Cannot understand for the life of me why it wasn't chosen as the anthem for the Sydeny 2000 Olympics. Thanks for reminding me of the name of the song - I thought it was called "Green and Gold" & have been chasing it on all my Eric albums for ages! |

Who are the backup singers? Also I know the lyrics are a little different from the many other versions of the classic work song. |
