Iko Iko:The Dixie Cups.
Hit the top 40 in 1965.
The song lyrics are partly Creole French &
the song is allegedly about the Mardi Gras.
The only music during the whole song is Barbara
Hawkins beating time with drumsticks on a e bottle.
I added the chords.

My grandma told your grandma,

Talkin bout
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now.
