*Tie me kangaroo down, sport* This wacky Aussie tune was inspired by a calypso song sung by Harry Belafonte. "It was written as a result of the Belafonte calypso craze that was sweeping the world in the 1950s," said Rolf Harris. "It impressed me enormously." At the time, the Australian-born Harris played the piano and sang songs on children's television in England. He also performed one night a week at a night spot called The Down Under Club, which catered to Australians. "I was trying to come up with new songs that had a simple chorus that everybody in the club could join in with," said Harris. Back then, Belafonte was riding a crest of popularity with his hit "Banana Boat (Day-O)" and had just recorded his follow-up "Hold 'Em Joe."

@theknowall2232

7 жыл бұрын

Recalled Harris, "I liked 'Hold 'Em Joe.' There was a line that went, 'Don't tie me donkey down there, let him bray, let him bray.' And I thought, 'That's good. I can change that and make it an Australian calypso. Instead of a donkey, I'll have a kangaroo in there somewhere.' "Eventually, I came up with 'Tie me kangaroo down, sport.' And the tune seem[ed] to come from midair. It was just handed to me on a plate." Harris then sat down and wrote as many verses as he could think of that had anything to do with Australia.

_adds some much needed wobble board accompaniments to this thread, while immitating Rolf's weird, uncomfortably pseudo-orgasmic throat noises_ *OOHa HEEha WOOho WEEEhA*

Lyrics: There's an old Australian stockman. Lying, dying. He gets himself up onto one elbow, Turns to his mates, who are gathered around in the Royal Albert Hall. And he says, ... Watch me wallabies feed, mate. Watch me wallabies feed. Hey, look. They're a dangerous breed, mate. So watch me wallabies feed. All together now. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down. Take me koala back, Jack. Take me koala back. He lives somewhere out on the track, mac. So take me koala back. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down. Now at this time, the poor old fella's getting slightly delirious. The second to last gasp, he says, ... Play your didgeridoo, blue. Play your didgeridoo. Keep playing, 'til I shoot through, blue. Play your didgeridoo. All together now. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kanfaroo down. And then, with his very last gasp, He just manages to get his words out. Tan me hide, when I'm dead, Fred. Tan me hide, when I'm dead. So, we tanned his hide, when he died, Clyde. That's it hanging on the shed. All together now. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down. A-One more time, now. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Tie me kangaroo down.

I was in the marching band at school back in the mid to late 80s. We played this song for some reason. I had no clue what or where it came from. That was the only time I had heard that song until I listened to it just now. lol

Remember him this way.

AICabal That is a rather controversial way of looking at it. While I understand your comment from a logical point of view I don't think that way of thinking is very helpful in a moral point of view. For example using that reasoning, can we really say anyone is responsible for any of their actions? Tricky isn't it? I would argue that we need to remember him for the disgusting acts he did, regardless of whether he really "chose" to do that or not. The reason being that he damaged people's lives and we need a deterrent that deters other people from committing these crimes, that deterrent being public humiliation and incarceration. I think it is very ignorant and damaging to society to simply remember this man for the good things he did, do you really want to live in a society where we ignore sexual abuse against children? That last bit being more directed at *****

Are you having a laugh eeeeeeee

When Rolf Harris asks you to "Play his Didgeridoo" you'd better run for the hills.

It was said, at the time, that the wobble board used for the original recording was a "borrowed" highway sign.

You lot shouldn't assume his suppose "wrong-doings" until an official verdict has been given. Rolf is a great guy, see how much he cared for animals whilst presenting Animal Hospital.
