Twinkle Brothers and origin of the "ooga-chaka"

[edit]

The Twinkle Brothers 1971 cover certainly includes a version of the signature "ooga-chaka," but I haven't found a source for the claim that it directly influenced the Blue Swede version. On the other hand, it seems plausible that it preceded and influenced the King version, since the King version appears to have been released late in 1971 and King was aware of the reggae scene in Britain at the time, but a reference would be helpful, even just of an early 1971 release date for the Twinkle Brothers version.Improbabilimited (talk) 02:54, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, it looks like King claims to have added the ooga chaka and that Blue Swede asked him for permission [1]. I don't really trust him but I can't find a source for the month of the Twinkle Brothers version, so I think we have to just go with the King version for now.
