It's called Iko Iko and Aaron Carter did a cover on it, but he is not the original artist....I know that because Cyndi Lauper also sang this song a while back...but i'm not sure if she is the origianl writer or performer of it either.

I AM DINOSAUR...RAR!!!

The original performer was Sugar Boy and the Cane Cutters back in 1953, when it was known under the title "Jock-a-Mo."

But . . .?! It did not become a hit till the Dixie Cups did a cover version of it under its best known title "Iko Iko" in 1965.

It was also a hit in the U.K., when Natasha England did a cover version in 1982.

The 2 biggest international hit versions of it was in the 1980s, when the Belle Stars covered it, and again in 2001, when Captain Jack covered it.

And it has been covered by many artists since the original version.

Besides "The Little Vampire," the song is also used in . . .

Kishen Kanhaiya in 1990
Mission Impossible II in 2000
Skeleton Key in 2005
The Hangover in 2009

but . . .?! Probably the best known film featuring the song was Rain Man in 1988.
