While it is the case that these volumes have these themes to them, most of the covers have their genre changed from the original. Truncated versions of each volume are also set to be released on streaming services, due to copyright issues where the rights to some songs could not be secured. | ||

In the skit, Argie Bees band members have an "argie bargie" over whether the following track can be considered Australian, due it to just having late British-Australian singer Olivia Newton-John as the original artist, and whether preceding tracks were even Australian too. Every argument is shut down with a voice saying the Aussie slang phrase "She'll be right". The final bonus track, "Sydney", is also not lyrically or thematically about the Australian town, but is included in the album in reference to it. | ||
