  • Always loved this song by Manu Chao so we thought we'd do a cover.
    Thanks so much for all your support! We release all our music independently and have worked really hard to bring you all of our videos! It would help us immensely if you would share our new single with all your friends, family, across your socials and download and stream the song online.

I don't care about the times they play it and edit to have the perfect sound. In fact it has more merit for me.

    Mama was queen of the mambo
    Papa was king of the Congo
    Deep down in a jungle
    I started banging my first bongo
    Every monkey like to be
    In my place instead of me
    I'm the king of Bongo
    Baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
    I went to the big town
    Where there is a lot of sound
    From the jungle to big city
    Looking for a bigger crown
    But I play my Boogie
    For the people of big city
    But they don't go crazy
    When I'm banging all my boogie
    I'm the
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo bong
    Hear me when I come, baby
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo Bong
    Hear me when I come

    They say that I'm a clown
    Making too much dirty sound
    They say there is no place
    For little monkey in this town
    So I play my Boogie
    For the people of big city
    But they don't go crazy
    When I'm banging all my boogie
    I'm the
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo bong
    Hear me when I come, baby
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo Bong
    Hear me when I come

    Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
    Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien n'avoir
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te voir
    Car je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te revoir
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien savoir
    Non, je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Je ne t'aime plus tout les jours
    Banging on my Boogie
    All that swing belongs to me
    I'm so happy there's nobody
    In my place instead of me
    I'm a king without a crown
    Hanging loose in a big town
    'Cause I'm the king of Bongo
    Baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo bong
    Hear me when I come, baby
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo Bong
    Hear me when I come,baby
    King of the Bongo

      If you look up Ren and his own music you can see he has a lot of experience with recording his music “live” while performing his songs. Music production can be insanely expensive - but if you’re smart and talented enough, you can do great things like this cover song.

    For the ones who want to sing alone (these are the updated lyrics):
    Mama was queen of the mambo
    Papa was king of the Congo
    Deep down in a jungle
    I started banging my first bongo
    Every monkey like to be
    In my place instead of me
    I'm the king of Bongo
    Baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
    I went to the big town
    Where there is a lot of sound
    From the jungle to big city
    Looking for a bigger crown
    But I play my Boogie
    For the people of big city
    But they don't go crazy
    When I'm banging all my boogie
    I'm the
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo bong
    Hear me when I come, baby
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo Bong
    Hear me when I come
    They say that I'm a clown
    Making too much dirty sound
    They say there is no place
    For little monkey in this town
    So I play my Boogie
    For the people of big city
    But they don't go crazy
    When I'm banging all my boogie
    I'm the
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo bong
    Hear me when I come, baby
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo Bong
    Hear me when I come
    Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
    Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien n'avoir
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te voir
    Car je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te revoir
    Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien savoir
    Non, je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
    Je ne t'aime plus tout les jours
    Banging on my Boogie
    All that swing belongs to me
    I'm so happy there's nobody
    In my place instead of me
    I'm a king without a crown
    Hanging loose in a big town
    'Cause I'm the king of Bongo
    Baby I'm the king of Bongo Bong
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo bong
    Hear me when I come, baby
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo Bong
    Hear me when I come,baby
    King of the Bongo
    King of the Bongo Bong
    Hear me when I come,baby
    King of the Bongo

    P.S. Oh and please come to the USA. I promise it’s not really as bad as the news makes it out to be…at least in most places it’s not! (But even if it were, that’s all the more reason to come-to have the opportunity to enjoy your talent first hand would be so surreal and amazingly uplifting…Lives would be changed forever, without a doubt).
