Brisbane orchestral art-rock band, The Red Paintings, collaborated with the Sea Shepherd to record a Midnight Oil Cover of "Beds are Burning" now called "Whales are Dying" with lyrics written by Sea Shepherd's founder, Captain Paul Watson & Trash McSweeney and backing vocals sung by ships crew the night before their ship, the 'Steve Irwin', left Australia for their latest campaign in Antarctic waters.
"With Peter Garrett being the current Australian Minister for the Environment who is allowing the Japanese to kill whales in our own backyard the Australian Antarctic whale sanctuary, the irony of using a Midnight Oil cover parody of " Beds are Burning" called " Whales are Dying " we thought was perfect and straight to the point STOP JAPAN FROM KILLING WHALES" Said Trash McSweeney, song writer for The Red Paintings.
