Rolf Harris, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport"
Misheard Lyrics:
Let me emus go loose, Lou.
or
They're of no further use, Lou.
Original Lyrics:
Let me Abos go loose, Bruce.
'Abo' is a slang term, now considered derogatory and an ethnic slur, referring to Australian Aborigines. This verse caused the song to be banned in Singapore. 'Emus' (large flightless Australian birds) fits the song better, as the other verses a all about native Australian animals. It also has the advantage of not being racist.
