My boomerang won't come back,

I've waved the thing all over the place,

Practised till I was black in the face,

[james60222]

Video...not all that funny.Song....plain stupid!

[scottwin7]

Song's a bit racist, but was recorded well before Aboriginals were made citizens. I remember dancing around to this song like a maniac...I would have been about 5 yo.

[rozzabuc]

45 people got the flying doctor with their boomerang

[jorge540111]

I ´d like to have one or more boomerang to make up a club in my home town. I had the chance to borrow one and throw it. That was really exciting!

[bvdrangs]

@jorge540111 where are you located, maybe I can help.

[IndisputableAttitude]

The most famous Abo, David Gulpilil got busted for busting his wife's arm in a drunken rage. Isn't that just like an Abo?

[MrElcato]

mucking refarkable

[LetteAshley]

[ViolentShadow13]

@LetteAshley and they hate you

[MrVicist]

@LetteAshley Up yours.

[AustralianWolf11]

[AustralianWolf11]

[freezeman32]

And I want 3:43 seconds back...

[WarblesOnALot]

@Aussiebabe63 G'day... Yairs, well, one may see a few funny sides to this one. An aspect is that y'r clip links to one of mine, that y'll find by searching, 'boomerang aerophysics'..! Another, is that most contemporary Boomerang throwers & carvers don't understand the interplay of forces, & effects, involved..! Being a bona-fide Mad- Scientist, & also a retired Low-Speed Aerodynamics-Consultant... It appeared to be The Fool On The Hill's duty. Ciao !

[IVatworky]

time well spent

keep on creating things for the YOUniverse.

We like it a lot

[fubar50cat]

@LaaaMaZ

[LaaaMaZ]

@fubar50cat Hehe well will put it in the OIdies map :P This song reminds me of Lonnie Donegan and Larry Verne = )

[RealMihaiQC]

The Boomerage - A frisbee for people with no friends.

[edgarflores10]

What in the world does this mean?!

[CJAproductionsINC]

The kangaroo sounds and laughs like Popeye XD

[kartoffelkrieger26]

[Messier83]

This is my favorite rendition of the Australian national anthem =)

[sooperpickelz]

[donaz01]

[TheBearoness1]

A classic Aussie song!

[bobsleaf]

When the flying doctor gets hit by the boomerang, my oldest brother used to swing me round and throw me on the sofa.

Reminds me of being about 4 years old. Brilliant bit of nostalgia. xx

[reic0002]

i remember another one of chalie drake called 'she;s my girl'. anyone know where i can find it?

[Thirdshiftzombie]

Love Aussie Humor

[yukonnahanni]

what a great song , for all to enjoy !! And God Bless all the Indiginus Peoples of all Lands ~~

[MTMabowels]

If splatboy38 thinks this song was sung by Bill Oddie of The Goodies then he is a bill oddie fool!

[MTMabowels]

Excellent. I remember this from when I was a kid back in the 60's . It was Charley Drake, not Rolf Harris who sang it. Harris sang 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport'

The latter gave rise to the term 'Harrisment' I believe.

[onegunnslinger]

while atributred to rolph harris this was an old bharlie harris tune

[megasslim]

thanks

[onegunnslinger]

loving this nostalgic trip.. thank you

[VAMPIREBIRDIE]

The song is actually very old and very British in a silly sort of way. It harks back to the time the British had a stronger sense of empire. visuals are good.

[cheekyjess18]

i love this song it reminds me of the old days when my grandma was alive. i love u n miss u grandma. xoxo

[MrMaxd200]

cool

[deadpool9876]

[reel2reelbill]

[reel2reelbill]

adding to my fav. right now !!!!

[SteveW2003]

Remember this from years ago. Had forgotten about it. It was a time of no political correctness. And it was wonderful. Odd crappy song that should be appreciated for what it is ... humour.

[hiimkian]

O_O Weird song

Fail.

[InsaneAsJoker]

why is it racist or offensive just because its a light hearted joke involving blacks. its funny and silly. why is popeye a kangeroo

[proddy3]

This is helpful i have got to mime this song in a thing called gangshow

[ehead2222]

what do ya call aboomerang that dont come back ? a stick !!!

[tristochoper9004]

@ehead2222 i think he did not throw it right XD

[raystopher]

@ehead2222 I was ging to say that !

[mrsamwise]

pervert

[supergooddeal]

I like it

[poweron09]

Reminds me of my late great dad. He was always singing this when he was in a good mood. Love it.

[AllSingingAllDancing]

@poweron09 That's a fun memory for you. I hope you smile everytime you hear this song!

[catey62]

Well done aussie babe...used to hear this song when I was younger....forgot all about it...I dont think its racist at all...and I love some of the pics you've put to the music...make's me glad to be an aussie too!...

[TheEndzit]

my boomerang wont come back well why dont you try throwing it lol this is funny as hell

[listojay]

my bomerang wont come back i tink its fake!!!! how to know if a boomerang is fake or not?

[StephyStephy11]

I Love This song it's funny

[kailorien]

This song was a big hit for me and my brothers when I was a kid (going back over 20 years!) We used to listen to it on one of my grandma's records.

I still find it amusing, but somewhat insulting at the same time. They really were having a dig at the Aboriginal culture, weren't they?

[Sherrin414]

Ripper of a song, a real bewdy cobber!! In english that means: its a classic, mate!! ;-) -Magz

[fubarcat50]

so my question is-- what brand of beer is the kangaroo drinking? Good fun vid, nice pics

[Aussiebabe63]

Maybe a Fosters...Lol.

[Jourell1]

More likely a Tooheys. Despite its image, Fosters actually isn't drank much down under. It's made for export

[straightballer30]

@Aussiebabe63 fosters isn't real Australian beer!

[blueeyesseto]

@Aussiebabe63 na probable a VB no human will drink it so they sell em to the roo's

[blueeyesseto]

@Aussiebabe63 no he said beer so it would be a midstrength

[develfier]

@fubarcat50 It's Duff Beer.

[Esskar11]

@fubarcat50 strongbow

[OrpheusIsThe1]

@fubarcat50 Probably Fosters LOL

[flyinportopotty]

kickajewstew lol

[Aussiebabe63]

Its kinkajou stew.

[PhillyCloud123]

@Aussiebabe63 kinkijou stew

[NamishuHatake]

its a stick! :( XD

[legoslie]

most catchy song of the centuries....

[miket1m]

A boomerang that doesn't come back is called a stick.

[chumairas124]

Hahahaha ! that's hilarrious .... but it's also right !

[turbo1964]

This did hit the US top 40 and exposed many of us to this mantra for life. I don't know if that's a good thing. it just is. xo

[wutzernutzer]

"My Boomerang Won't Come Back" peaked on the charts March 17, 1962

Hit #21

[turbo1964]

Thanks Wutznernuzer, was that on the Billboard 100 in the U.S.?

[wutzernutzer]

Not sure. I got the info from a One Hit wonders page on Wikipedia. I wasn't around when the song was released.

[rosanoisapimp]

mine wont either

[FutbolFootball00]

lol

[BlossomFlowerGirl]

Rolf Harris never recorded 'My boomerang won't come back.' He had a go at Drake over the racism in the song.

[scificrawler]

0:24 they are black peoaple trying to be white like michael jackson. lol

[Forfica]

Anyone else remember this being on a record called 'SMILE' ?

[MrNutwood]

Enjoyed! Are some of the images from Len Beadell? Sure I've seen that witch doctor somewhere before!

[raymankisser]

last i heard it was about 10 years ago

[MrTorrealta]

Fantastic!!!. I used to play this particular version when I was a kid on the 70s in Spain. They gave the single free for buying some cheese triangles.

[MissJanifa]

I heard a different version of this song on a CD of songs for kids when I was very little, does anyone know who sang that version or where I could find it?

[Aussiebabe63]

No, it was sung by Charlie Drake, Rolf Harris did Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport, Jake The Peg, Two Little Boys and many others.

[agpleez]

As far as I know, this was sung by Rolf Harris? Or did both of them sing it?

[chewbuggars]

is that their national anthem?

[Aussiebabe63]

No, the national anthem for Australia is Advance Australia Fair..

[Cheekytriangle]

@Aussiebabe63 it should be tho :/

[Wklogger]

great job

[AllRequired]

For some strange reason I wound up equating this song with, of all people, CHUCK BERRY!!! No, I am not making this up.

[olliek222]

weird!! haha

[yoyogamer1]

LOL my mum sings this all teh time, I like Camp Grenada aswel xD

[derschatten82]

its stupid, its senseless, its very old and almost forgotten..

i like it ^^

[4418geoffg]

I bought this 45 record with my spends about 1962 . My tastes of changed since then-thank God!!!

[Aussiebabe63]

Well, they say with age your tastes change and you must be older than dirt if you bought a 45 record they now sell cd's...Lol.

[tanjalein89]

Oh shut up! He's not really old! And what's so bad at buying 45 records, he??

[splatboy38]

Is charlie drake Bill oddie?

[Aussiebabe63]

No Charlie Drake is not Bill Oddie from The Goodies, I also loved watching The Goodies.

[cadorilopytecus]

Seu video ficou muito legal "Aussiebabe63". Show de bola!

(Very cool)

Abraço

0:58 is so cute
