How in the heck did Iko Iko get into everybody's songbook, but there's not one group in 20 that can play it worth a darn?
Answer- it only has two chords.
Worst reason in the world to pick a song for a group to play.
It was never a popular tune, nobody grew up hearing it on the radio.
Little wonder it gets butchered when a group sitting on their bottoms staring at a page attempt to pull it off.
No rhythm, no soul.
The evidence on YouTube is overwhelming IMHO.
Just a minor pet peeve of mine.
