“Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo)”
-sung by Danny Kaye and the Andrew Sisters

Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign
He tells the native population that civilization is fine
And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree
That civilization is a thing for me to see

So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords
I make it clear
That no matter how they coax him
I'll stay right here

I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
Magazine? What happens?
I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles
You know you can get hurt that way Daniel
At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see
What do they see Danny?
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me

So bongo, bongo, bong he don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go
Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis
Noise in my ear
So no matter how they coax him
I'll stay right here

They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
And though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain
When they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds
What do they do Danny
They swim and they fish but that's what I do all year round

So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
Don't want no jailhouse, shotguns, fish hooks, golf clubs
I've got my spear
So no matter how they coax him
I'll stay right here

They have things like the atom bomb
So I think I'll stay where I "om"
Civilization, I'll stay right here

@klee .。.:*♡ It was the 40s, different sensibilities, that's why they didn't see these sounds as offensive, on top of that it was very common at the time to use such vocalization instead of using actual words.

They're not mocking at all the natives, listen to the lyrics "They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train, and though it's smokey and it's crowded they're too civilized to complain. When they've got two weeks vacation, they hurry to vacation ground (What do they do, Darling?) They swim and they fish but that's what i do all year 'round... " I mean obviously they're not mocking the natives, they're criticizing the stressful way of life in ubranized areas, and the docility of "civilized" people in their acceptance of these living conditions. Most importantly, they are reversing the roles, the "civilized" are the "savages" here.

"I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed (Magazine? What happens?) I see "how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles" Once again, clear critic, the act of concealment by the wife, and again the contrast between "civilized" and what civilized people do, here in what can be described as involuntary manslaughter.

"They have things like the atom BOMB! So i think i'll stay where i AM! Civilization... I'll stay right here! " And the conclusion. Very obviously, that's a clear-cut critic of the so-called "civilization", with their most horridly barbaric invention (still vividly in the minds of people at the time, with the full realization of the radiation effects on the japanese population and their newborns) put on display to exemplify their savagery.

TL;DR: r/wooooosh

Each morning, a missionary advertises neon sign
He tells the native population that civilization is fine
And three educated savages holler from a bamboo tree
That civilization is a thing for me to see
So bongo, bongo, bongo,
I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go
Don't want no bright lights,
False teeth, doorbells, landlords, I make it clear
That no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
I looked through a magazine the
Missionary's wife concealed (Magazine? What happens?)
I see how people who are civilized bung you with
Automobile (You know you can get hurt that way Dani
At the movies they have got to pay many
Coconuts to see (What do they see, Darling?)
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me
So bongo, bongo, bongo,
He don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, he's so happy in the jungle, he refuse to go
Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis, noise in my ear
So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
And though it's smokey and it's
Crowded, they're too civilized to complain
When they've got two weeks vacation,
They hurry to vacation ground (What do they do, Darling?)
They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all year round
So bongo, bongo, bongo,
I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go
Don't want no jailhouse, shotgun,
Fish-hooks, golf clubs, I got my spears
So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
They have things like the atom bomb, so I think I'll stay where I am
Civilization, I'll stay right here

***** Well, the UK is in a pretty bad way in terms of the government and the economy at the moment but British people are still very, very tolerant of most things and religion is a much lesser part of people's lives here than it is in the US as far as I can tell.

Abortion is a deep one, not sure I would go there! Womens rights . . . hmm. Not really an issue here so I've never looked at that one either.

I don't think you should give up on the US of A though. The politics, internal disputes, energy bills, mortgages etc - these things take over your life when you live in a place but I can tell you, from the outside a lot of people ( an all the Brits I know ) have great respect for the USA  - and we both know where most nations will come running to when they need their arses rescuing from an army of fanatics or something.

I got a lot more patriotic when I learned a bit about the first and second world wars. 

It's like both times Britain and France got together and said 'We're not having this, we're getting Uncle Sam.' lol

The UK and France deserve respect for the way they held on against impossible ( almost ) odds and then the USA deserves respect for standing up and saying 'You know what, it's obvious what side we should be on and obvious what we should do.' 

They then proceeded to teach the whole world what a whole new level of industrial military might looked like. Britain was the first country to defeat the Germans but the US absolutely smashed them. You must be proud of that surely? lol

The good people who achieved stuff like that are still there - it's just a shame we seem to have let the bad ones make up our governments and institutions. It all seems to be about money nowadays eh?

Soz, I got carried away there. :-o

The soundtrack, the soundtrack never changes...

@ZackRToler

+Kyle Cross well it would make sense that other radio stations across america would have the same music

@elitecassidy8258

+ZackRToler not really, since there's little to no communication between parts of the US

Yes it would since before the bombs fell, music stations across the nation would be playing some of the same songs. Its that way today. So it is very likely that people would find the same songs in the ruins of a radio station
