    This song is about a collision between 2 tribes of Mardi Gras Indians. The song was called Jak a Mo and was first released in 1953 by Sugar Boy and the cane cutters. It didn't even make the charts. It was redone by The Dixie Cups ( all girl band ) and became an international hit in 1967. It was done again by The bell Stars that your watching.

    This is my favorite version of "Iko". It's a standard, and there are a million ways to do any standard; but in my opinion, this one both gets the structure right, _and_ has the most finely tuned syncopation. (also, dat sliiiide bass)

    This song has two memories for me. First, it's the song used in the opening title sequence of the movie "Rain Man."However, in late May 1989 I was hired to be the overnight announcer/engineer at 107.1 WKPL-FM in Platteville, Wis. At the time the station played a Top 40 format and used reel-to-reel tape automation. When I walked into the station late on a Friday night to start my training, this song was playing on air. What a fun and sometimes challenging 18-month stint I would have at WKPL and it's sister station 1590 WTOQ-AM. I do miss those days working in radio.BTW: I was a journalism/technical communications student at UW-Platteville at the time.

And later in the evening the sky opened up and it rained like I've never seen b4 it was a monsoon , and most welcome !! And the Dead suddenly broke out into this tune while playing under a tarp , it was the very best moment I ever had at a Dead concert. 50,000+ people singing along with this song while getting destroyed by the rain , something I'll NEVER forget.

When I found out a 12" single had been released, I got ahold of one only to find out that they had re-mixed it for the 12" (which was not uncommon) and added vocals which for me totally ruined it.

    It was recorded in 1982. The group had broken up by the time it was put on the Rain Man soundtrack. The singer in the video is Jennie Matthias (aka Jennie McKeown), who is the singer on the record, but nobody else from the band appeared in the video because the band didn’t exist anymore.

    I was a 12 year-old kid living in Hawaii when this song came out. It was HUGELY popular there, because the “locals” (a.k.a. Asian people trying to act like they’re Hawaiian) thought that the song was made by Hawaiians and the lyrics were Hawaiian. All the kids my age knew the lyrics, word for word. It’s quite funny to me looking back, realizing that the song has absolutely nothing to do with Hawaii.

    that sweet, sweet 'ummm' @ 0:40 !
    taking into consideration the traditional second line horn blast on beat four (the first song that comes to mind as a perfect example is 'Roll With Me, Knock With Me' by Lil Rascals Brass Band) this may be one of the subtlest respects anyone has every paid to the City of New Orleans and its immensely rich cultural heritage.
    Good job!

    The song was released by Belle Stars in 1982, 6 years before Rain Man. I used to bop to this song at a local pub when I was 16 when it came out (lots of underage kids at that pub, wouldn't see that nowadays!), and was surprised to hear it used in the movie 6 years later.

    The Belle Stars cover is by FAR the best version. I've listened to the others from other artists before and after and there's no comparison. Shows that sometimes covers and remixes are better than the original
