Talk:Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport

message: I always thought that the entire song was just an attempt by Harris to get as many penis/vagina/sex euphemisms past the censor of the day as possible ?
Now Wikipedia says the song REALLY is about animals !!

thread_title: Not euphemisms ?

message: In the verse mentioned in the article, there is written "Bruce", but the version I have he sings Lou (or something along those lines).  Anyone can verify the Bruce part? --[Svippong - Talk] 14:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bruce? 

message: The article claims that Rolf re-recorded the song in 2005 for the Wiggles. My son has the video with Rolf and the song both on it, and the copyright date of the video is 2000. So the recording was done in 2000 instead of 2005, or he did multiple re-recordings, or the 2000 version was just lip-syncing an eariler recording. I couldn't find anything with a quick Google search... can anyone dig deeper and resolve this? Ideally, the 2005 date should be backed up with a reference.

thread_title:  Re-recording for Wiggles 

message: There are several recordings of this song with Rolf Harris and the Beatles recording together, should we include that in the article? Elfred (talk) 07:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Beatles 

message: We say the song is from 1963, but then claim that it was a hit in 1960 and 1961.  That's surely not possible, right? john k (talk) 17:46, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The direction to let Aboriginal stockmen "go" is obviously NOT a reference to slavery - or servitude as the article on Mr Harris refers to it as.  Unlike Americans, Australians do not assume any dark skinned people are slaves. Australia- unlike the USA - did not have slaves, and does not now have a fixation with slavery.203.184.41.226 (talk) 07:36, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I seriously always thought (from listening to this song) that Abos were some sort of exotic Australian animal, I never made the connection between "Abos" and aborigines.

message: Can anyone answer way this entry starts by saying he is "disgraced"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SouthstanderRSM (talk • contribs) 14:17, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Mr. Harris was arrested , convicted, and imprisoned for child sex assault. However, with no context on this page, the word "disgraced" is entirely out of place in an article about the song. The Rolf Harris Wikipedia biography page contains the information. I have removed the POV-pushing word "disgraced"  here, but the story and the refs are easily found on the actual Rolf Harris page. catherine yronwode, not logged in 75.101.104.17 (talk) 03:00, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph states the song was re-recorded in the US, then in the 3rd paragraph this recording is stated to have taken place in the UK.  Only one letter and an ocean difference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.140.192.146 (talk) 03:08, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

message: Suggestions that Australia did not have slavery are false. People may not have been bought and sold, but they had their incomes withheld under Aboriginal"Protection" laws. And thus happened into the 1970s. 49.185.63.248 (talk) 07:42, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Racism 

message: I added a section  for other performances, citing a performance by Elvis Costello on Frasier, and on The Muppet Show.  I gave appropriate cites for both.  The entire section was removed. Why? It seems perfectly valid to me.  Anyone mind If I put it back in?
