !

I seen gangajang loads of times, great ɓand

Mark Callaghan said GANGAJANG is the sound that is made when you hit / or slap the strings on an acoustic Guitar.

This song brings back my childhood. Back in the days when MTV was new and most of these bands played at the local pubs.

Seeing you 2 have now been hearing our music. What do you 2 think about the world's best kept secret our Aussie music? We have been quietly living in paradise without not many people knowing about it and now I think you 2 are just scratching the surface about Australia. Enjoy your journey of discovery and it's as good as it looks. Have fun.

The travel distance is a bummer. I’m glad you two liked this, I had to turn it up to groove out to another Aussie anthem

I think the song is sung from the point of someone recently immigated to Australia, apparently living in the wet tropical north of Queensland - which isn't what he expected of Australia.

I remember the first time hearing this song and thinking: they nailed it!

Drop bears have been known to decapitate their victims in under a second.

That's Queensland, a beautiful part of Australia. Rock up in Melbourne in July wearing shorts so we can laugh at you. But those in Cairns will laugh sitting on the patio in shorts :)

i have to correct you, they are not bears, they are just koala or koalas ( plural ), they are marsupials related to wombats.

wow, this is my step dads family members band haha (i live in South Australia)

All of the iconology in the clip is meaningful to Australia. Take forever to explain it all.

hi guys love what you do think you need to see whats called austrtlian by austin tyasiu sorry about the spelling its a comedy song about our words and places but you have to look at the uncut version of it its cool daveo from gold coast queensland down under

Loved doing that at Darwin motor boat club

Its the Queensland version of Australia, but still very aussie.

❤My Australia 😊

Claws on a Koala can shred your face in a flash... but they are cuddley. Wombats are lawn-mowers - they're also cute & cuddley. Love your reactions guys. Cheers from Sydney.

The song was written about a British family who moved to Australia,the singer was one of that family,hence the line, we laugh and think, this is Australia

you want a song about our deadly animals? try "the scared weird little guys - come to australia"

No Koala Bears, no Drop Bears, just Koalas. Get it, got it? Good.😂

Got to love mackay and the pioneer Valley

Not really sure why folks in the US think everything in Australia is trying to kill you when you have bears, wolves, wolverines, mountain lions, sharks, alligators, moose, bison, coyotes, giant swamp pythons, tarantulas, black widow spiders, murder hornets, killer bees, Gila monsters...nearly all of which all can kill or eat you or both. (Koalas aren't bears by the way). Weird.

ganga jang - just say gang like street gang

Koala’s are usually off their face from eating eucalyptus gum leaves , they can be vicious with their claws , the most venomous animals are small eg the red back spider .

Gang Gajang - the sound you get when you strum a guitar! Gang as in 'being in a gang' and gajang - as in jangle.

Suzi said it right the first time!!

us being so far away is great

Peace from Australia Travis and Suz

If you ever want to come to Australia you’ll have plenty of fans ready to offer accommodation and sight seeing tours. Plenty of room at our joint in Brisbane. Cheers

Gang-a-jang, one of our Anthems. 🇦🇺

Chat GPT says about the name Ganggajang: The Australian band Ganggajang took its name from an Aboriginal Australian word, "gangga," which means "to communicate." It is pronounced as "gang-uh-jang." The band's name reflects their interest in creating music that communicates with and connects to their audience, as well as their appreciation for the diverse cultural heritage of Australia, including its indigenous languages and traditions. pronounced as "gang-uh-jang." vowels are short a - as in bang; uh - as in uh; short a - in gang

any songs of John Williamson - especially Home Among the gumtrees. lol just seen your randy feltface reaction Edit: also Kasey Chambers cover of eminem - lose yourself

you guys are hilarious, your quite welcome to come here, its not that far by jet 😅

Suzi koalas seem they are laid back because they are sleepy most of the time from the effect of eucalypt leaves. Oh, and they are not bears, they are marsupials. Xo

Much loved song here in Oz.

Koalas are mostly stoned from the leaves they eat. True.

I think I may have already suggested this song, but as you are loving things related to Australia; you should react to The Seekers "I Am Australian", all 5 verses from The Final Farewell Concert. It's like listening to Australian History.

If you ever make the trip, work out beforehand what kind of Australia you want to see and experience. If you want snow, we got snow. If you want rain forest, we got that. If you want beaches, we have a very large supply. And we have no shortage of desert. As Australia is a very multi cultural society, the food scene is great. We also make lots of great wine, and brew proper beer. Just remember that Australia is a very big place, (6th largest country on the planet). So don't think you can do it all in 2 weeks.

I remember a while you were asking about Aussie Rules Football The finals start this Thursday night. Probably extremely early morning for you but other games are being played at more appropriate times for you guys. But i guess you dont have to watch it live

Hi Guys, you've heard of planes right? Go and jump on one, it's that easy! See ya soon!

Gang gah jang sounds like that

Most people who see Drop Bears dont live to talk about it

Gang : as in gangland and " a " as in ah and then jang, as in " fang " but with a j. Gang a jang. This song is an Australian icon. The original video doesn't do justice. Its a sound thing. Staying for a month in the far north east tropical humid heat, near the sugar cane fields, and then having a friday evening rest on the verandah as a storm comes in with much needed rain, - will give you the " feel " of this song. Then when you play it with your eyes closed, you will " get it ". All about the senses and the heat of the headonistic natural environment. 😊

Check out Tenterfield Saddler . It's a story song
