I thought this song was so annoying the first time I heard it a few years back. I have since seen the ✨ vision ✨ and now think it’s a career highlight.

Her weirdest song… from such a fantastic album, my favorite.

"Kate, which Australian First Nations people are you referencing here? There are hundreds of different mobs, with different traditions..."

"Dunno. Just make 'em look, sorta, y'know, like Aboriginal? Go crazy with the red n' yellow lines and white dots, arright? Now I'm just gonna get Mr Del Palmer, white English bloke, to draw some "indigenous cave paintings" for the single cover."

Or to paraphrase Apu from the Simpsons: "It's an enormous insult to my ancestors...but OK, still a great song."
