Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport
The popular 1957 Australian song talks about the emancipation of Aboriginal Australians. In the song, black people were referred to as “Abos”, a derogatory term used to demean them. The original lyrics are:
Let me Abo go loose, Lou
Let me Abo go loose:
He’s of no further use, Lou
So let me Abo go loose.
