Shama Lama ding dong

Wanted's version of 'Shama lama ding dong'

[@YoungTummy]

My bro was an australian living in NZ and he past away in 2020 January. I was drinking a week ago and this lady put this song on and BOOM! It hit me like a truck cause he use to play this all the time when would drink and i never paid attention to how good the song was until now. I will forever love you Nathan! You never did me wrong and that was so rare in my life. I remember laughing at these lyrics back then, now i cry. Love you my bro!

[@jungleman4921]

Hokianga...Far Far North.Churr. RIP Nathan.

[@marankahtei6933]

Sorry for your loss, this song makes me cry too the singer and the big guy are brothers and my uncles, the main singer Pete, voice of an angel, also passed away and so every time I hear this around the world I cry that we lost someone whose voice was celebrated by many in the world❤

You never forget a beautiful voice like that. I've been coming back to this clip for a decade and it still hits the spot.

When I was in the Marines, the movie "Animal House" was playing. The music was so great that when me and a fellow Marine heard that we could see the movie in the theater for free if we wore a toga, we actually did it! We were first ridiculed by some waiting to get inside, but after the movie was over, me and Bill walked away with a girl each! We had a great night! It was back in North Carolina in 1978, in the town located just outside of Camp LeJeune.
