Saturday Matinee – Stag Party, Bottle Ninja & The Neville Bros.

The Neville Brothers with “Brother John / Iko Iko” 1995, Stuttgart.
According to Wikipedia:
The song “Iko Iko” was written in 1953 in New Orleans by James “Sugar Boy” Crawford about two competing Mardi Gras Tribes/Krewes. “Jock-a-mo” was the original version of the song “Iko Iko” recorded by The Dixie Cups in 1965. Their version came about by accident. They were in a New York City studio for a recording session when they began an impromptu version of “Iko Iko,” accompanied only by drumsticks on studio ashtrays.
[Listen to it on the Utoobage here. Lyrics are in the notes.]
Other trivia: Crawford formed a band which local DJ Doctor Daddy-O named “The Chapaka Shawee” – Creole for “We Aren’t Raccoons.”

Saturday Matinee – Frans de Waal’s Capuchins, Russian Monkeys, Ska and The Specials
The Capuchin Monkey experiment is classic. Full video here, and it’s worth watching. Frans de Waal‘s joke about OWS is wrong, but the rest is good IMO.
Good God are these guys scary monkeys. One errant gust of wind at that height would blow ’em away. [via]
The Specials only had one album, but it put Ska back on the map for pop music. The late Amy Winehouse did a horrible cover of the song.
Let’s see. How do we wrap this up on a positive note? Got it.
The Specials Live in Glastonbury 2009. With that we’re out of here. Be back here for Real Gangster Time tomorrow for more inane fun.
[Update: Joanne C corrected me in the comments below. The Specials recorded several albums.]
