I was wondering if someone could help me find the tune played by Paul Hogan here on a harmonica. Cheers in advance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftjvM8LsNZo&t=4625s&ab_channel=ChristianBall |

Where is the bit when Paul Hogan plays the harmonica. The total length of the video is one hour 40 minutes so it is too long to listen to the whole thing. |

I haven't seen the TV series so I don't know whether it relates to the character played by Paul Hogan, or whether it has anything to do with the story line. Having said that, it's a beautiful tune. |

It's an old song & could have been in the national consciousness during The Great War. The Anzacs - IMDB The Overlanders, John Thompson's version + history |

I'm assuming the timing of the question is relevant because it is ANZAC Day here in Oz on Monday 25th April, two days from now. |

It relates to Paul Hogans character as he is stated to be a Queensland banana-bender. I am very thankful to you Helen for finding it, and the ANZAC Day connection was just coincidental! Tank. |

22 Aug 22 - 05:08 AM (#4150688) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Paul Hogan's tune from ANZACS 1985 From: Helen Thanks Tank. Do we need to explain banana-bender to non-Aussies? "A Queenslander. The term derives from the joking notion (as perceived from the southern states of Australia) that Queenslanders spend their time putting bends into bananas." Note: the Google search result referred to a page with that definition but the page wouldn't load so I haven't made a link. |
