Children of the 80s

Dude

Lets see if I can remember it

"Way down deep in the middle of the congo"
"The Hippo took the an apricot, a something and a mango".
"He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango".
"The Rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo"

Nearly!

Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.

The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo", Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.

The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.

So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!

Oh God, I can't believe I just had to look that up. :tongue:

I've paid more for Pokemon cards... :redface:

Lol, Um Bongo...it's the official drink of our college at uni now :tongue:

I remember laughing hysterically at the adverts!

Me too, but only because i ended up getting about 300 in return for the trade of the fossil gengar, which someone needed to complete their set (they were a collector rather than a player.... and i sound really sad right now!)

Oh I never played the cards - collecting them was enough :tongue:

I used to collect friendship bracelets as well, that carried on into the 90's!

Well i've always played card games, but most of the people only collected, so it was hard to get a game most of the time...

Thats why i play Magic now, because there aren't really people who just colect them.
