about

In a partnership with the legendary Rev of "The Fabulous Good Time Party Boys" MWV tell the moving story of how the ancient and mystical power of The Conga transformed the life of the Brazilian captain of the 1994 World Cup winning team.

lyrics

When Dunga went to Tonga
He mislaid his wonga
He lost the plot
When he lost the lot

Somewhere in his madness
He threw away his sadness
And he is sad no longer
Coz he discovered Conga

The power of the Conga
The power of the Conga
It's good for you, it's good for me
The power of the Conga
Everybody Conga
Over land and over sea

World Cup winner Dunga
Felt the calling of Conga
He sold his yacht in Rio
And bought a flat in Onger

He did it with Jane Fonda
In the back of his old Honda
He usually likes 'em blonder
But hey it was Jane Fonda

The power of the Conga
The power of the Conga
It's good for you, it's good for me
The power of the Conga
Everybody Conga
Over land and over sea

You don’t have to buy it lady
You don’t have to buy it … It’s free!

Dunga sang this song
Dancing in his thong
His muisses thought he wronged her
Couldn't  take it any longer

She took up King Kong
Who was marginally longer.  
So Dunga smoked a bong 
And went dancing to the Conga

The power of the Conga
The power of the Conga
It's good for you, it's good for me
The power of the Conga
Everybody Conga
Over land and over sea
