Oh, hey... that reminds me of a radio hit by T. Rex ("Bang A Gong") from the early 70's -- which then reminds me of another radio hit by T. Rex ("Jeepster") from the ealry 70's. Thanks, Frands!



You are welcome, Dave78!:cheers:. The tune 'Bongo Rock' was originally released as a single by Preston Epps (USA) in 1959, and on the album 'Bongo Bongo Bongo' in 1960. It became one of his greatest hits.
Another hit in same style from 1961 is the tune 'Let There Be Drums' by Sandy Nelson:

Frands, your last entry reminded me of this one from the mid-70's:


Lost & Found were an Danish 60s beat group. The song No, No, No became a big hit in 1968 in Scandinavia and in The Netherlands,France, Spain,USA and Canada in 1969. The band did not manage to release any full albums but 3 singles where the tune No,No, No became the most popular hits. The tune is still on the radios playlists in the northern european countries..especially in The Netherlands and Scandinavia.
