Here is a link to a Kiwi Written Song that captures the culture. Great for Tourism and Rugby World Cup 2011.

YAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNN...... indeed. NO offense to The Feelers (they are good song writers) but James Reid sounds like he needs a Lemsip and the band are far past there used by date.

I'm sure most Kiwi bands would put there hands up for a shot at this one would they not?

I just hope they don't go to a "committee vote" and choose Dave Dobbyn, The Exponents or Supergroove etc. Don't get me wrong these Artists are good at what they do but they're also village bicycles when it comes to radio play.

I know its classic of us Kiwis to winge when we don't like what's put on our plate but why break tradition? We should prove to the world that we have the best tunes in the world as well as the best scenery, spirit and user friendly DPB scheme......

Ahahahaha! Always quick with the witty quips!

My how exciting all the fervour will be when the pundits get a whiff that Australian Idols Stan Walker is singing a Feelers song for the New Zealand contingent of the Fifa World Cup...doh! Although I'd say the Feelers must be happy to be at the centre of the controversy and gravitas of this oh so historic international incident. You simply couldn't buy this kind of coverage if you tried. And Mike Edwards from Jesus Jones (whom has cultivated the dignified life of a personal trainer these days in the picturesque Cotswolds) has to have a laugh too...presumably all the way to the bank! Good on him.

"@ AJ- ummm no! The sevens, Hurricanes etc etc all played at the stadium, and MANY a song sung."

Haha youre kidding yourself (or are extremly ignorant) if you seriously think anyone in Wellington, or the entire nation for that matter, does it better than Yellow Fever!!

Rugby supporters may try, but fail each time. Ive been to plenty of Rugby games over the years...

I vote Vorn should do the rugby world cup song. He's local, talented, needs the money and isn't a pillock (unlike the Feelers, who have done nothing new since their first album was released 47 years ago).

Peta Hohepa #303 Then that wouldn't have been truly reflective of the nations make up. Chillax NZ. It's only a song. It delivers a message and I wouldn't mind betting you that at more than one venue it is pumping out on some massive sound system and, just like the 7's, people will be singing along to it. Personally, I would have preferred a more current artist, like Dane Rumble, but lets just get on with it!!

@ everyone

STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE.....about the song, the band, the game and your country!!!!
