Ten Guitars

This led to increased sales of the single and national popularity of the song, particularly as a singalong party number.

A 1996 television documentary Ten Guitars looked at the history of the song and its impact on New Zealand culture.

It featured cover versions of the song from prominent New Zealand musicians of the time, including Tim Finn and Neil Finn, the Topp Twins, Dalvanius Prime, Jan Hellriegel, Purest Form, Mika and Moana Maniapoto.

It was made up of ten custom-built guitars inlaid with pāua shell designs of kowhaiwhai patterns.
