    Released: January, 2003

    Released: 2003

An Elefant Never Forgets is the second album by Australian hip hop band The Herd, released February 10, 2003.[1]

The first single released from the album, "Burn Down the Parliament", was meant to be interpreted metaphorically, but unfortunately was released the same week as the devastating Canberra bushfires in 2003.[2]

The second track released, "77%", featured the line "77% of Aussies are racist", referring to the number of Australians announced in a survey that agreed with the Australian federal government's response to the MV Tampa incident, and also directly attacked the perceived racism of a number of Australian radio talkback hosts, caused a small stir which gained the track more publicity.[3]

"77%" scored well on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2003, coming in at #46.[4]
