Guess what? In the '70s PM Gough Whitlam held an anthem quest to replace God Save the Queen. The Australian people responded eagerly with entries in notation, lyric and tape-recorded form. One newspaper promised national radio play. But all submissions were turfed. Dumpster-diving the national archives, Georgia Lucy found them! The dirty dirges with an urge to be heard, held together by a heavy-duty stationery clip from Gough's office.
Obsessed, Lucy got swept through Qld floods to sing a re-enacted anthem to dairy cows from their sister's amplified van. On another occasion, they discovered antique Australian AI content by four humans and one ICL 1904A computer (called Fred).
Following Fred's formula, but using anthem entries, they are reanimating a monster mash for Firstdraft.
