What should we nominate for Lemmyvision?

Submitted ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone⁩ to ⁨australia@aussie.zone⁩

For those of you who missed the post the other week Lemmyvision is a contest where participating country-based communities (like ours) nominate a song from our country (Australia) and there will be some voting to determine the winner.

If you have a song that is Australian or some ideas comment them here (and maybe why you should vote for i + a link). They will be added to a post (released on 25/03) where they will be voted on to select our official nomination. This post will be closed on 24/03 sometime AEST.

@Marsupial@quokk.au made a suggestion last week - Let’s enter this into LemmyVision (Donny Benét - American Dream).

It’s weird It’s political It’s recent It’s Australian, but the title will confuse people It’s the vibe

I think it’ll resonate well with the Lemmy audience, see these instant upvote lyrics:

When the Orange man Came into power The Minutes Soon Felt like hours Then the Old man Won the election But the world Didn’t change direction

Does the song need to be of the past 12 months, or any Australian song?

  The post here says in the last year, then states after 1 Jan 2023, so I guess the competition is for songs released in 2023?

    Maybe pinging @inlandempire@jlai.lu is the quickest way to find out.

@Ilandar@aussie.zone also suggested www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICxswXG87lI which came out in 2022, unfortunately meaning that we cannot nominate it, but I’ll put it here anyway because I thought it was truly inspirational.

My vote is for “Yes” by A.B. Original, DJ Total Eclipse and Marlon.

The lyric “I never swore allegiance to the crown” sends chills down my spine.

The Dripping Tap by King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard. It’s Australian, sends a good message and most importantly, it’s an absolute jam.

Planet B by King Gizzard would be my second suggestion but not everyone likes metal.

  Unfortunately, it has to be from 1/1/2023 according to aussie.zone/post/7593330
  
  If we’re having trouble I might propose that it is extended back to at least 2022.
