OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

[WereWolfDan1991]

I first heard this song on an old cassette that my family has!

[jihuigou]

first song i bought

[CarrotBench]

She has a new album out called 'Deeper into Reality' !

[Bhitch92]

It's stuff like this that makes me with I had been born in the 80's instead of 92

[ianlondontwo]

@Bhitch92 trust me, u dont ! ;-_)

[harnois75]

Those are well lubricated hips.

[xxxgraemexxx67]

wow didnt realise what a hottie she was

[g0gr33n4l1f3]

wow they were soooo high when they made this werent they?

[anthodgy]

Oh wow! Remember this when i was a little nipper! The good old days!!!

[JAKEROBERTS123]

I think it was the Belle Stars version in The Hangover.

[sundimmer]

Remember this on Top of the Pops! Natasha singing Iko Iko in a Ra Ra skirt with gyrating hips.....WHAT A BABE!

[Holli62]

First I heard it in spain back in'82 and I thought it was Bow Wow Wow, but it ain't. Nice tune.

[monicasm123]

she really nails this song

[manikmek]

I first loved this as a kid by the Dixie Cups but this version is the best i have heard,because of the heavier drums and the added sax,and Natasha being so HOT! dosent hurt anything either

[dmrbrn]

Try to listen to Cyndi Lauper's version. It is so much better. (Just my opinion)

[TheMjblades]

@dmrbrn It IS the best one, you are correct. This is good, but Cyndi's one captured it perfectly.

[AllThreeDimensions]

this video is like that "cousin hooked on acid" version of the song lol, its a great song nonetheless

[ucfknight01]

There are so many versions of this song that it's rediculous! I had no idea how popular it was. I originally heard it in "Skeleton Key" the movie.

[elijahendtre]

i don't remember hearing it in it which scene?

[comedyofthefuture]

MY grandma used to sing this song to me when i was a todler and i know it all off by heart.this one of my favorite songs.

[Meanmanmartin2007]

Hi.

The version that I'm used to is the Belle Stars version. Did that come out the same time as this one?

[BruceinFalkirk]

Yes, in 1982. This was a bigger hit

[phallushallux]

I used to love this song as a kid. It was almost like a playground chant, one that you never forget.

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

"It was almost like a playground chant"

In a sense that's exactly what it is, if your playground is on a deserted island (see Lord of the Flies); or at Mardi Gras (back in the day much the same thing as Lord of the Flies, fueled with booze).

[zaran10]

just one of the best hits of the 80's and has been re-released on cd single by natasha 8 new version's 9 if you include the 80's version..you gotta buy it it's even more infectiouse than it was back then!!!

[blitzbadger]

if you look closely at 01.26 you will see that the large pepper mill that was on the table has vanished!

[parkhamuptonwest]

"Iko Iko" 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

[parkhamuptonwest]

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!"

[honeywater9]

Can anyone translate the parts that are not in English? I have this bet with my mom about what it means.

[the80sdumpster]

in the begining, is that the MAD HATTER?!

[dumbjonny1]

this beat the belle stars by a mile, great voice, was 13 when this was out, sweet dreams!!!!!!!!! wish me wife looked like her!

[evelyn1952]

Of coarse I like Natasha's videos, she was my friend at school. She used to sing Marianne Faithful's songs in the playground. I still have all her signed records to my children. Love you lots D . Trying to get in touch with you. Evelyn from the crescent, x

[fetchmybeer]

I'd hit it

[duranbond007]

Great version of the song I loved this song and had such a crush on her. Still looks hot all these years later.

[bcctalent]

to date this is the best version of IKO ever done by any artist. I look forward to hearing Natasha's new release and also to hearing her own material that she has written since 85 . Can't Wait to see her back up there where she belongs..

[Jesikah84]

OMG! I love this song! Ive been looking for it for years but had no idea what it was called! AWESOME!

[bcctalent]

A new version of Natasha's Iko Iko will be released in Autumn 2007, and it will also include the original single version (making it's debut on CD)

[ban10hut]

this is fun!

[abloodspot]

[hippietransplant]

No, it's from New Orleans, it's French-Indian.

[MintSource3000]
