Classic, timeless, priceless! A pure gem of all grades, clarities, colors and cuts, all rolled into a less than three minute panorama of the better known indigenous fauna of the awesome only country-continent-island on Earth. Thanks for posting!
hahaha! I finally found this song! When I was in the elementary school, my first show was acting a kangaroo with this song. And I'm a college student now.
Thank! Reminds me & my Dad driving in the Cortina (1966-69) in England going home to La Corb'air off of the Ickenham Roundabout on Swakley's Rd(252by Warren's Way bus stop) & Dad's eyes would light up & he'd smile saying,"I like how Rolf plays the saw." Sweet memories! G'Day *' '~~*
I needed a smile and re-visted #rolfharris . Waltzing Matilda is also good. I can't help smiling. Share with your friends giving proper attribution to Rolf Harris!
Adam MYOFB John Jarrett isn’t a rapist, a claim with zero evidence from 50+ years ago right before he starts filming wolf creek 3 and season 3 of the show is just some dumb bitch trying to ruin someone’s career
Mick Taylor this the 3rd time I’ve seen you in the comments on UA-cam. I literally just watched mick and Paul singing in wolf creek 2 and you were in the comments 😂
One night, I think I sang this in my sleep. I like to take walks around my community while listening to old songs on my phone and one night, I dreamt I was singing this song while hopping like a kangaroo past the middle school.
My local oldies radio station was switching something or another and instead of going off the air they played this on repeat for a month and a half non stop
Oh gosh is that a thing?? Our rock radio station was playing this on loop from like 10 pm last night and I was just baffled lol, but maybe it's a running bit among radio DJ's or something. No offense to this song but I really hope they go back to rock music soon!
Don’t think that’s how it works mate. He was a sexual predator throughout much of his life and exploited his fame and standing to do so and cover it up. Whatever “good” he did was just a front. It’s always difficult to find out a childhood or nostalgic memory has been forever destroyed as a result of that persons actions, but you never try to downplay or justify what they did.
This would have been Mick Taylors version Give her a head on a stick Mick. Give her a head on a stick You just killed that chick Mick By giving her a head on a stick. And I tanned her hide when she died Clyde and thats it hanging in the shed.
a timeless classic , ya can't be an aussie , if ya dont luv this beauty, but if your trying to learn the words its tuff , cause the lyrics are out of sync with the music, they need to get bumped slightly ahead of where they are so you can read them before you sing them not after !!!
I did the Paul Taylor concert in school at in second grade since I’m going into third grade and this is what he did well this was one of our songs that we sang
He deeply regretted those lyrics later in life Growing up & learning aren’t “woke” or politically correct; it’s maturity & addressing old insensitivity’s
Am I the only one who just had the biggest Mandela Effect ever? I could swore for my whole life this was, "Tiny Kangaroo Dance." I can't be the only one!
I had my Mom take me to buy this 45rpm at the five and dime. I think I was five years old. Wore out the grooves on the record....drove my parents nuts!
when i was in school we learned this song today as a daycare teacher i have my kangroo puppet hand with a joey when i read them a story they look at the puppet as they think it is the kanaroo is speaking when we sing this song all the children start dancing prettendending to be kangaroo's it is very cute
when I started singing this song we made a big circle all the children were dancing like kangaroos well our supervisor saw this she stopped what she was doing she left her office then she danced like a kangaroo the first time I heard this song was at the commonwealth games opening ceremonies.
The gang and me sing this as a group on cross country road trips in the RV. We’re always stoned to the BeJesus. Yellow Submarine & pissing the night away ( I get knocked down) too.
Being from America, when I first heard it, I had no idea what aboes were. I figured they were some kind of Australian animal, the way the lyrics spoke of letting them go loose (as if they were kept in a pin or something), and being of no further use. As a matter of fact, I didn't know what a digeridoo was, either...Did I spell that right? I learned later on what these things were.
@@bwsmyhero -- Yeh, basically, saying "abo" in Australia is like saying "nigger" in America. And you can see what context Rolf wrote them in - as slaves to the white drovers.
Back when I was a teenager I loved Rolf Harris and later in life I found it heartwarming to discover that he loved us teenagers just as much.
Goddamn lmfao
Lmao
hahaahahhahahahahaha
Ok genuine lol
I loved him when I was young shame I didn't know I was his type
Billy Connelly said it best......
"You've got to wonder why someone wants to tie his kangaroo down".
I was almost 7 years old when I first heard this song. In 1963.I loved it then, and 61 years later , I still love it.
I never knew the Australian national anthem was this good
Titanashes Down unders the national anthem
Wtf no its
Nah, Icehouse’s ‘Great Southern Land’ will be the next national anthem
@@The_Real_Slim_Shadow94 or we are australian
@@Kalani_Saiko nah, great southern lands more catchy, and other countries will recognise it.
For all the Aussies who served and sacrificed in Nam, this was their song.
Shame it’s sung by a pedophile one that I’m glad to say is finally dead
You have also made this more perfect for my post today. Ty for this info.
And for all of these years, I have thought that it was “Tiny Kangaroo down sport”.
REAL

I was the one on the floor on My side 😂 in primary school
For some reason I listened to this for hours a day when I was younger

WOLF CREEK 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
bahahahaha!!!
The guy that played the villain in wolf creek also turned out to be a rapist, still going through court though

@@nalcbotany haha, he's been proven not guilty
@@Arlenmal the case has been solved, we should be getting season 3 of wolf creek possibly, he's been proven not guilty
i was singing this song all day at work today help to keep me sane. :)
I think of wolf creek 2 when I listen to this like that movie
This was one of my favorites ❤
Still a good song, after all these years,
Sadly, kangaroos were not the only thing he was tying down
Hahahahaaaa!! i bet..
You got that right. Pedophilal
hahah cant listen to this without thinking of Mick Taylor
What yer doing pom lol
“Ya pommie cantsssssssss”😂😂
It's funny how the guy was actually Australian who Mick was torturing, weak as piss 😂😂😂😂
"pommy ponce"
or The Wiggles
I guess rolf harris couldn't tie his kangaroo down.
Ruffy Sinister Yo
Or his cockatoo cool
Tanned his hide
nahhh, he had a Platypus..
"Mind me platypus duck, don't let it go running amuck." Turns out the song is creepy af
All together now.....!!!

IamCritical **sport* mate
YOURE A FUCKING POMMEL MATE
Mick Taylor this the 3rd time I’ve seen you in the comments on UA-cam. I literally just watched mick and Paul singing in wolf creek 2 and you were in the comments 😂
@@grumpymonk824 LOL mate XD
It turns out that his kangaroo isn't what we thought it was.
We always knew
I have great memories of fourth grade, so don’t tell me
Ikr. Weird how this song was originally racist.
@@mariamccormack6903 Huh? Can you elaborate
@@homelesshannah50 original lyrics used a certain word to refer to indigenous peoples

Such a funny song, love it as a kid. Your life was marred in the end, flawed, as we are all, but we should still appreciate the good that you did.
At the end !? He only got found out at the end, but was doing it throughout his life.

Wolf Creek 2.
bahahahaha!!!
This would have been Mick Taylors version
Give her a head on a stick Mick.
Give her a head on a stick
You just killed that chick Mick
By giving her a head on a stick.
And I tanned her hide when she died Clyde and thats it hanging in the shed.
Written by an American in the United States. One of me favorite songs.
Written by Rolf Harris in Australia
It was covered by an American but written by an Aussie.
This was my first time hearing this since kindergarten. I loved the song. Never forgot it. I always thought it was Tiny Kangaroo. Now I know.
This song has been stuck in my head all day! Omfg
a timeless classic , ya can't be an aussie , if ya dont luv this beauty, but if your trying to learn the words its tuff , cause the lyrics are out of sync with the music, they need to get bumped slightly ahead of where they are so you can read them before you sing them not after !!!
this song is the reason im alive.
A mostly lighthearted song, but with a dark, dark ending.
....and yes I have the full album, remembering it from childhood. My first time with this classic of his. I shall keep trying; karaoke fan.
The year is 2014 and I hear this song on a bus trip to a marching band competition.
Makes you feel like singing along with a group of folks!
Wolf Creek 2 brought me here.
+Jacob Balboa hahaha same here man
+Jacob Balboa me too lol
Jacob Balboa me too
Same 😂
This is an extremely catchy, albiet somwhat morbid, song. Well done, Rolf Harris!
I found out from AncestryDNA that I have a cousin in Australia. An Aussie! I always liked this song.
I STILL LOVE THIS GREAT SONG! THANKS FOR SHARING! R.K. 3/18/2021.
My dad used to sing this to me and then he tickled me! I miss those good old days! :'(
My dad used to sing this me to me and tickets 🎟 me i miss those good old days 😪 😕
my band is playing this in marching band and one of our drummers loves singing this.
So many memories of singing this at school when i was like 6 years old.
The most Australian anthem
This was one of my many favorite songs.
Wolf creek 2 brought me here
I did the Paul Taylor concert in school at in second grade since I’m going into third grade and this is what he did well this was one of our songs that we sang
My friend met Rolf when she was just 6 years old. He showed her his didgeridoo. She said she found meeting Rolf to be very touching.
NOOOOOO!!!
stopppppppppppp
I keep thinking of wolf creek 2, ALTOGETHER NOW
I’m here because I heard this song in wolf creek 2 movie. Lmao that’s psycho serial killer.
Tie me a child down, sport
Love this song.
i love this song it's amazing
My favorite song when I was a kid.
I notice the absence of the verse about "Let me Abos go loose Lou," assuming that it is no longer politically correct.
Yes, this is the non-racist version.
Yep
He deeply regretted those lyrics later in life Growing up & learning aren’t “woke” or politically correct; it’s maturity & addressing old insensitivity’s
Most Aussie song ever. They should make this song the national anthem
Thank you for this. I can remember it on the radio.. Yipe.
love this childhood memories song.....kind of sad the Kangaroo died....
anyone else think this was TINY kangaroo down sport
animalloverabh. yep i did, for years. lol.
Only the stupid ones
I thought it was “time to kangaroo down”
Tiny Kangaroo Dance Floor!
i think this song is in Wolf Creek 2 . tie kangaroo down sport
kirsty Brookes All together now!
Haha i came here after watching wolf creek 2. This song sounds really terrifying on miky taylor's voice.
Unfortunately, kangaroos weren't the only thing tied down
Takes me to when I was a kid on Saturdays nights.
I'm currently listening to this while drinking a Fosters! 🍺😎👍
عرفت الاغنية دي من فيلم امبارح بتاع سفاح استراليا وعجبتني😂❤
I like this song, wobble board and all.
Thanks for this! Best video of the song.
I heard this song in 1983 at a friend's. Still Strange Song.
Am I the only one who just had the biggest Mandela Effect ever? I could swore for my whole life this was, "Tiny Kangaroo Dance." I can't be the only one!
This just made me think up a continuation of that misinterpreted lyric. Tiny Kangaroo Dance Floor! 😂 I can’t un-hear it now!
Wolfcreek2 bring me here😂😂
It's a commercial for rope! Love it
In Memory of Rolf Harris
Born: 30 March 1930
Died: 10 May 2023
This song is creepy with the revelations of guilt
NOT A TRUER WORD SAID OR SPOKEN
That's just you and your perverted imagination. This is a song about a dying stockman, you fucktard.
Andrew Lale THANK YOU!!
What utter nonsense
I had my Mom take me to buy this 45rpm at the five and dime. I think I was five years old. Wore out the grooves on the record....drove my parents nuts!
Mick taylor wolf creek 😂😂
I had this on a 45 when I was a wee lad in 1965. I'd put the record on and turn it backward. Sounds great in reverse too.
when i was in school we learned this song today as a daycare teacher i have my kangroo puppet hand with a joey when i read them a story they look at the puppet as they think it is the kanaroo is speaking when we sing this song all the children start dancing prettendending to be kangaroo's it is very cute
when I started singing this song we made a big circle all the children were dancing like kangaroos well our supervisor saw this she stopped what she was doing she left her office then she danced like a kangaroo the first time I heard this song was at the commonwealth games opening ceremonies.
Marc Aaron as a teacher your English grammar is shit! Your a nonce like rolf
For some reason I thought of singing this song while I was in the shower..
Rolf would like that
Ben Burleson a request next time you are in the shower "Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight" lol
Where's the line about "Let me abo's go loose, Bruce, let me abo's go loose, they're of no further use ... " etc?
Abos are short for Aboraganess(sorry about the spelling. could not find it on spell check) they were used as servants
It was probably cut out as "abo" is a derogatory term to the indigenous people.
Yes, that's right. I had the album "Goofy Gold" with this song and the Abos verse. I've never heard it anywhere else.
I STILL LOVE THIS GREAT SONG! R.K. 1/5/2023.😀😁
i love Mick Taylor
Wolf Creeek
tie me kangaroo down !!!! i always wanted a wobble board
Wolf Creek 2 Brought me here lol
I wonder how may played his didgeridoo
I still love his music..
I STILL LOVE THIS GREAT SONG! 9/1/2022.
This reminds me of being 5 years old singing this with my grandad
I’m sure most people including myself were brought here from wolf creek 2. That scene and the truck scene were kind of funny 😂
The gang and me sing this as a group on cross country road trips in the RV. We’re always stoned to the BeJesus. Yellow Submarine & pissing the night away ( I get knocked down) too.
He guest starred on Frasier 💙😁
Wolf Creek *-*
This has to have been from the 60's, funny as heck !
This brings me back to the og wiggles
This is the good old song from Wolf creek😂
Came here after watching "Who Let the Dogs Out". Just seemed like the right thing to do.
Rolf took that "Abo" verse out by this recording. I wonder what year he thought it was getting racist?
Being from America, when I first heard it, I had no idea what aboes were. I figured they were some kind of Australian animal, the way the lyrics spoke of letting them go loose (as if they were kept in a pin or something), and being of no further use.
