Australian humour music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australian humour music (often quite similar in style to Australian country music) is based on irreverent, rude, but harmless humour. Its lyrics often include a lot of swearing and are rarely about controversial or meaningful issues.
Australian (perhaps inherited from the British) humour uses deadpan, in which an outrageous or ridiculous statement without explicit signs of joking, such as tales of kangaroos hopping across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and drop bears exemplify the propensity for this style of leg-pulling.
Although you can buy the CDs at most music shops, this genre is generally not very commercial and spread mostly by word of mouth and small country town concerts. However it is very popular especially in rural areas of Australia.
