Subject: RE: Tie Me Kangaroo Down'let Abos go'explain
We still do "The Kangaroo Song" in the band I've been in for the last 12 years. Our bass player sings it and had for the eleven years previous to my joining The Flyin' Column. He always sang "Let my elbows go loose Lew, let my Elbows go loose." When I corrected him I was expecting to hear some politically correct reason for not saying "Aboes". Fact is he thought they were saying "Aboes" but he was clueless as to what Aboes were so he thought he was miss hearing the word.

Well.... he is a bass player after all..
