Australian would look like.

 * In The Summertime lyrics **

I don't have a job I never liked them I just wanna play in the sunshine

They say I was wrong But I know better I live my life like I'm dying

Gimme a chance I'll do my best to kick and scream and dance When winter comes I'll turn around

Take me back to the sweet times The hot nights Everything is gonna be alright In the summertime Baby, in the summertime And even if I have to wait til next year I don't care All I know is that I'll meet you there In the summertime Baby, in the summertime That is where I'll be

I can't complain 'Cos I'm still breathing There's nobody breathing down my neck now

Gimme a go Like an open furnace setting fire to snow When winter comes I'll ask the crowd

To take me back to the sweet times The hot nights Everything is gonna be alright In the summertime Baby, in the summertime And even if I have to wait til next year I don't care All I know is that I'll meet you there In the summertime Baby, in the summertime That is where I'll be

So let me run I'll dream until my head weighs 16 tonnes And when I wake sometime in June I'll say

Take me back to the sweet times The hot nights Everything is gonna be alright In the summertime Baby, in the summertime And even if I have to wait til next year I don't care All I know is that I'll meet you there In the summertime Baby, in the summertime

Take me back to the sweet times The hot nights Everything is gonna be alright In the summertime Baby, in the summertime And even if I have to wait til next year I don't care All I know is that I'll meet you there In the summertime Baby, in the summertime Baby, in the summertime Baby, in the summertime That is where I'll be

**Commentary **
The composer of this song is called Thirsty Merc and the song name is called “in The Summer Time”. The type of genre that this song is rock/pop. The song was released in 2004 and the purpose of this is to entertain people.

The dominant reading of this text is the summertime that is related to beach culture. I chose this song because it is the Bondi Rescue theme song and the words they use like hot nights, sunshine and summer time reminds me about the beach. The phrase “I’ll do my best to kick and scream and dance” shows what some people do on the beach with friends. In the song there is no stereotyping and it is very positive too and it mentions a lot of the summer time and the resistant reading to the song is that its not always sunny in the sumer time.

The technique’s and devices that they use in this song are repetition of the chorus and the different verses that are talking about different aspects of summer time like the repition in the song. The song uses informal language like “wanna”, “gimme” and “gonna” which shows the writers are young, outgoing and relaxed.

The song shows a positive understanding of Australian identity by the language and the way the song shows how Austrian beach culture is and the effectiveness of this and the purpose of the song is saying that in the beach culture they like to go in the beach at the summer time  media type="youtube" key="Bg3WnoUf8vk" width="425" height="350"

The Bondi rescue show. Shows the man of beach culture and you see a lot of people in thongs, bordies and tank tops and much more the show the man of Australian living and how it is represented though the show of Australian culture and typical Australian living and the bondi rescue video shows at summer time.



The advertisement shows the opposite of beach summer culture and it is resistant to the reader and that it means that there is a side effect to the beach culture and that has a bad side to it to and there’s a bad side and it is not just the Australian beach culture and that it has a diffrent side to beach culture that theres a bad part to it to it is the opposite.
