When I was in Keswick, in the English Lake District, there was a guy busking with a didgeridoo, nothing else. It was strangely relaxing.

Not just one didgeridoo, but two of them!  It's a one-note instrument.

Try singing along to this song. It's easy - just try any combination of these words...

Meow... quack quack... rebbit

If you think cat... duck... frog  then you will get the idea.

Works for me!

I enjoy this song and appreciate that the didgeridoo takes talent to play, but there are sounds in this recording that remind me of someone spitting their chew into a Mountain Dew bottle.

Kind of interesting (to me) how I've heard this for years and never rated it —up until now it's been no big deal, I'd probably have given it a 6. But just now, something snapped in me and I absolutely hated it. 2 for now but I never want to hear it again or it'll be a 1. Or maybe it'll go back to 6. But I doubt it. {#Confused}

It's camels they're after eating now, mate - apparently the outback is infested with the humpy buggahs and they're eating everything in sight. See this Independent article.

So, gimme a camel burger pronto or I'll get the hump!

Agreed. Way too long. That didg was driving me insane in the end. If I happened to be watching that live I would have had to have smashed him over the head with it.

It's the "Stairway to Heaven" of new age music. Or "Born to Run," maybe. (And nice to hear in full rather than just as bumper music in between talk show or news story segments).

I tried playing a digeridoo once and have infinite respect for anyone who can coax this much music out of one. Outback gets a good groove on here.

Err...that is actually a wind instrument.Digeridoo, that long thing played on the cover above. Hence the outback bit to the sound as well as the name. And I think there may be some Jews Harp or some such as well involved. I weren't listening that closely at the time it was played.

And banjo. Also not complaining, but a band that included both would probably get every track played at least once.

I keep hearing strains of "Norwegian Wood" in the guitar, which just adds to the yumminess. Yes, yumminess is a technical term.
