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".

'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
