2. Tasty indeed...

...I'm a sucker for that particular style of music. Oddly enough, though, I am not a Beck fan at all...and one could say this track "sounds like Beck." Maybe it's because I just don;t care for Beck's overall vibe...who knows.

:toast:

[MrCoffee]

3. That was my choice too

I got a letter this morning...

[Decoy of Fenris]

21. Damn, beat me to it.

That's still one of the best movies I've ever seen, despite being an avid movie-lover. I've had it on my DVR for years now.

7. Leave out the "Shaka" and you get the greatest Boom Laka Laka tune of all time.

Sly & The Family Stone - I Wanna Take You Higher

[Amerigo Vespucci]

10. There's no "shaka" in there???

It appears that the earworm that's taken up permanent residency in my head is flawed.

It just won't be the same without the "shaka." I think I 'll just live in denial. It's much easier.

"LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA BOOM shaka laka laka BOOM shaka laka laka LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA..."

:rofl:

:toast:

[bluesbassman]

11. Ya know, I thought there was too. But re-listening to it it seems there ain't.

Don't live in denial man. Embrace the truth and it will set you free. :rofl:

Boom Laka Laka Laka,
Boom Laka Laka Laka

[old mark]

15. For over 25 years, I thought there was a fucking Shaka...

Life is hard.;(

16. Imagine my chagrin when I thought I had caught AV in an obvious gaffe...

by omitting THE SINGLE GREATEST BOOM SHAKA LAKA LAKA SONG OF ALL TIME, only to discover that having smoked one to many spliffs back in the day, my memory of this classic Sly tune was based on a flawed interpretation!

I may have to burn my union card in shame.

[old mark]

17. I turned in my Union card in Alabama, which is very close

to shame....

22. I think Tina Turner performs it correctly with "shaka"

[DevonRex]

24. Good God. There's no shaka. The world is upside down.

And, imo its one of the greatest songs of all time regardless of booms nad lakas.

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. I'd long thought Chuggo the pioneer of such lyrics.

(scratches head)

[foxfeet]

9. "Nearer, My God, to Thee"

[Ryano42]

12. ARRMEEEE TRAAAAING!!!

Razzle Dazzle!!!

[ornotna]

13. This one of course

Apache Indian - Boom Shakalaka

Never mind

[Brickbat]

14. Other, although it's a slight variant:

House of Pain's "Boom Shalock Lock Boom."

remix:

God, I miss the '90s.

[old mark]

18. "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"...The version by Alvin and the Chipmunks....nt

[HopeHoops]

19. Spa-am and the other pig natives in "Muppets' Treasure Island"

Probably the best version EVER - especially the opening song, "Dead Men Tell No Tale".

[peekaloo]

20. Crap there's no shaka in it but 'Walk the Dinosaur' by WasNotWas

is a nifty tune.

[pink-o]

23. My thought too when I saw the thread.

Surprised it wasn't the first one on the poll!
