Iko Iko (this thread isn't about masturbation)
(Sorry no chicken choking here)

A few years ago I heard a wonderful a cappella version of Iko Iko, but never found out who did the version.

So, in my continuing quest to avoid doing anything constructive with my time, I've taken to collecting Iko Iko versions in hopes of finding the version. So far I haven't found it. Here's what I have found so far:

Dr. John
Funky Meters
Cyndi Lauper
Dixie Cups
Indigo Girls
Rolf Harris (Yup, the "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" guy)
Zap Mama (?)
Bananarama
Grateful Dead
Aaron Carter
Hoaikane
Daniel Desnoyers
Belle Stars
Neville Brothers
Captain Jack

Anybody know of any other Iko Iko versions?

3. Sure it wasn't the Dixie Cups?
They had a version that was backed only by drumsticks-no other music.

It's right here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000000DT2/ref=pd_sxp_f/102-1770095-9410516?v=glance&s=music

5. That's not the one...
I think version I heard had male and female vocals.

Thanks, though.
