There were 2 versions - one by some woman called Natasha, and one by the Belle Stars. Name of the song is Iko Iko and I think it's a cover of some ancient ditty originally sung by a man.

It was also a hit in 1964 by the Dixie Cups.

The version by the Belle Stars can be found on the 1988 soundtrack "Cocktail" which starred Tom Cruise and Elisabeth Shue.
