This is an amazing ad. It uses some amazing music. And I hear Joe Biden say uplifting things about "our country" to the song "The Voice" by Australian artist John Farnham. Wheee! Am I supposed to be happy for Australia or the US? hehehe!
like this
heh! agreed, @Muse - but such is our egalitarian society: we're racist to everyone irregardless of skin tone or country of origin until they start making lotsa moneh then they're suddenly "Australian!". At least we dont wait until they're dead, i guess :/
"Thompson was initially doubtful if Farnham was able to do the song justice, as he only knew the singer from the novelty song "Sadie (The Cleaning Lady)", which Farnham had performed about 18 years prior as a teenager. Thompson later admitted in an interview that his reaction to Farnham was "You've got to be joking. He's not doing it" The winning touch: bagpipes 😁

here's hoping the US has more luck with the blursed song
