''And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda' has been recorded many times throughout the world including recordings by world renown performers such as The Fureys, The Pogues, Joan Baez, The Clancy Brothers and The Bushwackers, as well as being translated into many different languages, including Turkish. If we allow that the volume of recorded versions of the song represent a fraction of the performers who have included it in their repertoire, then in the space of 35 years, this song has become one of the most widely performed Australian songs worldwide.'
