"Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" by Rolf Harris [View all]

First of all, if you clicked on this, congratulations! I hear we're getting a raise on our Social Security checks!

I'm posting the latest song I woke to playing in my head this morning.

It was 1963 when this song found its way to number 3 on the Billboard Chart in the US, featuring a digeridoo and a "wobble Board" that the Perth native invented. The song captured the ear of George Martin who rerecorded and produced the US version, including this rare version featuring The Beatles singing back up.

Harris was also an artist and painted the official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II for her 80th birthday.
