according to the song writer, james "sugar boy" crawford, Iko Iko” was like a victory chant that the Indians would shout when they won the "flag game."
This great and entertaining song is my favorite Non-single track on Cyndi's "True Colors" album (along with "911"). Cyndi was the Bomb in the 80's like Madonna, Michael Jackson and Tina Turner
if Jimmy Fallon got hit by a bus tomorrow and didn't die, I would wish him a very very very slow and very very very painful recovery. every single atom in my body hates that man

This song has been recorded by 100 people at LEAST...and the Lauper version ranks in the bottom 10%...i give it a 99/100, cause there MAY be someone who did it worse at some time, but I don't know who they are, yet...Beiber or Taylor Swift maybe? Why do NYC pop stars mess with good southern Creole Music is beyond me...soulless.
This brings back pleasant memories of my childhood in the 70's in New Orleans!! Never heard Cyndi Lauper version. Thanks for posting!
I believe the son is from the 80's not the 70's it was done by Belle Star originally
This version is defiantly the top one in my eyes
I'm a fan of the Grateful Dead's version 😎
Gjdbd
I like this one
Cyndi Lauper kills it!! My favorite version!!
according to the song writer, james "sugar boy" crawford, Iko Iko” was like a victory chant that the Indians would shout when they won the "flag game."
Robert Wright cool fact
True Colors is a very underrated album
I've sung this song to my son forever. He's 9yrs old and is still mesmerised by it Haha!!!
This great and entertaining song is my favorite Non-single track on Cyndi's "True Colors" album (along with "911"). Cyndi was the Bomb in the 80's like Madonna, Michael Jackson and Tina Turner
I have heard a lot of versions of Iko Iko - Cyndi's is up there - love it.
Love this song 🥰he makes me so happy😊
The thin about this song is the way she sings it normally would drive me crazy, but she makes it work great.

The Mardi Gras Indians In New Orleans can explain it all ..
On l'apprend en classe, elle est très rytmique et Cyndi Lauper a une voix rigolote !

No sé qué es esta canción, pero supongo que en Estados Unidos ha de ser muy popular...Como sea, Cyndi la interpreta muy bien...La encuentro animada...
It's great. Dr. John's version could be what's keeping people from agreeing though.
Well done Love it :)

Her little girl voice is so right for the campfire song.
THis is the best version of Iko Iko ever recorded
