Iko, Iko is a Mardi Gras song in which Indian tribes, dressed in extraordinary costumes, chant this song during a mock battle between the tribes. The lyrics that aren't in the native language have been translated in many ways thus leaving room for different interpretations.

Love this tune, want to learn it and understand the meanings. A dropped cigarette butt that landed under a cat blanket made me look it up as it added humour to the situation :-)

"Iko Iko" is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two "tribes" of Mardi Gras Indians and the traditional confrontation. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo", was written and released as a single in 1953 by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford that failed to make the charts. In 1967 as part of a lawsuit settlement between Crawford and the female pop group The Dixie Cups, the trio were given part songwriting credit to the song. The Dixie Cups hit version of "Iko Iko" was released in 1965
