“Tie me kangaroo down, sport”

I remember that tune. I must have been 8 or 9 at the time. Good memories.

In August, 1963, we were paddling kayaks down the Colorado River between Blythe, Calif. and Imperial Oasis, Ariz. When we got to Martinez Lake, Ariz., we found a cafe with a juke box. The song everyone wanted to hear was Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport.

Another song that I really liked at the time was Blowin' in the Wind by Peter, Paul & Mary. I didn't know then that it was a Communist anthem.

I remember it also but haven't heard it on any oldies channels.

Another popular song from 1966-67 was FARMER JOHN I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.
She's the one with the champagne eyes.
I love the way she looks, the way she walks, and the way she talks,
The way she wiggles when she walks...”
