Funny how some people stupidly assume that the original music is a rip off of the recent crappy version they've heard in some dumb movie that came out not too long ago. I've heard this song being played in some commercial I think like 12 years ago or something.
One time I thought the lyrics were "My fat boy and your fat boy sittin' by the fire... my fat boy says to your fat boy, "I'm gonna light your ass on fire" XD
@alexaberryz105 It is a Mardi-gras Indian chant. Each tribe sings and dances putting on a colorful display for the spectators. Among their ranks is the Flag Boy who carries a banner identifying his tribe. These 'Indian Tribes' (this is a Negro tradition) have a fierce rivalry with each other and stage elaborate dance-offs accompanied by taunts. "My Flag Boy and your Flag Boy were sitting by the fire. My Flag Boy says to your Flag Boy I'm gonna set your flag on fire."
"Iko Iko" is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two "tribes" of Mardi Gras Indians. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo", was written in 1953 by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford in New Orleans. The story tells of a "spy boy" or "spy dog" (i.e. a lookout for one band of Indians) encountering the "flag boy" or guidon carrier for another band. He threatens to set the flag on fire.
For anyone confused, This song came out in the late 80's ( hence the clothing, low video quality, fake sax number, and the fact that it's for the "Rain man" soundtrack which came out in 1988) While Captain jack's version came out more recently ( hence the better video quality, music, and that it was used in "The Hangover soundtrack which came out in 2009)
@DodecahedronHead the hangover used the song because this song was in rain man which was about an autistic person who was used to count cards. it was an homage to rain man by todd phillips. do your research nukkaa
i just heard this song on the fresh prince of bel air
