Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture i wish i had a Wanna Be	#1 by i wish i had a gibson at Nov 17, 1970 at 4:13 PM EST
	I think it's more likely the 45 degrees just refers to temperature. For what it's worth, I thought this song was about America until I realized what I thought was "Kentucky" was really "Kintore East".

No Picture Lachlan Wanna Be	#2 by Lachlan Magee at Jan 6, 1975 at 6:02 AM EST
	Haha, yeah. An Australian political rock group would sing about America. :/

No Picture Neal Wanna Be	#3 by Neal McMorrow at Aug 28, 1975 at 9:34 AM EST
	It's about giving a part of Australia back to the Aborigines.

No Picture Michael Average	#4 by Michael Balzary A.K.A FLEA at Jun 24, 1979 at 2:39 PM EST
	I made the trip from Melbourne to Sydney on January 29th, 2005, to go to the Wave Aid concert. It was there that I got to see Midnight Oil play live, for the first and most likely last time in my life. They played this song, along with a handful of others, and it was an amazing experience to just shout out the words, along with 50,000 other Australians. Peter Garrett and the Oils, always saying what everyone else was thinking, but too scared to say. Lets hope his political career won't muffle him too much. What a group of Champions the Oils are. Cheers!

No Picture CARL Rhythm Player	#5 by CARL WEBER at Sep 21, 1981 at 7:38 PM EST
	Alas the Oils are no more - turned out I went to their last Melbourne gig. Anyhow - Peter Garrett is still out there fighting the good fight - actually was named an australian living treasure for his contribution to social and environmental issues - certainly no boozingf and cheap women - be ashamed !!

No Picture chivo Wanna Be	#6 by chivo rivers at Feb 3, 1985 at 5:25 PM EST
	thank you for that lovely little bit of nationalistic stereotyping. if you would care to investigate before spouting off self-righteous bullshit, you would have found that Midnight Oil has made multiple efforts with multiple tribes of indigenous people to right the wrongs perpetrated on them. they have multiple NONPROFIT tours of the bushland to get a feel for the plight of the Aborigines and gave donated significantly to legal action against the abuse of Aboriginal land rights. hell, you don't even have to know all that to not be "skeptical"--just look at the remainder of the Deisel and Dust album. the entire thing is committed specifically to the issues facing the indigenous peoples of Australia. sigh i dunno. i'm just pissed because i'm an oiler to the core. any other band and i might be inclined to agree with you. but Midnight Oil wasn't--isn't--any other band. that's the reason i'm an oiler even now.

No Picture AJ Rhythm Player	#7 by AJ Frank at Jun 4, 1988 at 10:43 AM EST
	"But perhaps he should lead by example ? lol " umm... I think he lives a perfect example. He is now more well known for his good work in the community, than as "that dude from Midnight Oil". I think he is a wonderful role model and he's done wonders for this country.

No Picture randy Professional	#8 by randy taylor at May 30, 1994 at 3:01 AM EST
	Im actually living/working at Yulara, the little tourist resort/town a few Ks out from Uluru. All of the Anangu that I have met through work so far have been absolutely lovable characters, and I'm so happy that they have still retained much of their culture. Being displaced in the cities and having no culture to connect to would be a major contribution to the reason of high crime rates among the indidgenous population. but instead of whining about it, why not get out there and help out, help all Australians. And stop with the gross generalisations you numbsculls!! I feel this song in my heart. Everyone knows what its about so i shall leave out any input

No Picture Jeremy Wanna Be	#9 by Jeremy Lehman at Dec 10, 2000 at 6:14 AM EST
	I heard this song inside a subway one day and i liked it, but i didnt catch the name of it and i only heard fragments of the lyrics. I spent the next couple of days searching furiously to find out the title of the song, and i posted on a forum and someone told me. I was so happy, this song pretty much rocks.
