"Anthem for the Year 2000"
Song

"Anthem for the Year 2000" is a song by Silverchair, which was released as the first single from their third album, Neon Ballroom.

The song reached number 3 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, but did not make #1 like the first singles from their previous albums, Frogstomp's "Tomorrow" and Freak Show's "Freak". This trend would continue with Diorama's lead single, "The Greatest View", but would end with Young Modern's lead, "Straight Lines". "Anthem for the Year 2000" is included on the MuchMusic's Big Shiny Tunes 4.

Video

The music video was directed by Gavin Bowden, who also made some videos for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Australian actress Maggie Kirkpatrick played the robot politician.
