Apparently, Rolf recorded that song three or four times. The version here is probably the one that was popular in the UK; I don't think it's the one that made number three on the US charts. Nevertheless, it still brings back fond memories from the early sixties. While some of the other songs on this album have familiar titles, they may not be the songs you think they are. "Three Blind Mice" and "Lay That Pistol Down" are two cases in point. When I was young and foolish (now I'm old and foolish), some nut from far away Australia named Rolf Harris released a song called "Tie Me Kangeroo Down Sport. The thing made little or no sense, so naturally, it went platinum. Only last week, I learned "Sun Arise," a song I loved when I was eleven or twelve, was also by Harris (handy thing the internet - besides, it gives you something to do with the computer besides play solitare).
Rolf Harris was something of an Australian Lonnie Donegan in that he performed a variety of folk-based material, but became known in America for one big novelty hit. For Donegan that hit was "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor (On the Bedpost Over Night)," while Harris' claim to fame was the Top Five "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport. To be fair to Lonnie Donegan, though, Rolf Harris recorded much more comedy material overall and can more fairly be considered a novelty act, despite occasional straight pop performances such as "Bluer Than Blue. Though much of the remainder may be disposable, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" is still a catchy and delightful folk-pop record, and easily Harris' best.
