yeah it can be confusing because Manu Chao has at least two other songs that sound like this one, one of them is "homens" and the other I don't remember its name
I've been looking for this song for good 4 years. For some reason I coupd not find it anywhere at all. I checked every radio history playlist I could find, I looked at every playlist of famous songs I could find, yet no luck. Untill I went to my friends birthday party and absolutelly randomly one of his friends decided to ocnnect their playlist to main speakers and played this song, finally bringimg me to peace. Yes. I truly thought I will never hear this again. I can die in peace now
Most excellent dude! I’ve had similar experiences with other songs, but I got reacquainted with Bongo Bong a few years ago watching a band called The Big Push playing it live on a rooftop - look for “The Big Push - Bongo Bong (Manu Chao Cover) - 🍷 🎸 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

Descubrí esta canción en París, cuando iba a hacer un curso de instructores de Aikido Yoshinkan. Me ha marcado para siempre. Los tonos, los acordes, el ritmo... es perfecto. Te llega al alma.

Bethany Hamilton's brother showed me this song when we visited their family in Hawaii. This brings me back. That was such an epic trip. I want this song played at my funeral!
Esta canción es simplemente una obra maestra, y aunque pasen los años y se haga cada vez menos escuchada, yo nunca abandonaré estas letras. Representan mucho para mí, me recuerdan a mi juventud y todas las aventuras que se vivían en aquella época. Gracias Manu por volvernos a visitar. Saludos desde Concepción, Chile.

I have no idea how to i can explain this everytime I hear this I just wanna dance there's just this thing where I listen to the song I get so calm and relaxed and I think about good old days
I SEARCHED FUCKING EIGHT YEARS FOR THIS SONG AND TODAY I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! NOW I CAN DIE HAPPY
But i hope you still alive ;)
I was at the Cincinnati Zoo and heard this song playing in the gift shop. I didnt leave until someone told me the name of this song! :)

Me too, finally i used shazam with the radio
A true masterpiece of musical talent
This cant get more correct
What makes you feel that?
That one note will always bring so much memories to so many people..
Yes. It's funny how music works.

Woooooooow, what a story,have you tried youtube?..
@@nikolozka1 Well, duh? But when you don't know the name of the author and the song, youtube haven't helped that much

KING OF THE BONGO
what bongo? not my bongo, I AM THE KING OF MY BONGO
This song is just perfect ✨👌🏻
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo
Every monkey like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo Bong
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
So I play my Boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm banging all my boogie
I'm the
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo Bong)
Nobody likes to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown
Hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo Bong)
Hear me when I come
They said that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They said there is no place
For little monkey in this town
Nobody liked to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie
I'm the
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo Bong)
Hear me when I come
Banging on my bongo
All that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
In my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown
Hanging loose in a big town
I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo Bong
King of the Bongo bong)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo Bong)
Hear me when I come
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo
Every monkey like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo Bong
Hear me when I come
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come
Thanks for posting the lyrics. It sounds like he's saying "hit me when I come."
Living in Italia... damn
You're so awesome
my dad used to play this song when i was a kid and I just rediscovered it 15 years later. What a feeling
"im a king without a crown."

Almost 20 years.... and still loving this song..
Viva Manu Chao! Um artista repleto de canções encantadores e que transmuta em felicidade qualquer energia desprovida de bondade.

The song made me wake up just to find out what the name was and now I'm listening to it again. It's a very good song.
Thank you for all the memories ❤

My wife worked with some Colombian girls that introduced her to Manu Chao's music. Absolutely love this.
Je me disais, si Manu savait que grâce à lui, ce soir je suis mieux dans ma solitude.❤

2024 y seguimos acá #Manu💜🇦🇷
I'm love the Bong Bong!!!
Me too and i also like Clandestino, El Viento and The Monkey
Yo it’s perfectly telling that so many comments are like “I’m so happy I finally found this” like Manu Chao wrote kinda a timeless song
Please don't say this, human traffic SHOULD end
Honestly, this grew on me. I used to hate it but I'm chill now so I like it 😂.
Respeito total a mano chao
Gracias Manu por tu música, me levantas el ánimo
Depuis le senegal 🇸🇳 ❤
Sus canciones son unas joyas, y me siento afortunada de seguir escuchándolo con el mismo gusto de la primera vez, en este pleno año 2020!
Yo me siento afortunada de a verlo conocido es el dios manu 😎
@@fernandasaavedra3158 ya quisieras aberlo conocido🤑🤑🤑😎😎😎😎🥺🥺🥺🙃🙃😉😉😉

Manu Chao is life!
Переносит в детство, деревня, лето, магнитофон. Привет из Москвы❤

Estoy perdidamente enamorada de esta canción y el álbum en general.

Amo como logra conectar a tantos paises con miles de diferencias culturales entre ellos solo con música que alimenta al alma y nos da esperanza de un mejor mañana.

Still incredibly cool in 2025. And everyone knows which song this should ideally segue into. 💯
Melhor cantor possível ❤
This is a boy😒
Great song, sounds from the past.
