[@sonyahannah]

Back again: yours was the first version of this song that I had ever seen; because I liked it so much, I went hunting other versions, both acapella and instrumented, just to see what else was out there. . . must have listened to a dozen other versions, and I STILL prefer yours!

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

[@janetranslates]

Trust me. You DON'T want to see how I was shakin' it to this tune, starting about 7 seconds in. You surpassed yourself AGAIN. (I still suspect there are actually four of you.) Loved the dazzling "changed my shirt" effect! Can't imagine the work that went into editing the video. My grandma, your grandma, and both of the flag boys were on FAH-yah!

[@helenrobinson]

Wow! I only know the Dr John version. This is brilliant👏👏

[@kamelhaj6850]

Very fun song, done with class!

[@rugby8-Philadelphia]

Awesome!!! 😎😎😎

[@sonyahannah]

Yup -- I still like/enjoy "Iko Iko" as much as I did when I first discovered it. And it's STILL the best out there.

[@babyloniccuneiform]

This is fantastic! I love all the music you do -- your amazing voice and fabulous arrangements!!! I asked ChatGPT what the words of Iko Iko meant, and here is it's reply. I hope others find this interesting. "Iko Iko" is a song that originated in the New Orleans area and has been covered by various artists over the years. The song includes several lines in Haitian Creole and some English words as well. The Haitian Creole lyrics are: "Jock-a-mo fee na-né" - This line is often interpreted as "Jockomo, feena ah-nay," and it doesn't have a specific meaning in Haitian Creole. It's believed to be a corruption of a Mardi Gras Indian chant that refers to a mythical figure named Jock-o-mo, who may have been a king or a warrior. "Jock-a-mo fee na-né" is sometimes followed by the line "Jock-a-mo fee na-né" or "My flag boy and your flag boy, sittin' by the fire." This line refers to the custom of Mardi Gras Indian tribes displaying their banners (or "flags") during Carnival celebrations. "Chock-a-mo fee no wanna na-né" - This line is a variation of the first line and has a similar meaning. "Tout passé, tout passé, a le wé" - This line means "Everything has passed, everything has passed, as you can see" in Haitian Creole. "Settle down, it's alright" - This line is in English and doesn't require translation. Overall, the Haitian Creole lyrics in "Iko Iko" are not particularly meaningful in a literal sense but are part of a larger cultural tradition associated with Mardi Gras Indian tribes in New Orleans.

I enjoyed this, the one I liked the most was when you did (heard the blue bird sing) I don't know who the lady singing with you is. You have a awesome voice.👍👍👍😀

[@elisabethlooijschelder4974]

[@dewiganggapuspitaretnopert957]

And he throws in a little barbershop swipe right at the end. Heh heh.

[@KiriOnAir]

O wow, I love it so much! Do the sheets fit also for a bigger choir?

[@sgtsonny]

Absolutely! I actually arranged it for a chorus from Spain. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to send an email to [e-mail].

[@Godooable]

Still waiting on an in tune version of and So It Goes

[@TheAnikokiss]

My God! Exciting and fun! Is there any possibility to get scores for SSAA? I would love to sing it with my female quartet! Thank You in advance!

[@sgtsonny]

Hi Aniko. Thank you so much for your intrest in my arrangement. If you send an email to [e-mail], I'll be able to help you out. All the best.

[@jackmandu]

I’ve always liked this song. Great version, Sonny, even if it isn’t fully a capella due to the use of the wooden sticks. 😁

[@SkippertheBart]

I'm gonna say it. I found this song on Fortnite. But it's part of my every day playlist now. I like it.

[@CreweGhostAdventures]

Still hoping you do Elvis working on the building one day lol

[@NoHomerS]

Ok, great video. Now do it with the Nickelodeon lyrics 😃

[@Adwhite1]

May I request "Smile, Darn ya, Smile!" from the first episode of Looney Tunes?

[@angus5693]

Is this contestable?

[@netcreativenl]

Voor de eerste keer.. heel tevreden mee ... helaas kon ik zelf niet meedoen dit keer. Top arrangement: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGqropqpjct7aLM

[@대왕세종이도]

알고리즘 일 안하냐??

[@miketalentscout6666]

- You are so talented Sonny Vande Putte! It would be great to have you perform on Sessions Live!

[@harryboyd9902]

[@asishdas5179]

One Indian music composer had stolen this melody and the third-class & nonsense actor Anil Kapoor got the milage .

[@joanmuzik]

It's too catchy! Great production! cheers from denmark!
