"Bongo Bong" is the first solo single by Manu Chao, from his debut album, Clandestino. It is a remake of "King of Bongo", a track from Manu Chao's previous band, Mano Negra. The title and lyrics are taken from the 1939 jazz song "King of Bongo Bong" by Black American trumpeter Roy Eldridge. It also uses the background music from Black Uhuru's song "Bull ina di Pen", from their 1984 album, Anthem. The song is part of a medley with "Je ne t'aime plus" on Clandestino. Moreover, the music has been reused for other songs, such as "Mr. Bobby", which was first released on this single before being re-recorded for Chao's second album, Próxima Estación: Esperanza, and "Homens", from the same record.

  • King of Bongo est une chanson du groupe français Mano Negra, sorti sur l’album du même nom. Selon le bassiste Jo Dahan dans le documentaire Out of Time, le morceau est inspiré du guitariste Link Wray. Cette chanson a pour origine le morceau King of the Bongo Bong (1939) du trompettiste Roy Eldridge. La chanson parle d'un singe, roi du Bongo, qui après avoir été roi de la jungle, débarque dans une ville qui écoute du disco. (fr)
  • Bongo Bong è il primo singolo da solista di Manu Chao estratto dal suo primo album, Clandestino. È sicuramente uno dei suoi più grandi successi e delle sue canzoni più conosciute. Si tratta di un remake del brano che scrisse per i Mano Negra, "King of Bongo". Nell'album fa parte di un medley con "Je Ne T'Aime Plus". La musica è stata anche riutilizzata per altri pezzi come "Mr. Bobby" che è stata inserita come lato B di questo singolo, prima di essere registrata anche nel secondo album del cantante. (it)
