What is NZ's song.

[Big Dave]

I have a corporate powerpoint to put together. Closed room, small audience copyright etc not a consideration.

The brief calls for an opening video featuring images of NZ landscapes and an uplifting Iconic soundtrack.

Images are no prob, the sound has me flummoxed.

'Loyal' - but it's not about NZ. 'Nature' - but it's a bit stupid.

If this was back home it would be a doddle. 'Great Southern Land' or 'Sounds of then' or 'Downunder' - but is there a Kiwi equivalent?

A groovy song about NZ.

At the mo it's Tim Finns 'Couldn't be done' because the message is better.

Suggestions? and I'll go to itunes and buy it.

[Trudes]

Bliss or Whaling, but I think Dave Dobbyn's Welcome Home is a pretty good kiwi anthem. JMO

Great minds think alike, whenever I think of NZ's national anthem (not the boring one you sung at school!), Bliss immediately comes to mind!

Or, what about something by the Warratahs? They do some pretty great tracks, not that I can think of any particular ones right now. BTW, did anyone catch them at the Winemaker's Daughter in Te Horo yesterday? We wouldn't have minded going but only found out about it late in the day and decided to give it a miss.

How about Kotahitanga....

Slice of Heaven. Dave Dobbyn and Herbs.

What's the age of the Audience (i.e. what genre will they relate to)?

Netherworld Dancing Toys and Annie Crummer (For Today - I'll remember your smile)
Herbs - Sinsitive to a smile - probably slow and/off topic for you.
The Dudes - Bliss
Gotta be something by Crowded House, Split Enz or the Finn brothers.

Managers. Middle - older age group. Anything up to grunge is OK.

Considered all suggestions so far - none of them are about NZ? or have a positive message - except for the Maori one - which would put them to sleep - exactly the opposite to what is required.

Others already scratched off the list are Dominion Rd and Young Years.

Yes! welcome home, or Bliss.
Welcome home may be alil more apropriate for the images your showing.

[idleidolidyll]

Earth to Mike - Earth to Mike - Come in Mike - are you there.

missed the point dave?

no single anthem or song 'represents NZ' and it's hugely disparate population.

whatever you choose will piss of some or make others laugh.

although "Welcome Home" coupled with the video is at least inclusive instead of exclusive...............

[BarBender]

Light of the Pacific - Herbs

[Guitana]

How about twinkle twinkle little star it sounds just like the NZ national anthem!!!!

[idleidolidyll]

The thing is though, Dave Dobbyn is seriously religious and all his songs nowdays include religious dogma in some form or another

as a confirmed atheist i reject anything directly or covertly religious

Have to add another Kiwi classic that's been missed: The Swingers - Counting the Beat.
Everyone remember the older L&P adverts?

Look at the sunrise
I look at it burn
I look into your eyes
Don't know where to turn
I'm gonna drift into that void
I'm flying through space, I'm an asteroid
Time doesn't take place when you're paranoid
I'm thinking about you, and nothing else
Thinking about you, you're thinking about me
Thinking about you, I'm counting the beat
Thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about just you and me, la da de de, there ain't no place I'd rather be
La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da... and so on.

I'll also add my vote in for Slice of Heaven, it's pretty widely accepted as a Kiwi song in New Zealand. Footrot flats definitely helped with that.
Edit: It's on YouTube if you want a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ8GBTANBk8

I remember big Tommy a genial Maori in Warkworth back in the '70's, could pick up just about any instrument and play it! Couldn't quite pick up our piano, but could play it anyways...

Beautiful on the guitar and violin, ukelele, great beat on the drums! Any still around like him? Must be, surely!

TOP GUN ANTHEM

-Indy

I thought you may have gone for Dire Straits - The Walk of Life :lol:

[MSTRS]

For that NZ flavour, what about Puha and Pakeha by ....um....Rod Derrett...ages ago.

The song was a light-hearted tale of Pāhekā in early New Zealand being eaten by Māori, and included the following lyrics:

I don’t give a hangi for the Treaty of Waitangi,
You can’t get fat on that - give me some Puha and Pākehā.

You take a little umu and you get it very hot,
You catch a little Pākehā and put him in a pot,
Cook him all up in your old home brew,
And what have you got? Kiwi Stew.

[Ixion]

The utterly Kiwi song ? has to be The Gumboot Song



Gumboots, they are wonderful, gumboots, they are swell
'coz they keep out the water, and they keep in the smell.
And when you're sittin' round at home, you can always tell
When one of the Trevs has taken off his gumboots.

Chorus:
If it weren't for your gumboots, where would ya be?
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'coz you would have a dose of the 'flu, or even pleurisy
If ya didn't have yer feet in yer gumboots.

Now there's rugby boots and racing boots, and boots for drinkin' rum.
But the only boots I'm never without, are the ones that start with "gum".
I've got short ones and long ones, and some up to me belt.
I'm never dressed 'till I've got on me gumboots.

Whenever I sing at the opera, my gumboots are a must.
They help me hit the high notes, and protect me feet from dust.
They keep the water well away, so me voice won't get no rust.
You will not never see me without me gumboots.

Now (names of current unpopular politicians), they haven't made a hit.
They're ruining the country, more than just a bit.
If they keep on how they're going, we'll all be in turd.
So you'd better get yer feet up yer gumboots.


Says it all , dunnit.

Flying Nun had a big profile in Europe for a few years.

For example, if I was to think of an Aussie song I would think of 'Land Down Under' or, naturally, 'Waltzing Matilda'.

There was a great version of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' recorded I think in the sixties by a NZ bloke singing in falsetto and playing a ukelele.

thats a serious suggestion. Its a great song, an uplifting message, and the video rules as well. I think it would be perfect.

[Big Dave]

As if they would admit it.

Sounds of then - Ganga Jang is the Aussie version what I was looking for'. Home:

I think I hear the sounds of then,
And people talking,
The scenes recalled, by minute movement,
And songs they fall, from the backing tape.
That certain texture, that certain smell,

To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets,
In brick veneer on financed beds.
In a room, of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell,

Brings home the heavy days,
Brings home the night time swell,

Out on the patio we’d sit,
And the humidity we’d breathe,
We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think, this is Australia.

The block is awkward - it faces west,
Long diagonals, and sloping too.
And in the distance, through the heat haze,
In convoys of silence the cattle graze.

That certain texture, that certain beat,
Brings forth the night time heat.

Out on the patio we’d sit,
And the humidity we’d breathe,
We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields
Laugh and think that this is Australia.

Interestingly, just before I got to your post, I was thinking "fark, I've never even heard of a lot of these." I now recognise a few of the artist names having lived here for three years but it appears there ain't a lot to choose from for the author of this thread's original requirement.

How about "Heavy Rain" (Darcy Perry Blues Band). Very apt today at least!
