MASTODON MIXTAPE
Hey Mastodonians, it’s been a long, long time since I’ve done a Friday Night Mixtape post. But here we are, and it’s time once again to create another old-fashioned community mixtape — just like we used to do in the olden days.
Tonight’s theme is going to be music that takes you back. How far back? You decide. Post a song or songs that always manage to transport you back in time and what it reminds you of.
Be sure to ad #MastodonMixtape to your responses.

Way back in high school, at the very beginning of a class, there was the usual chatter among the kids.
One of the kids called across the room and asked me what my favorite song was. I said "Bongo, Bongo, Bongo, I Don't Want to Leave the Congo".
Everyone just stared at me. The teacher said "Oh, that is an old one!"
One of the other kids said "He just knows weird crap like that."
Not a good song, but here you go:

Sorry to have ruined your streak!
The song is from the 1940s. I actually hadn't heard the song itself until a few years ago. I only knew about it in high school because I had heard Fred Allen mention it as a punch line in a joke on his radio program.
I knew a lot of weird crap.
It's also probably the most standout hit on the Fallout 3 soundtrack IMO. You were just into the post-apocalypse before it was cool.
