  • I am a huge Jeff Buckley fan and he was known to close his shows jamming on Kangaroo...which is why I cam here to find the original. What an awesome song! I think Jeff did them justice in his cover of kangaroo. 

  • I'm doing a cool jerk now

  • sounds like bittersweet melodies from Feists new album (i know i know... Big Star were puttin out records when Feist was a baby)

  • @Petraeko Amen. This sounds like it's directly off Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. That album was praised as "revolutionary" and "new" in 2000, and this song was released more than 20 years before YHF. Just another reason why Big Star has been snubbed time and time again.

  • Every time anyone tries 'perfecting' a recording they should remember songs such as this one exists. just beautiful

  • WOW!!!!

  • This is the song that saved rock and roll.

    Indubitably.

  • fantastic album

    The songs reminds me of The Beatles - Long Long Long and the album of Lou Reed's Berlin album

  • This going into "Thank You Friends" is the aural equivalent of page 305 of American Psycho. Yes, go look it up yourself. I dare you.

  • @s1ygirl Yes, Buckley's cover is awesome. He was incredible.

  • this is just wonderful. also the cover by this mortal coil is great

  • This song is the perfect soundtrack to a bad mood
