The Dixie Cups, with the old New Orleans standard:

They were originally called Little Miss and the Muffets. Oh yes.

You can watch Chapel of Love, their 1964 hit, but for copyright reasons there's no sound: almost worth it for the bizarre dancers in the background. I'm Gonna Get You Yet is fairly run-of-the-mill girl group stuff. 

Still going strong, and, wisely, sticking to their Crescent City roots.

One response to “Iko Iko”

    I made my seven year old son a couple of CDs that have versions of this on it. Yesterday, in the car, we were listening to the Belle Stars version and he was singing along:
    See that guy all dressed in green
    Iko iko an nay
    He’s not a man, he’s a loving machine
    Jockomo feena nay
    I realised I don’t pay as much attention to lyrics as I oughta!
