Rolf Harris

Rolf Harris is an Australian-born (but resident in England for many years) singer, composer, artist and television host.

He initially rose to fame in the early 1960s for his novelty song "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, sport", featuring the distinctive sound of the "wobble-board" - a large piece of plywood(?) which was played by "wobbling" it back and forth and sounds vaguely like the efforts of a novice rap DJ.

He is probably best known to younger Britons as the host of the reality television programme Animal Hospital[?], which chronicles the real-life activity of a British animal hospital.
