Does anyone have any idea to the meaning behind this? "Kangaroo done hung the jury..."

I might be wrong, but within the context of the song I thought it was referring to the concept of a Kangaroo Court....

Awesmome, thanks. That actually makes it WAY better. I never heard the term "Kangaroo Court."

I hadn't either until this song/site.

Why does it sound like "Chain" though? Totally has that "ch" sound at the beginning every time. Not a hard 'k' sound like "kill"

Thanks for the insight, I've been searching/wondering this since I first heard the song.

I was starting to think it had something to do with Australia and the doctor with the Australian accent in LK.

Overthinking, overanalyzing.

That's a lot stronger, phonetically speaking.

also, i believe there is a "kangaroo court", or at least a trial involving kangaroos of an animated sort in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" film...and you know maynard is a big Pink Floyd fan.

The song is all about Maynard's burning hatred of Australia.

this song is starting to make much more sence... i get the "snow" and the "kangaroo" now...

i really do start to believe that this song is about many different things, but mostly about american hypocricy...

I have to say that actually made me laugh out loud.

But yes I must agree with the Kangaroo courts idea. I've never heard of them, but it makes a lot of sence once I thought about it. Nicely done!

Exactly. And thats why he chose Ticketmaster to sell the Australian tickets to screw people over.
