Every 80s and 90s kid remembers Round the Twist. A series of books turned into a classic TV show where the actors for each character changed just about every season. The theme song is iconic. And Prolific Productions on Youtube has remixed it to you. Can I request my local club to play this?

When this remix was unveiled as the song that would play at the midnight fireworks show at Sydney Harbour in 2004, it caused such an outrage on talkback radio that Prime Minister John Howard even commented on it, saying “It is after all our national anthem and I don’t think it should be played around with.”
