Legacy

In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time, "Dancing in the Storm" was ranked number 51.[1]

The song has been described as "ever-present" in Australian sports broadcasts, with the Australian Football League licensing the song for a number of years. Farnan later said, "I'm actually quite proud to play songs that are out there in our popular culture. Having that big communal moment at a festival playing a song like "Dancing in the Storm", there is nothing like it."[2]
