Kanye West is being called on to perform at a Victorian country pub that's gone `a gold diggin' to cover the cost of renovations.

Tatura publican Bugs Ryan features in a video that seeks to get what he calls "the internet" behind the hashtag "Carn Kanye".

The pub has been selling naming rights to its assets, with bar stools, the pool table and even the chicken parma, now known as the "Scotty Perry parma", up for sale.

Football star Billy Brownless, along with a radio station, has bought the rights to the toilet, with the urinal bearing image of the footballer's face.

If the pub reaches its $65,000 fundraising target, Mr Ryan says it will "hold the biggest bloody party the internet has ever seen", and they want Kanye West to headline.
