[Vintage-Audio] Song Title Puzzle

[Gerry Steffens]

We here in the US have a case of lyric cleansing in the 1960s.  Rolf Harris,
a British performer, performed the song Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport which
many thought to be an Australian song.  It was not.  There are three
versions of it.  The original single or shorter version (45) and the more
lengthy and I presume album version have lyrics that go as follows:  "I
waved the thing all over the place, practiced 'till I was black in the
face...".  It was deemed necessary by someone that a separate US version was
necessary which goes as follows:  "I waved the thing all over the place,
practiced 'till I was blue in the face...".

And so it goes.

Cheers,

Gerry
