What "IT" means and other versions:
Iko, Iko - the Dixie Cups
• Iko, Iko - the Dixie Cups
Iko, Iko is a Mardi Gras song in which Indian tribes, dressed in extraordinary costumes, chant this song during a mock battle between the tribes. It has been translated in many ways and leaves a lot of room for interpretation. I included the lyrics.
It's become a traditional New Orleans song. Radio back then was local, not national; bet that's why most ppl weren't aware of it before the Dixie Cups.It's damn catchy; they weren't trying to pirate it. ( see @ shainaization below). Nobody knows where the chorus comes from originally, not even Crawford, who grabbed pieces of local Indian battle sayings (like in the vid)--but the Indians themselves were possibly picking them up from other pieces of? the local creole.
James Sugar Boy Crawford - Jock-A-Mo

The original Iko. He is really saying "Chock-a-mo feen-o and-dan-day". When the demo was received by Chess Records in Chicago, they thought he was saying Jock-A-Mo so that's what they put on the label. Some think he's sayin' "Yock-a-mo feen-o and-dan-day"
Hey! I heard a "Chokmo feel no hey" by Preservation Jazz Hall Band!! It sounded different from this song but I assume this is where they got it from. What does that phrase mean? I'm? so curious!
I don't know what it means. Crawford says he made it up. I've heard it's derived loosely from a Native American (mainly Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes) extinct language but used by African Americans and European settlers and their descendants in the Gulf Coast Region. Loosely translated, it means "very good". Some music scholars say it translates in Mardi Gras Indian lingo as "Kiss my? ass". Some say it's from the Caribbean. I tend to believe Sugar Boy's explanation.
Be careful, they may begin to monitor us? as spies talkin' in code.

"Iko Iko" is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two "tribes" of Mardi Gras Indians. The lyrics are derived from Indian chants and popular catchphrases. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo", was written in 1954 by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford in New Orleans, but has spread so widely that many people take it to be a much older folk song. The song is closely identified as a Mardi Gras song, but it is equally known as a Top 40 hit. The main melody bears a strong resemblance to the guitar riff in "Son de la Loma" recorded by the Trio Matamoros. "Son de la Loma" was written by Miguel Matamoros sometime before May 8, 1925.
The story tells of a "spy dog" or lookout for one band of Indians encountering the "flag boy" or guidon carrier for another band. He threatens to set the flag on fire.

In My Opinion: The Best Explanation of "What It Means" in beginning of Video.
Help???
"Chakamofenanay!" Grew up singin Iko Iko in NOLA. Wild Tchoupitoulas & The Meters are my wonder years
My favourite band!
Hope Quaid still has very fond memories of having the privilege of playing with the amazing Neville Bros. If I were in Quaid's shoes, I'd keep a copy of this entire performance at the FRONT of my video library (just as evidence that these stellar performers were gracious enough to invite me on stage).
I wouldn't, it would remind of what a goof I looked like.
I thought that was Dennis, but my first reaction was "What's he doing there?"
Brilliant performance by the boys - and the girls get a little part in it too - how generous of the boys!
Classic neville brothers
R.I.P. Rosa,from the Dixie Cups-New Orleans royalty-the Neville Bros.backed up the Grateful Dead a few times[a perfect fit,IMHO.]
Anybody see The Big Easy with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin? Great movie set down in N'awlins.
More volume please....
ART!
You mention that the words may have come "from a Native American (mainly Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes) extinct language. . ." Note that neither the Choctaw nor Chickasaw languages are extinct. They, and about 70 other Native American languages are severely endangered because of government policies to eradicate them, but the languages are still spoken by some elders, and the tribes are working to teach them to younger members.
at 1:30 into the video is the actor Dennis Quaid...
Yes
I'm thinking that's Ed Bradley - CBS NEWS - at about 2:55. Makes me want to be at Tipitina's drinking a cold Dixie.
