Does anyone know why they called it Waltzing Matilda?
Why is it called Waltzing Mathilda? I always wondered if it was based on the old standard also called Waltzing Mathilda. I know the one Tom Waits wrote is different, but I haven't heard the standard in many years.

The Tom Waits songs is no different to the Tico song. Same Lyrics, same harmonies they just gave it a different name. Maybe they thought we are not smart enough to remember the title when no one actually sings "Tom Trauberts Blues nanana shalala yeah heyhey". I don't know.
