Dixie cups - Iko Iko
My grandma and your grandma, sitting by the fire.
My grandma told your grandma, “I’m gonna set your flag on fire”.
not really sure why this song pops in my head when it does. it did this morning but however hard i tried i just couldn’t put my finger on the trigger.
i think it’s just got something to do with the background beat you could well imagine indians doing a little indian walk dance to (walking, slightly on toes, four quick steps, two slow steps, hands raised to shoulder height… yes? anyone?). anyway, sometimes i feel like walking like that when i’m popping between places.
here is a little wikipedia article on the history of this song: Iko Iko
