Who lives down in Deepest, Darkest, Africa? First verse in the opening to Kimba the White Lion

" Then I saw the Congo, creeping through the black Cutting through the jungle with a golden track... Listen to the creepy proclamation Blown past the lairs of the forest-nation Blown past the white-ant's hill of clay Blown past the marsh where the butterflies play 'Be careful what you do, or Mumbo-Jumbo, God of the Congo And all of the other Gods of the Congo Mumbo-Jumbo will Hoo-Doo you Mumbo-Jumbo will Hoo-Doo you Mumbo-Jumbo will... Hoo...Doo... you...' " —Vachel Lindsay, "The Congo, A Study of the Negro Race"

"Bongo bongo bongo I don't wanna leave the Congo oh nonononono! Bingo bango bungo I'm so hop-py in the jungle I refuse to go..." —The Andrews Sisters featuring Danny Kaye, "Fallout Civilization"
