In the first song by Johnny Preston, "ooga chaka" is basically some white backup singers trying to sound like they're doing an "Indian" (i.e., Native American) war chant. According to the Wikipedia entry on "Running Bear," the singer responsible for the "ooga chaka" is country & western singer George Jones.
If it was OOGA CHAKA OOGA OOGA ... OOGA CHAKA OOGA OOGA ... it would be "Hooked on a Feeling" version done by Jonathan King (1971) - but the most popular version is by Blue Suede (1972).
My favorite version of "Hooked on a Feeling" is the techno version by Silenzi
Why should I have that "line" in my head only. I pass it on to you.
I need to listen to Silenzi when I get home. I need to KNEAD on people for a few hours. LATER.
