Never seen that video before, and having listened to a fair amount of Midnight Oil records back in the day (but never having watched much TV), really enjoyed it.

In case you didn’t realize it, the “I love a plundered country” slogan parodies a well-known (within Australia) bit of verse:

That was the first Midnight Oil song I ever loved. Plus, it was always fun announcing the name of the album (10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) on the air.
