Elvis Costello sings Rolf`s `Tie me Kangaroo down sport` on Frasier

[@deematulip3604]

The way he darts out the door is priceless.

[@TheoHockeyton]

Frasier and Niles will always make me laugh, as long as I live !

[@tonycavanagh1929]

Why cant they do comedies like this. Niles dancing, tears to my eyes.

[@lilymaria5126]

tonycavanagh1929 omg 😆 same here

[@gordiandaly3999]

😂😂😂😂

[@feefingirl]

I still binge this show.

[@buggyboogle9]

Excellent build up to Niles getting into it. Those facial expressions and the great little dance, so funny - egg solo!

[@saga4646]

If I am ever in a bad mood I just have to watch Niles in any episode. He was genius.

[@amilueur]

He was a gift stolen too soon by his love of theater. Like Greg from Crazy Ex Girlfriend.

[@notsureiL]

Best celebrity guest star lol Niles with his egg solo. He really got into mood for a while until Frasier showed up and he had to flee lol

[@catherinefitzpatrick9144]

😲, I remember hearing 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down' on tv (The Ed Sullivan Show?) as a small child; this is the next time I've heard it...from Elvis Costello, no less!!! Loved it. Thank you.

[@AJ_Evo]

Growing up in Australia I had to sing this song non stop during my first few years at school 😭

[@bored1ca]

How the hell did I not know of this? Talk about me living under a rock! LOL!!

Just wAtched this again on tv.....love him!

EGG SOLO!!

[@creasemason6347]

Love Niles... He's just so funny!!!

[@kendallrivers1119]

LMAO! What is it about the siblings on these amazing sitcoms like Robert from Everybody Loves Raymond, Niles, and Jackie from Roseanne that makes them such iconic breakout characters? Oh, yeah they casted BRILLIANT actors in those roles. It's no wonder all three of those characters have earned their actors numerous emmys and nominations

[@amilueur]

Remember when they used to cast from Broadway? Now they're using Patrick Warburton. Love the guy, but he went to school to be a marine biologist. If he wasn't so handsome and baritone, he'd have no place in show business!

[@drewp1974]

I almost pissed my pants the first time I saw this scene. EC was great in this

[@calebrush3833]

Gotta love Niles.

[@Mrmoviefan123]

Fun fact: Elvis Costello's real name is Declan McManus. In this episode, John Hannah plays a character named Avery McManus. Coincidence?

[@EditorOfSL]

Yep.

[@rattyeely]

I love how they had him break a string as a comedic contrivance, since that's something he often does in real life

[@joshdamage]

Just watched this episode on peacock. Hilarious!!

[@laurenhunt8409]

Look at Niles dancing.

Elvis Costello on Frasier He starts the song having forced Niles to participate by shaking the egg in rhythm Niles ( Cuts him off) " Escuse me. I'm sorry but are you going to stick with that 4-4 tempo the whole song?" Elvis " Yeah yeah" ( Starts playing) Niles ( Cuts him off again) so that would be sort of an Andante kind of tempo ? Elvis ( Gets upset) JUST SHAKE IT OKAY? ( Plays again) 🎶🎶🎶 Tie me kangaroo down sport tie me kangaroo down Tie me kangaroo down sport tie me kangaroo down Watch me wallabys feed mate. Watch me Wallabys Feed It's a dangerous breed mate so watch me Wallabys feed ALL TOGETHER NOW ( The whole café sings along while Niles starts to take a liking to the song) Elvis " EGG SOLO" Niles 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃 Frasier " NILES" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Didn't jarvis cocker do a version of this?

Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport is declared a public domain when copyright was annulled in the wake of Rolf's death long after his indictment.

I unironically enjoy Elvis Costello singing Tie Me Kangaroo Down in a fake accent

[@BlueSoulJim]

They never knew Rolf was a creep

[@AlexAcostaArt]

Nobody knew at the time.

Odd, and now something you'd imagine anyone famous would distance themselves from given Rolf Harris' convictions for sexual assault.

[@notsureiL]

I don't think Elvis Costello could foresee the future if it wasn't common knowledge back in 2002-2003. Jimmy Saville had rumors surrounding him before the story broke out. Not even Louis Theroux who made a documentary about and with Savile knew about him being a sexual predator. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/oct/02/louis-theroux-savile-review-awkward-creepy-uncomfortable-extraordinary

Elvis Costello was my favorite artist in high school. His first five albums are incredible. It is painful to listen to this music. Why have a genius on your show and have him play that?

[@kkelleybass]

Man, Elvis C is really not a very good singer at all! He just kind of lucked into his niche, and made it. If he were unknown, and auditioning as a singer for a bar band, he would not get the gig!

[@ThreadBomb]

I don't think you should judge him as a performer just by this comedy character he's playing.

[@Slopmaster]

Neither is Bob Dylan and yet he still made it.

Elvis is one of the greatest singer-songwriters of our time

[@rattyeely]

It's easy to judge his singing from one or two apprentices (like here he's singing bad on purpose as a joke), but if you listen to more of his stuff he actually has an insane vocal range and strong vibrato. Listen any of his singing on the Juliet Letters.
