''[[Bran Nue Dae]]'' is a stage musical that debuted in 1990
As it is a musical, it has to have songs. The Australian nature of the show and the film comes across in each number, and none is a typical ‘musical theatre’ song, all having various mixes of rock, folk, country and traditional Aboriginal elements.
Line 8:
Was made into a film in 2009 which became one of the highest grossing Australian films, raking in $7 million.

* [[All
* [[Going Native]]: the {{spoiler|ending, where all the main characters eat a meal in Willy’s mum’s house and suddenly realise “We’re all Aboriginal today!”}}
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]: Most of the Aboriginal characters speak English using very Aboriginal accents and slang words, which are sometimes seen by white Australians as being uneducated. We rarely hear them speak their native languages, presumably for access purposes.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Played for laughs. Aboriginals in the ‘60s had very few freedoms, but the show and film take a humorous view while still highlighting the discriminations and problems of the time.
* [[Crowd Song]]: the final number, a reprise of Nothing I Would Rather Be, sung earlier just before Willy runs away from school. Every character in the film gets a second in the limelight.
* [["I Am" Song]]: Long Way From My Country, sung by Uncle Tadpole the first time both Willy and the audience meet him.
* [["I Want" Song]]: arguably Going Back Home, sung by Annie and Uncle Tadpole while on the road to Broome. Also a Road Song.
* [[Minor Character, Major Song]]: Annie singing Afterglow.
* [[Movie Bonus Song]]: or in this case, soundtrack bonus song. Six White Boomers (a Christmas song) by Rolf Harris is on the soundtrack, but wasn’t in either the film or the stage production.
