Justin Wellington - Iko Iko (My Bestie) [Official Music Video] ft. Small Jam 

It is August 2024 and this old (67) lady heard this song for the first time. I had the joy of dancing all around my room. I know you recorded this 7 years ago but the joy is timeless.

I am 75 years old and it makes me want to get up on my feet and dance. Such a great song.

4 years ago? I thought this song were new?? Heard it on the radio yesterday and thought it was new😂 love it!

This is one of my favorite songs, as soon as I hear the first bars I start playing. Good rhythm, melody, lyrics. I can listen to it all day long. Well done❤❤❤ Best regards from Belgrade, Serba.

Who knows what it all means? This song is from the 50's. Perhaps the best version. Iko-Iko is a victory chant. Jacko...is a rally call going to war. This a battle song between 2 Indian tribes in Louisiana. Interesting background. Great song. Go find the Dixie Cups version. Drumstick banging on an ashtray. Listen, you'll hear it.

Grace and Peace to all. This is what the world needs. Thanks. Beautiful.

Feels good to listen to our parents generation vibes Nothing like fashion Always carried forward Never gets old

I feel good, when listening , no stress no depression :)

Classic music never dies.............and this happy rhythm is what we need for now instead of those insane news

This song is a vibe. If I close my eyes, I can go back to my summer vacation in Southern Italy with a bunch of family and childhood friends back in the day, the August nights sitting by the fire on the beach, contemplating the night sky and searching for meteor showers. The mood of this amazing song brings me to these precious memories and I feel so good and nostalgic at the same time.

My Pacific Boys doing us proud. Big shout out to mu County man Justin Wellington 🙌 Papua New Guinea of you 🇵🇬

Muchas gracias todo está muy lindo tu voz y el vídeo ❤❤❤❤

Why I never heard of this song artist before ? His voice alone is already a melody to my ears without the tune. I love ❤️ it. I am hooked to this YOUR BESTIE MY BESTIE.

Muito linda essa música. Tem um balanço muito gostoso pra dançar.

This song has a very catchy beat. It put anyone to dance! So, if someone is having a bad day...listen to this song and your spirit will be lifted!

What a fabulous song. So upbeat and universal I hear it everywhere and I still want to hear it more

this song would make even the saddest person in the world happy. I always listen to it when I'm down in the dumps. I didn't think she was that old, time passes too quickly, good times.

Yes astonish... I seem to remember it at most times in my life... I am 75 and every time I hear it... it sounds just like the first time.. ❤❤❤

Sending high vibes , love to everyone around the world. Esp those who need it most right now. Love, light , protection & peace. Blessings to everyone. 🙏🏽🔆✨🌈🌸💕🤍🌍🌎🌏🙏🏽✨

My grandsons just LOVE this song❣️ So happy I could pass this song down so my grandbabies can enjoy it as much as I do ❤

The fact that this came out 6 years ago, and it's just now getting recognized is unbelievable

This song make me smiling every day :)

I love the beat, the music and the dancing! Reminds me of wonderful times had in my youth dancing the night away to Latino bands and African bands. So many men don’t dance . They don’t know what they are missing!

I have so many versions of this song on my playlist. I love this spin on it.

Sang this song to my grandchild when she was born 13 years ago. I knew it as a child in the '50's. It wasn't 'my bestie' those are new words; it originally was 'my grandma'.

How did I miss this heavenly jam for 4 years??😟 Thanks to Tiktok for bringing to light this song.

It is August 2024, and this " Young" Lady age 68 looked up this " record" as I was so Happy watching babies dancing to the track , last night , on a RU-vid Short Video. And i remember dancing to the original Iko Iko well over 50 years ago 😀🎶💃🎶👍
