Iko Iko Lyrics
My grandma and your grandma
Sitting by the fire
My grandma says to your grandma
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"
Talkin' 'bout
Hey now
Hey now

Jokomo fee na ah na nay
Jokomo fee na nay
Look at my king all dressed in red
Iko iko an nay
I bet you five dollars he'll kill you
dead
Jokomo fee na nay
CHORUS:
Talkin' 'bout
Hey now (hey now)
Hey now (hey now)
Iko iko an nay (whoah-oh)
Jokomo fee na ah na nay
Jokomo fee na nay
My flag boy and your flag boy
Sitting by the fire
My flag boy says to your flag boy
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"
CHORUS:
Talkin' 'bout
Hey now (hey now)

Definitely NOLA song. Look at the history and tradition of the Mardi Gras Indian tribes. References to Flag Boys, colored dress (costumes of the big Chief and tribal leaders). It's clear that this is a song referencing the rich but little-known history of the Mardi Gras Indians.

It was originally written by Sugar Boy Crawford in the early 50s, and yes, it did originate from New Orleans and was originally titled "Jockamo". But this is one of the most popular versions of it, re-titled "Iko Iko".

don't ever hesitate to tell sonomee you love them, because one day you might regret not letting him know how you felt because it would have made everything different.

I have heard it a long time ago & instead of a flag being set on fire it was the other grandmothers soul being set on fire & it was on a record & it was children or sounded like children singing it

This chant is west African in origin bought to New Orleans by Haitians. It reflects west African tonal patterns.

'No magic involved in this 1953 song. Actually, according to Wikipedia, it is about a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade collision between two Native American tribes.
I first heard it in "Rain Man" and always associate it with Tom Cruise yelling into his phone!! :D
