Bought when they came out! The Dixie Cups : Iko Iko from Gumbo to post-punk!


Thanks to Dr John I knew this one for the longest time and a street song as a child growing up too but the Dixie Cups added a pop cool this standard pop classic nursery rhyme (sic!) 

Another bought from the ex-jukebox bargain bins was a cover by the Belle Stars bringing up to date  . . . . . . . . used on the soundtrack of the wonderful Dustin Hoffa’s extraordinary Rainman





More? . . . here are the girls on BBC TV 26th June 1982 some awards do!
