"C'mon Aussie C'mon" is an Australian Cricket anthem.

The song was orignially sung by the Mojo Singers in 1977 as a pean to the wonders of World Series Cricket's unofficial Australian cricket team. The song eulogised legends such as Dennis Lillee, the Chappell brothers Ian and Greg and Rod Marsh and ended with a memorable chorus "C'mon Aussie, C'mon, C'mon" sung again and again. The song appeared on an advertisement on the Channel 9 network who broadcasted WSC cricket.

The song was a smash hit and was sung at the WSC games and was even sung by crowds at the official test matches.

Each season the lyrics changed to announce who would be the Australian Cricket team's opponents each summer and to highlight the team's latest stars.

[edit] Shannon Noll version

In 2004, Australian singer Shannon Noll resurrected the song with new lyrics to mention current stars of the game as Adam Gilchrist and Glenn McGrath.

The track was released on December 20 2004 to aid the children's charity "Good Start", a joint charity set up by the Australian Red Cross and Sanitarium foods to raise money to ensure all Australian children start the day with a healthy breakfast. The charity reported an earning of in excess of AU$150,000 from the proceeds of the sales of the single.
