I need help, where I used to work there was a song that played on the radio continuously every few hours... The best description I can come up with for the song is 50's - 60's - 70's song a bunch of jolly most likely african american (or jungle) man who sings "Ah Ah Ah Ah" and then a chorus repeats it "Ah Ah Ah Ah" .... But he puts his stomach into it "Ah Ah Ah Ah" .. not A A A A, the "Ah" sound is what it goes like. I believe the chorus is a group of women but this was a few years back I don't remember if the repeat was a man or a woman. It's a very jolly song and when you read it out loud it should be done as if you've had ten shots... does anyone know? The lyrics I cant distinguish what is being said, but this part is repeat in between some hard to understand lyrics..

Ah Ah Ah Ah

Ah Ah Ah Ah (so the man says it and then the women repeat it right after)

Oh Oh Oh Oh (sing it like o, o, o, OH)

Oh Oh Oh Oh

Ooga Booga booga BOOGA!

Ooga booga boga BOOGA!

YYEEEAAAOH

YEAAAAOH

(jolly lyrics)

Then back into it:

Ah Ah Ah Ah

Ah Ah Ah Ah (so the man says it and then the women repeat it right after)

Oh Oh Oh Oh (sing it like o, o, o, OH)

Oh Oh Oh Oh

Ooga Booga booga BOOGA!

Ooga booga boga BOOGA!

YYEEEAAAOH

YEAAAAOH

Thanks, I have been wondering what this song was for 3 years and I can't find it no matter what happened. Thanks, Guy

When I was exploring Africa in the 60's I came across a tribe that had a song that went something like:
"Ooo eee ooo ah ah ping pang walla walla bing bang" but that's probably not what you're looking for........

Yes! an opportunity to link Ooga Chaka

(could that be it?)

Can somebody help me with this one...it sounds like some sort of bird man. A crow, perhaps?

Ah-a-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ah!
Ah-a-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ah!

Then something about ice and snow.

I completely agree.

"The Immigrant Song" - Led Zeppelin

I havent seen that in years!!


i'm thinking it's either Jungle Boy by John Eddie or Tarzan Boy by Baltimora... but those are 80s songs.
