I would like to point out to someone that this page says that "Iko Iko" was recorded sometime in the mid 40's, but on the page for the song "Iko Iko", it states that it was written about 1950. One of these references (or both) need to be corrected with the correct date.

The All Music Guide quotes "Sugar Boy and his Cane Cutters" recording "Jock-a-Mo" in early 1954. The track was the forerunner version of The Dixie Cups eventual 1965 re-working - "Iko Iko".[1] Sugar Boy was James "Sugar Boy" Crawford who is given at least, part songwriting credit, for the Dixie Cups' hit. Accordingly, I have amended the two references to the year of 1954.
