Jeff Buckley - Kanga Roo Lyrics
When i first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide
Anything
I saw you
Saw you staring out in space
When i next saw you
You were at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh, so flirty
I came against them
Didn't say excuse
Knew what i was doing
As we were leaving
As we were making
What we were making
Saint John
You were a cool jerk
Oh, i want you
Like a kangaroo

Jeff Buckley Kanga Roo Comments
OMFG. This is absolutely lovely.
When I listen to this, I feel like Salieri listening to Mozarts originals for the first time
Amazing Performance!
Gosh I wish this video had the beginning that the dvd has!
what year is this??
thx
tattoofthesun 1995
1994 and I was a London journalist who had the chance to interview this unknown singer launching his first album. I couldn't be bothered and didn't bother playing the CD. I didn't play it till 2002 and then realised what a fool I was. Regrets? I've had a few.
Tricia Blades he asked me out twice and I said no.. what a fool I was..
I used to do the kanga too alongside this version. I can't do it as long now. I love you Jeff for this version.
What a great big star song and version from Jeff
7:30 that energy when the band kicks in is absolutely mind blowing

I want you just
Like a kanga roo
Jeff hops like a kanga rooo
Thank you jeff ❤️
Better than Big Star. Fuck!
Well, that escalated quickly...
I sing this to my cat fed him
Kangaroo meat and he started hopping, 22 years and he This song still haunts me his bull shit death it's just bull shit
JEFF BUCKELY LOL HAHAHAHAHA
Hahahahaha awesome again
Awesome
💖ヽ🦋♡`♪
💞🦋ヽ♡`♪ `、 💕 `、
in the new jeff buckley book that dave lory wrote, it talks about how columbia records asked him to stop playing this live because they would seriously go one for 20+ minutes. jeff said fuck em and kept playing it. RIP!
I dedicate this great song to my beautiful cat. We fed him kangaroo meat once and since then he started hopping like a kangaroo. Oh its now 22 years since this bullshit happened still can't believe he went in for a swim and dead. It's just not real
JB doing covers is almost better than his originals.
Jeff's version of Kanga Roo is the best imo. I love the Big Star original, which is just this weird, cool little song. This is simply epic.
simple Beautiful...i mean, angel`s should sing like this....in my point of view,because i Have one, jeff his the male equivlent to Bjork!nothing less!
pretentious version right?
Loving the feedback solo!
05:02 Deep south church music, ...with a little shoutin'
We know that Jeff is a fucking genius, but his band just take it to a different level. They were made for each other.
i miss you...
First song off this mortal coil's "It'll End In Tears" album -- edit holy weird that was wild -2nd edit: this is a cover just in case - and a reminder how much he reinvented songs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WByGMjdejD4
I love Big Star
That was cool. They've really got to watch him as they're not always sure what he'll do; always changing things up on the fly, ha.
I love the way they all watch him "what's he gonna do next?"
Man, this Version is haunting xD I also like it at a lot better than the studio Version, I think everything is just way more exciting, on point and in your face :D imagine a world were Jeff and Led Zeppelin would have made some stuff together...
there’s always a little hint of eastern influences in his music it’s so lovely❤️
Lyrics:
Kangaroo, kangaroo - boing boing
Can I stay and talk with you? Boing boing.
He said, ‘I’d love to stay but must be on my way,
But you can be sure that I’ll be back some day.’
Boing boing boing boing boing boing boing.
Koala Bear, Koala Bear – scpt, scpt, scpt, scpt
Can you hear me way up there? scpt, scpt, scpt, scpt.
Kookaburra, Kookaburra – ha, ha, ha, ha
Laugh today, laugh tomorrow – ha, ha, ha, ha.
Sneaky Snake, Sneaky Snake – ss, ss, ss, ss
Talk to me for goodness sake! – ss, ss, ss, ss.
Mother Hen, Mother Hen – cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck,
Consider me as your friend - cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck.
Fuck! This is a BIG STAR song...
0:14 - 0:24 feels like heaven.
great-rock
Beauty filmage.
I never could get into his melodramatic approach.
Unbelievable
Does anyone else get extremely emotional when they hear 0:15 to 0:25? I cry every time I listen to it!
i do but from the first song i heard it from have you heard it? Jeff's version is so wild and even scary? idk this song was my 15 yr old record player morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WByGMjdejD4
I hadn't heard that version before, thank you!
This and Lilac Wine
@Ashok Singh and Calling You and All Flowers in Time and Back in NYC and the og Last Goodbye
All the time friend
Good cover, but I like Big Star's version better.
Recently fell in love with Jeff Buckley and even though he passed away before I was born I really, really miss him. I would've killed to have seen this live!
A most incredibly creative and indulgent orgasmic journey performed by that sweet thing!!!!
He makes that song his own. Interesting that JB ended up living a couple blocks from Ardent Studios in Memphis where Alex Chilton recorded it in the mid 70s
Jeff, I MISS YOU !!!
nasıl hayran olunmaz
ah i wish he was still alive so that I can see him play!! I was only 1 at this time. :/
Oui... il y a une filiation angélique, ainsi que pour Nick Drake...
OH MY GOSH, this is awesome!
7:16 🤘🏼
What the fuck did I just experience?
i know man
uck, interrupted by some incredibly shrill Katy Perry ear-cancer
Thanks Jeff, you ALWAYS make me feel better . You're my only companion , and somehow when I see you I just feel that everything will be fine. See you on the other side angel !
Lala Meme well the vast majority of people on the internet tell me to kill myself so it was a fair guess
+Richard Johnson yea well good point, I have the same problem. gotta love this world
Nobody on the internet has ever told you life is worth living? Well here's one.
Whats that on your arm?
You'll only see him if your a believer in Jesus Christ. I don't think Jeff is in heaven. I love the guy. But the only way to heaven is to accept the free gift of eternal life is the blood shed Jesus Christ
I Love him
He makes love whit his guitar
Jeff plays guitar like nobody and sings like an angel
...magic...
The fact that the camera never settles on Johnson for more than a half a second during the DRUM solo has seriously pissed me off.
it's all about Jeff, musicians are only here to serve his genius ! They all stare at him all the time waiting for his commands too ^^
minibixx they still deserve some recognition, especially in their solo
@Geofanny Yohanes they are all making noise together - it's not a drum solo. Although showing Matt a little more would have been nice.
i love the way he plays the guitaaar
Very special
damn this man, his voice makes me feel like i'm knocking on the door of heaven R.I.P Angel, miss you ...
Michael deserves an award for that badass looping
bring him back
I discovered him yesterday and I'm crying.
Jeff Buckley's songs are so amazingly beautiful. And he seems to have been such a beautiful human being... If he made love as he played guitar and sang he must have been a great lover too :p
That '' :p " in last made my day. XD
It's a This Mortal Coil cover.
Annette Feeney It's a Big Star cover
More or less an Alex Chilton solo masterpiece...than a Big Star composition...
This Mortal Coil also covered this song. It was originally by a 1970s band called Big Star. It was written by Alex Chilton.
They should've left the prelude (a version of Vancouver without any singing).
The video they have is half of this song. If you watch the concert in its entirety then you'd know he plays Vancouver that leads into Kangaroo. It's like 11 minutes long and it's, in my opinion(of course), the better way to listen to them. Meaning there shouldn't be a cut, only a long video with both songs
@Doctor Towelie I know but, it's too big, to be a prelude, so they are separated
Sorry, but I have to disagree
Do you have a link or an idea of the search terms that would provide the video? I don't think I've seen it. Thank you.
I agree. I can tell you've watched this entire show many times like I have. Vancouver into Kangaroo is a good idea for a video
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damn, this must be the closer sound that angels play in melancholic heaven.
genius!
@Alexis Call Cheers!
+Elle Aime Cheers!
I salute you, sir!
Seems youre band is not hip unless you make a Big Star cover.
There was no such thing as hip when Jeff Buckley was alive. Thank goodness!
hahahaha yea those were the days
