question: Give Me a Home Among the Gumtrees was an entry to replace what song attributed to John Bull?
answer: God Save the Queen
context: Title: John Bull (1799 ship)
  Passage: John Bull was a sailing ship built in 1799 at Liverpool for the slave trade.  She made one voyage carrying slaves from West Africa to Jamaica.  Thereafter she became a West Indiaman, trading with Jamaica.  Early in this period she was a letter of marque, and captured a French merchant vessel.  A little later "John Bull" detained an American vessel.  Much later she carried military prisoners to Australia from Ceylon on one voyage, and then on another transported female convicts to Australia from Cork.  She was last listed in 1833.
  Title: God Save the Queen
  Passage: "God Save the Queen" (alternatively "God Save the King", depending on the gender of the reigning monarch) is the national or royal anthem in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown Dependencies.  The author of the tune is unknown and it may originate in plainchant, but a 1619 attribution to John Bull is sometimes made.
  Title: George Eveleigh House
  Passage: The George Eveleigh House is a pre-Revolutionary house in Charleston, South Carolina.  The house was built about 1743 for trader George Eveleigh.  Eventually, Eveleigh returned to England and sold his house to John Bull in 1759.  John Bull or one of his heirs subsequently built the house at 34 Meeting Street on the rear of the property; the parcel had originally run from Church Street through the block to Meeting Street on the west.  The house retains much of its original cypress woodwork although many of the fireplace mantels were replaced in the Adam period.
  Title: John Bull (composer)
  Passage: Bull's place of birth is shrouded in uncertainty.  In an article published in 1952, Thurston Dart presumed that Bull's family originated in Somerset, where it is possible the composer was born.  It was the 17th century antiquarian Anthony Wood who first proposed that he was related to the Bull family of Peglich, Somerset, but in 1959 Dart wrote that Bull was "probably the son of a London goldsmith…".  Then, in the second edition of his "Calendar of the Life of John Bull", Dart proposed Hereford as a third possibility.  More recent research by Susi Jeans suggests that Bull was born in the Radnorshire parish of Old Radnor within the diocese of Hereford, although no birth records have yet been discovered.  Bull's appointment as organist of Hereford Cathedral in 1582 lends credence to this diocese being his place of birth: it was customary at this time for organists to return to their home cathedrals after training in London (cf: Thomas Morley).
  Title: Give Me a Home Among the Gumtrees
  Passage: Give Me a Home Among the Gumtrees (or Home Among the Gumtrees) is a popular Australian song written in 1974 by Wally Johnson and Bob Brown (aka Captain Rock).  It was originally performed as a satirical number in Johnson and Brown's comedy act at the Flying Trapeze Cafe in Fitzroy, Melbourne and was first recorded in 1975 on the Captain Rock album "Buried Treasure" on Mushroom Records.  At that time the Australian Government had decided to scrap "God Save the Queen" as the national anthem and was running a contest called the "Australian National Anthem Quest" to find a replacement.  The "Gumtrees" song was Johnson and Brown's response (it did not win).
  Title: Howard Cox
  Passage: Howard Cox is a British academic and Professor of International Business History at the University of Worcester.  His research covers international business, industrial and corporate change, and the business history of various industries, including publishing, tobacco, alcoholic beverages, and food retailing.  He is a contributor to the "History of Oxford University Press" which will be published in 2016, and is an associate member of the Centre for Printing History and Culture (CPHC).  His keynote lecture to the 2016 symposium of the CHPC was about the swindling founder of John Bull, Horatio Bottomley and entitled "Horatio Bottomley and the Making of John Bull Magazine."
  Title: I'll Be on My Way
  Passage: "I'll Be on My Way" is a song attributed to John Lennon and Paul McCartney, which was first released on 26 April 1963 by Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas as the b-side of their single "Do You Want to Know a Secret", a song also attributed to Lennon–McCartney.  The single reached number two in the UK charts while "From Me to You" by the Beatles was occupying the number 1 position.  According to Lennon, the song was written by McCartney: "This was early Paul."  However, there is good evidence that Lennon also contributed to the song.  Compton attributes it to "McCartney-Lennon."  The Beatles recorded a version of the song, first released in 1994 on the "Live at the BBC" compilation.
  Title: The Song of La Palice
  Passage: "The Song of La Palice" (in French: La chanson de la Palisse) is a burlesque song attributed to Bernard de la Monnoye (1641–1728) about alleged feats of French nobleman and military leader Jacques de la Palice (1470–1525).  From that song came the French term "" meaning an utterly obvious truth—i.e. a truism or tautology.  When you say something obvious, the interlocutor responds '"So would have said La Palice!"  (in French: "La Palice en aurait dit autant!") .
  Title: John Bull (ship)
  Passage: Several vessels have borne the name "John Bull", named for John Bull:
  Title: John Bull (locomotive)
  Passage: John Bull is a British-built railroad steam locomotive that operated in the United States.  It was operated for the first time on September 15, 1831, and it became the oldest operable steam locomotive in the world when the Smithsonian Institution operated it in 1981.  Built by Robert Stephenson and Company, the "John Bull" was initially purchased by and operated for the Camden and Amboy Railroad, the first railroad in New Jersey, which gave "John Bull" the number 1 and its first name, ""Stevens"".  (Robert L. Stevens was president of the Camden and Amboy Railroad at the time.) .  The C&A used the locomotive heavily from 1833 until 1866, when it was removed from active service and placed in storage.
