That's not the title of that song, it's just lazy youtube labelling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canberra_Cavalry
The team song, played after winning games, is "I Wanna Be in the Cavalry" by Corb Lund.
It seems outside the spirit of the Friday-night themes to just post random youtube search results.

Nobody will ever make a song about Canberra, the capital of Australia, because it's so boring! :cry:That's what happens when they argue about whether Melbourne or Sydney should be the capital, and then decide to compromise, and just build a city somewhere between them.
well, Melbourne was the capital for the first 26 years until they built canberra because only Melbourne had a room large enough for the opening of the first parliament. Love that.

If the title of the song is as given, what would you ask for if you wished to purchase it?

This would be wrong as well I suppose?

Identify the capital of the countries posted without checking first. Turkey has drawn a few wrong ones. I could have looked the same songs up in one of the books I have. But still rely on youtube to provide the actual video evidence. Nowt random about the videos posted. Capitals checked and the more obscure ones posted

Melbourne was the national capital from the Federation of Australia in 1901 until 1927, when the seat of national government was moved to the newly created city of Canberra which currently serves as the national capital.
Australia's first and only capital city was and is Canberra.
"There is a common misconception taught overseas that Melbourne was once the capital of Australia. This was never the case: Melbourne was the temporary seat of power between 1901 and 1927, purely because it was the only city with a building large enough to house the parliament. It was never the nation's capital."
