The most famous and commercially successful version of "Iko Iko" was recorded and released in 1953 by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford and his Cane Cutters, which established the tune as a permanent New Orleans rhythm and blues standard. However, the song achieved massive global mainstream pop crossover success decades later in 1989 through the energetic cover version released by the American pop music group The Dixie Cups, which remains the definitive rendition heard worldwide in films and commercials.
