rich-joy Mudcat Australia-New Zealand Songbook (1356* d) RE: Rise Up Mudcat Songbook - Australia 02 Jan 21


Ah, thank you, JennieG!

I found a version of David's excellent song, sung by Fay White and co, while a "going backwards getting nowhere" dance was done, in Hobart : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfKpdUO7F-k

"This dance is supposed to symbolise that when dealing with politicians, and “The Establishment” in general, all we achieve is a lot of puff, getting nowhere. We danced it when the French were yet again testing their bombs in the South Pacific.
You progress backwards … how we often feel when dealing with governments!"


There is also a different song of the same name, by Robert Danielson, also protesting the French tests at Mururoa : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbcKL1RLXUA


Cheers, R-J
