Lots of versions out there of the song I am sharing today. The original was published by The Dixie Cups in 1965. It was part of movie soundtracks like Hangover and Rain Man (of which the version I picked comes from). Which version ever, it has always been a song that made me tapping my feet. Enjoy and have a great Friday!
Iko Iko – The Belle Stars
Sittin’ by the fire
My grandma told your grandma
I’m gonna set your flag on fire
Talk-in’ ’bout
Hey now
Hey now
Iko, iko, un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne
Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko, iko, un-day
I bet-cha five dollars he’ll kill you dead
Jock-a-mo fee na-ne
Talk-in’ ’bout
Hey now
Hey now
Iko, iko, un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne
See that guy all dressed in green
Iko, iko, un-day
He’s not a man he’s a lovin’ machine
Jock-a-mo fee na-ne
Talk-in’ ’bout
Hey now
Hey now
Iko, iko, un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne

My flag boy and your flag boy were
Sittin’ by the fire
My flag boy told your flag boy
I’m gonna set your flag on fire
Talk-in’ ’bout
Hey now
Hey now
Iko, iko, un day
Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne
Jock-a-mo fee-na-ne

Wow!
I heard this track back in the early 90’s actually, when local TV channel aired movie K-9, starring Jim Belushi. This track appeared just before the credits rolls up.
