The Jayhawks released the first version of “Stranded In The Jungle” in 1955
(This is the same band who would later be known as The Olympics who did Western Movies, Hully Gully and then Big Boy Pete in 1960. They were also known as The Marathons when they did Peanut Butter in 1961; and then as The Vibrations with the 1963 release of Dancing Danny
The Cadets had a smash hit with the tune in 1956
The NY Dolls brought it back in the early 70s
Jethro Tull also touched on the jungle theme in the early 1970s
And in ’73 Kool and the Gang came out with Jungle Boogie
And a few years later, in 1977, Steve Miller brought out “Jungle Love”
