Leiber and Stoller later overdubbed a bass and percussion, and released it. 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.
Since the Dixie Cups' run on the charts with the song, some of every body that had a microphone at their disposal has taken a crack at the remake.

Ah, I love that, adds to the mystery. It's like her voice is another intsrument, more so than usuall I mean, and you just have to listen to the intonations, the cadences, the touches of expression...
The album which that is from, is composed of an underlying tone, that goes from track to track, and everything else is spare instrumentaion, and mostly just her using her voice, in various harmonies, beats and improvised sounds...
One of my very favourite artists, she has an amazing range of songs, she really is a crazey genius, in a an escapably French kinda way...
Although I admitt, I do have a kinda thing for for voices/accents/languages, but when it comes down to it, as Ribbons says, you just can't escape those handclaps...

Speaking of catchy...
That song was really cool, Flummage. Even the whoopie cushion/raspberry sound effect had me bopping my head by the end.

I was thinking to myself, what kinds of results would come up if that whenever this thread was bumped, and if you were to read it, you would somehow be compelled under martial law, to unbiasedly state which song you were listening too, without any peer pressure type filtures clogging one's capacity for typin truth...
I know myself, I've hesitated before on occasion, it might be intersting to see if the range of songs were to change at all..
...
Which is all genuine, if implausable to practise brain fizz that crossed my cranium, but also, not least here expressed so I could avoid typing what I was just listening to...
Now playing is...

I like that idea! We'd finally learn of Brock's secret love of all things Donna Summer, that KCBC harbors a secret man-crush on Clay Aiken, and that Sepp's got an iPod filled with Polka versions of heavy metal classics.
Oh and funny you should mention Jimi... right now I've got "Gypsy Eyes" on.
