The great old swimmer Dawn Fraser came out for the match and she took the mike and led the crowd in the "Ozzie, ozzie, ozzie - oi, oi oi!" chant. Bondi had an M.C. character named Lifeguard Dave, and he ran around directing the crowd in a half-dozen versions of the wave. You know how I hate the wave, but to see 10,000 people doing the Bondi Slow-Motion Wave while they play "The Skater...

As the fouls and glares piled up on court, the fans simply started their own fun, cheerfully ribbing U.S. men's champs Kevin Garnett and Alonzo Mourning - who was so taken by Sydney that he gave the city's name to his newborn daughter, Myka Sydney - as the towering duo sat in the stands holding aloft a hand-drawn sign more suited to a junior-high pep rally: USA Came...

...middle-distanceman (Thorpe) at anchor, they didn't figure to lose now. But the Thorpedo is special; he's magic. He had the lead, he lost it, he found it again with his very last stroke.

Despite these defective tracks, purchasing this album is completely justified simply based upon No Doubt's "Oi to the World." Gwen Stefani and her mates rip roar through this punk/ska hybrid written by the Vandals. With their contribution, No Doubt energize A Very Special Christmas 3. The song explodes with a catchy bass line and is driven forward by Stefani's singing and horns blaring the sounds of Christmas. In under three minutes, No Doubt will have your Christmas party jumping. The manic performance of "Oi to the World" represents what the holiday season is all about...
