Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko?


I'm looking for a great version of this song. I heard a few great ones a long time ago but don't recall when they were recorded. Anyone here have a favorite?

I take it this refers to Iko Iko

if so, i have heard several but nothing compares to the Dixie Cups from 65. recorded with only a chair, drumstick, Coke bottle, ashtray, and drums, produced by Leiber and Stoller.

Jock-a-Mo is obviously based off it and although I love Sugar Boy Crawford and Dr John, i think the original is a lot better
my mistake

i have the Crawford version and thought it was 67'

that is the date of the release i have but obviously it was just pressed then. i didn't realize it was from the 50's

thanks for the info
