Answer 1

"Iko Iko" (sometimes titled "Aiko Aiko") is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two "tribes" of Mardi Gras Indians. The lyrics are derived from Indian chants and popular catchphrases. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo", was written in 1954 by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford in New Orleans.

Answer 2

The song is entitled Iko Iko. The lyrics are as follows:

My grandma and your grandma
Sittin' by the fire
My grandma said to your grandma
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

Chorus
Talkin' bout...
Hey now! Hey now!
Iko, Iko, un ay
Jockamo feeno ai nay'
Jockamo fee na ay'

Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko, Iko, un ay
Betcha five dollars he'll kill ya dead
Jockamo fee na ay'

Chorus

My flag boy and your flag boy
Sittin' by the fire
My flag boy said to your flag boy
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

Chorus

Jockamo fee na ay'
Iko!

Chorus

See that guy all dressed in green
Iko, Iko, un ay
He's not a man, he's a lovin' machine
Jockamo fee na ay'

[Fade to end]

It's origin: When there was a pause in one of their recording sessions, the girls (Dixie Cups) began a chanting song that they had heard and learned from their mother, Barbara, called Iko Iko. It was a call-and-respond type of chant of a Mardi Gras Indian tribe, back in New Orleans. The Indian chant was first recorded in the mid-Forties.

"We were just clowning around with it during a session using drumsticks on ashtrays. We didn't realize the Jerry and Mike had the tapes running " Barbara Hawkins-Dixie Cups

It was later overdubbed a bass and percussion, and releaseded. Again, the chant was sung with some percussion in the background, on ashtrays, and when they recorded it, it became their final top forty record, in the Spring of 1965. Iko Iko was covered by a British female band called the Belle Stars in the 80's, and when this version was used in the movie Rain Man it made a return to the top forty in 1989.

Ever since the Dixie Cups' run on the charts with the song, anyone and everyone that had access to a microphone has taken a crack at the remake. However the original still holds the title, "Best Sung".
