Dj from Los Angeles, CaThe 'Ooga Chucka' chorus first appeared in Johnny Preston's version of 'Running Bear' (Mercury,1959)as mentioned.To me it comically mimics an African tribal, drug-induced, fireside mating mantric-tantric chant - 'Ooga chacka ooga ooga' I am almost shure this is it's intent. Regarding the Swedes: let them bask on their misconceptions - it may be all they have left. 'Livestock Corralpersons and Indigenous Peoples' would not have inspired me as a 5 year old. Tony from Brooklyn, NyDennis as a kid who had botha cowboy and indian outfit in the 60's I can assure you that it was spoken as Cowboys and Indians NOT Indians and Cowboys.

Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn February 1, 1969, B.J.Cyberpope from Vancouver, CanadaYup, I only knew this as the Ooga-Chaka song.The catchy electric sitar in the intro and solo was absolutely a riff of art but the great voice of Mr Thomas could master some beautiful melismatic lines in the sylables always in perfect tune and chorus, a perfect combination made the difference for his superb version of the Mark James song. Beto Ponce from México CityB J Thomas original theme was huge popular in México, translated on radio as 'Prendado de un sentimiento' or 'Atrapado' and 'Atado a un sentimiento' in radio stations.
