As the 60’s drew to a close, a highly unusual song was this week’s UK #1 record. It was from 1902, written by two Yanks about two boys who grew up to become soldiers, ostensibly during the Civil War. It was popularized by an Aussie, Rolf Harris, who had a surprise 1963 US hit with “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport” produced by George Martin. Harris was convicted in 2014 of taking indecent sexual liberties with teenage girls.
