what a proud father John Kongos must be to have produced such talented sons . I love John's earlier stuff, He's gonna step on you and tokoloshe man in the early 70s, grateful Noreen Faruga United Kingdom!

[Godfleshv]

A rare thing, a band that carves out its own ORIGINAL sound, and writes good tunes along the way.

[bowpilot]

Life cant get any better than this for John Kongos... four supremely talented sons, following in his footsteps.. Nothing can possibly compare ....

[jennewmark]

These guys are incredible. I have a three song rule: I have to hear three songs I like before I buy the album. KONGOS passes. Accordion, five string bass, killer guitar and kick-ass percussion. Sick talent, guys!

[julesroy]

I love the way this was made.... the camera placements and the way their footage was put together...
The song fits so well with the video and the energy of the song bleeds through this performance and it's assembly....
Simply AMAZING!

[utkucetinkaya]

2 years after that song.They came up with song called “I Want to Know”.Some legend says they still searcing for the truth

[terrijlange]

The very first time I heard "Come With Me Now" I went out and bought Kongos
Lunatic CD. There is at least 4 of the songs on that CD that should be playing on the air. I just love the way they have the cameras set up on all the band members during "Hey I Don't Know, " it is so cool to watch! Money well spent on this album!!!!

[theartofts]

First band I've discovered worth listening to for years!

[dianaconstant]

I bought some shirts at a garage sale. They were destined for a play. Among all the shirts, there was one that caught my attention. There was a man with an apple and looking through a book. On the back of the shirt, said the name of this band. I looked it up on the internet and it's how I got here, great music. Casualities that give pleasure.

[MegSilver]

The only band who can do disco and rockabilly at the same time... Epic.

[nwom]

 Hey everybody, shall we just go and see these guys live... like right now?

[WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

GoPros and groovy road trip music. Win.

[candy]

Absolutely love this band, first heard the acoustic version of this song on a local radio station and now I'm obsessed with them!

[bradmichael]

Just discovered these have half their songs already...did not disappoint.... and I hate listening to the same groups songs back to back but not theirs... so much range...love it...like CCR meets rock meets blues jazz in a shaker... not stirred. 

[Achlys]

This is a band I'd fangirl over. I am not ashamed of this.

[sinistergrey]

I swear these guys are one of the best bands I've heard in a LONG LONG time, I can only hope record labels and their B.S. "producers" don't F*** with anything this band does AT ALL! as they have lightning in a bottle! their album "Lunatic" is amazing from start to finish and you don't have to skip a single song! 

[brucereinhardt]

I'll second that "This song kicks ass"

"Hey I Don't Know" ~ Kongos

Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
I should have thought
I could have thought
Before I cast that stone

The waves radiate far and wide
There's a ringing in my ears
For a minute
I think I'm going blind

Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
The crown weighs heavy
Heavy as I sit back in my throne

I say hey, it wasn't me
I'm just a pawn
But the devil's not into details
Where have all the heroes gone?

Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?

The dream is broken
Now the mind must be woken

So what are you waiting for
Tell me what's the hesitation?
What are you waiting for
Tell me what is the delay?

Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?

The victor earns the title "The Great"
All the mysteries get unlearned
All the history just becomes a string of dates

The hordes overrun in a clean sweep
Destroying everything that was built
Where's the glory in making mothers weep?

Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?

The dream is broken
Now the mind must be woken

So what are you waiting for
Tell me what's the hesitation?
What are you waiting for
Your special invitation?
What are you waiting for
Tell me what is the delay?

Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me?
