A few years ago, someone posted a webpage with a bunch of different atari commercials. One of them had a lyric that was driving me crazy because I could never figure out what they were singing. I even posted on here asking if anyone could figure it out. I was searching for something else Atari today and found the commercial again.

The lyric that I couldn't figure out was right at the beginning:
"hey (something) what's your favorite game. I've got invaders in my sights and I'm taking aim.

I found the commercial on youtube today and there was the missing lyric right in the title.
"hey australia what's your favorite game.

Atari Commercial

Listening to the commercial now again, I don't think I would have ever figured that out.

Yep, the Australian singers are pronouncing the word "Australia" weird because they're in Australia and are using Australian accents.

Funny.

I've been wondering about this for years as well.

When I discovered that this song was in the Australian videos only, I figured out that the word was "Australia".
