    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.   This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at August 22, 2019 2:33 PM MDT

    I have, like, 5-6 versions of the song on my iPod.
    Sometimes, I'll just play them back-to-back.

    (no, I don't have the song by David Hasselhoff.)

    That song was the first thing that came to mind. You found it first.

    It's probably some anti-Trump rant. That's all we've gotten from you since 2016.

    OOGACHAKA is the name of a glacier.  The translation is: 'OOGACHAKA melted away boo hoo  hoo'
