I always thought a black woman was singing this song. But it's an androgynous white guy who has great vocal range

easytears, I just agree with you in every single word. I feel exactly the same. I didn't know the name of the singer though.

Its not about cute animals, its not about babies. In a way it is about wanting to come closer,, kangaroo = cocaine!!! "Oh I want you.. like a kangaroo."

i take it to mean he longs to be close to the person... seeing a kangarro and it's baby in the pouch i get the feeling of closeness.. how close the kangaroo is to each other and that closeness is what he longs for if it be just to hold someone close and tight or sexual or whatever just a deep closeness.then again it's nearly impossible to decode the true meaning of songs.

Don't know what it's about & knowing may possibly spoil it.

Well personally I have always thought the "Oh I want you like a Kangaroo" line meant that, I want to carry you around my abdomenal region, like in a pouch, so I can keep you all the time, because I love you that much.Either that, or, some strange obsession with Australians. :)Damn Cinder you look so young there! Guess I never seen it before, heh.
