I Still Call Australia Home - Peter Allen - MP3 instrumental karaoke

When the famed Australian showman Peter Allen wrote "I Still Call Australia Home," in 1980, he couldn't quite have foreseen the lasting mark the song would leave on the world. This moving, sentimental ballad became a patriotic anthem that captured the pull of "home" as a beacon of comfort for many Australians living out or away from the country ("I've been to cities that never close down / From New York to Rio and old London town / But no matter how far or how wide I roam / I still call Australia home"). "I Still Call Australia Home" was majestically performed at the 1984 Summer Olympics' Opening Gala TV special (in Los Angeles) by Olivia Newton-John from Sydney in a medley with another Australian anthem, "Waltzing Matilda." However, that was just the tip of the iceberg: "I Still Call Australia Home" has since been taken on by everyone from Kylie Minogue to the Australian Welsh Male Choir.
