We're not sure what part of Outkast's catchy 2003 classic "Hey Ya" inspires national pride (maybe it's "shake it like a Polaroid picture?NSPS-276 Hot JAV Porn Movie") but some Australians tried to make it the country's national anthem anyway.
The bid to replace "Advance Australia Fair" -- the country's official national anthem since 1977 -- was just supported by four petitioners but the government still acknowledged it.

"The Australian National Anthem is widely accepted and popularly supported by a majority of Australians. The Australian Government has no plans to change the Anthem," reads a letter from Turnbull.

"Thank you for bringing this petition to my attention. I appreciate the important work of the Standing Committee on Petitions in putting community concerns before the Parliament."
Okay, sure it sounds like a standard rejection letter that governments probably dole out to a whole suite of requests.
However, it also comes after a push to change the country's national anthem lyrics to make it more inclusive toward Indigenous Australians, a call which the government also rejected.
As for the people who went to all that effort for "Hey Ya," perhaps this local cover will have to suffice.
