Original stands for Always Black, Original. Both members are Indigenous Australians; Briggs is a Yorta Yorta man and Trials is Ngarrindjeri. Their music is overtly political and has been described as "angry, polemical, brutally frank and meant to inspire a response, good or bad".
A.B. Original's first release was the single "January 26" (featuring Dan Sultan), released in August 2016, which comments on the use of that date for Australia Day. This was followed up by an album entitled Reclaim Australia in November. The provocatively titled album features many guests including Thelma Plum, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu and Archie Roach.

@@theatrain5388 If you think, me being happy to blast this song is being hateful, you have no idea what hate really is.
But since you're trying to clutch at the 'Hate Train' (instead of staying on your train), your negativity found it's way here -- then you say, 'can't we all just get along'.

There are far more worse threads on the internet that you can get yourself worked up over.
This just isn't one of them.

LYRICS
You can call it what you want
But it just don't mean a thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
Fuck that, honey
You can come and wave your flag
But it don't mean a thing to me
No, it just don't mean a thing
Fuck that, honey
You can call it what you want
But it just don't mean a thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
Fuck that, honey
You can come and wave your flag
But it don't mean a thing to me
No, it just don't mean a thing
Fuck that, honey
They said, "Hey Briggs, pick a date" (okay)
"You know, one we can celebrate" (for sure)
"Where we can come together
Talk about the weather, call that Australia Day"
I said, "How about March 8th?" (that's a good one)
And we can do it on your Nan's grave (got that bitch!)
We can piss up, piss on her face
Get lit up and burn out like Mark Skaife
They screamin' "love it or leave it" (love it!)
I got more reason to be here, if you could believe it
Won't salute a constitution or who's underneath it
Turn that flag to a noose, put a cease to your breathin'
I can't get in my whip, I get a ticket for that
I get a DWB, and that's a "Driving Whilst Black"
I turn the other cheek, I get a knife in my back
And I tell 'em it hurts, they say I overreact
So fuck that (fuck that!)
You can call it what you want
But it just don't mean a thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
(Hey Briggs!) Fuck that, honey
You can come and wave your flag
But it don't mean a thing to me
No, it just don't mean a thing
I said celebrate the heretic anytime outside Jan. 26 (anytime)
That's the date for them suckas doin' that sucka shit (that's true!)
That's that land takin', flag wavin' attitude
Got this new Captain Cook dance to show you how to move (move it!)
How you wanna raise a flag with a rifle
To make us want to celebrate anything but survival?
Nah, you watchin' tele for The Bachelor
But wouldn't read a book about a fuckload of massacres? (what!)
I remember all the blood and what carried us (I remember)
They remember twenty recipes for lamingtons (yum)
Yeah, their ancestors got a boatride
Both mine saw them comin' until they both died
Fuck celebratin' days made of misery (fuck that)
White Oz still got the black history (that's true)
And that shirt will get you banned from the parliament
If you ain't havin' a conversation, well, then we startin' it
You can call it what you want
But it just don't mean a thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
Fuck that honey
You can come and wave your flag
But it don't mean a thing to me
No, it just don't mean a thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
Nah, it just don't mean a thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
Nah, it just don't mean a thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
Nah, it just don't mean a thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
Nah, it just don't mean a
Motherโfuckin' thing
No, it just don't mean a thing
Wave it, wave it baby
Wave it, wave it (eat the flag)
Wave it, wave it mama
Wave that flaggy (wear the flag)
Wave it, wave it baby (what you gonna do?!)
Wave it, wave it (wave it baby!)
Wave it, wave it mama
Wave that flaggy

January 26th 2023. One of the first things I did today was listen to this song. As a white Australian with British/ Scottish heritage this song really opened my eyes to the issue and got me to see the date from the Indigenous people's perspective. Today I'll be staying home. No celebrations. Nothing special. The date has to change. March 8th does sound like a good day. Thanks A.B for this song even years later. It's still deep as ever.
@rhiannonh5202
That is great! If you can, next year I highly recommend going to a march in support of First Nations perspectives surrounding Jan 26 if you are nearby one. You'll learn lots from local Elders and Aboriginal leaders and also get to witness some rich cultural ceremonies.
@patrickm.johnson.6604
Same. Australia Day should be January the 1st, then when they signed the papers. You're bang on, great song!
