Wrong! "Zombie Jamboree" was originally sung by the Lord Invader in the 1950's. Please get your information right before posting. Rockapella's version was only one of a long line of cover versions.
Rockapella formed in the mid-80's. This song was originally recorded in 1953. It was covered by the Kingston Trio, Harry Bellafonte, Peter Tosh and Harry Nilsson before Rockapella even existed.
really i thought rockapellas was the original thanks for the info.....i like harry nilssons version.....he blew out his vocal chords when it was recorded and it sounds good for the song
Wonderful song, but the quality is rather poor. Despite this, I give it a 5, since I've listened to this song since Rockapella covered it in the early 90s, and I think it rocks no matter who sings it.

Really? I thought it was Harry Belafonte's..

@bartvkessel Not at all. None of the calypsos sang by Belafonte were his creations.

Most of his songs were originally written by Trinidadian calysonians.
