"Zungguzungguguzungguzeng" — Yellowman

Well supported

Yellowman's 1983 record for Henry "Junjo" Lawes, cut with the Roots Radics and titling the album it opens. Its nonsense-syllable hook is one of the most borrowed melodies in the music: it has been quoted, interpolated and sampled repeatedly in hip hop, usually without most listeners knowing where it came from.
