Rolf Harris (born March 30, 1930) is a singer, composer, artist, and television host. Born in Bassendean, a suburb of Perth, Australia, he moved to England at age 22.

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 hardboard which was played by "wobbling" it back and forth.

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.
