Answer 1

It's called "The Clapping Song" and is not the same as "Iko Iko", although they may have a similar history as rhyming song.
The earliest chart version is by Shirley Ellis (of "The Name Game" fame.)
The Belle Starrs did a good version in the 1980's.

Answer 2

""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, but has spread so widely that many people take it to be a much older folk song. The song is closely identified as a Mardi Gras song, but it is equally known as a Top 40 hit and a Grateful Dead song.

The story tells of a "spy boy" or lookout for one band of Indians encountering the "flag boy" or guidon carrier for another band. He threatens to set the flag on fire.

The lyrics of the song are based on Louisiana Creole French. The phrase Iko Iko may have been derived from one or more of the languages of Gambia, possibly from the phrase Ago!, meaning "listen!" or "attention!". The line from the chorus, Yock-a-mo feen-o and-dan-day echoes the original title amidst Creole palaver.

The song was popularised by The Dixie Cups in 1965 whose version, arranged and produced by Wardell Quezergue, was included in The Big Easy film soundtrack, and is used extensively in The Skeleton Key. The Dixie Cups version came about by accident. They were in a New York City studio for a recording session when they began an impromptu version of "Iko Iko", accompanied only by drumsticks on a glass ashtray. The tape happened to be running and session producers Leiber and Stoller added bass and drums and released it. [1]

The Dixie Cups knew little about the origin of the song and the original authorship credit went to the members, Barbara Ann Hawkins, her sister Rosa Lee Hawkins, and their cousin Joan Marie Johnson. Later a credit to Crawford was added.

The song is regularly performed by various artists from New Orleans such as the Neville Brothers, Larry Williams, Dr. John, The Radiators and Buckwheat Zydeco, and can often be heard on the streets and in the bars of New Orleans, especially during Mardi Gras.

It has also been covered by Cyndi Lauper, the Grateful Dead, Cowboy Mouth, Warren Zevon, Long John Baldry, Dave Matthews & Friends, Indigo Girls, The Ordinary Boys and Glass Candy among others. Aaron Carter covered the song for The Little Vampire soundtrack, and The Belle Stars' cover was featured in the film Rain Man. A later version by Zap Mama, with rewritten lyrics, was featured in the opening sequences of the film Mission: Impossible II. Eurodance act Captain Jack re-popularized the tune in Germany in 2001."

Answer 3

Shirley Ellis did the original Clapping Song. It was covered in the 80's by the Belle Stars.

Three, six, nine
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

Clap pat, clap your hand, pat it on your partners hand
Right hand
Clap your hand cross it with your left arm
Pat your partners left palm
Clap your hand pat your partners right palm
With your right palm again

Clap slap
Slap your hands, slap your thigh
And sing a little song, go-

My mother told me if I was goody
That she would buy me a rubber dolly
My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier
Now she wont buy me, a rubber dolly

Three, six, nine
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

Clap your hands and prepare to pat

Take your right arm pat your partners right palm
With your right palm

Take your hand back- and clap

Take your right arm
Cross your right arm with your left arm
Pat your partners left palm with your left palm

Take your hand back and clap

Take your right arm , cross your left arm
Pat your partners right palm with your right palm

Now back with the clap

Take the pats of your palms
And slap your thighs
And watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song

My mother told me
If I was goody
A that she would buy me
A rubber dolly

My auntie told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she wont buy me
A rubber dolly

Three, six, nine
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven on a little row boat

Clap pat, clap pat, clap pat, clap slap
Clap pat, clap pat, clap pat, clap slap

Clap pat, clap pat, clap pat, slap slap

Clap pat, clap pat, clap pat, slap slap
