about

The Lenny Kravitz-sounding “The Chaka,” ... Diaz calls out specific cities, 1960s-dance-craze style: Austin, New Orleans and Houston (three places where Diaz has lived). The song’s inspiration came from another country...

“This really cool guy from Nepal and I were having a conversation about sex,” ... “I swear he told me ‘chaka’ is the Nepalese word for sex. Then one day, I tell him I wrote a song called ‘The Chaka,’ and he was like, ‘What’s that?’ I said, ‘You told me it was sex in Nepalese.’ He said, ‘No, I didn’t.’ It was obviously a simple misunderstanding,

‘The Chaka’ is whatever you want it to be.” -Chris Junior, Medleyville.us

lyrics

Chaka, let's all do the Chaka
Chaka, let's all do the Chaka
Anyway you want it Chaka Chaka all night long

Chaka, let's all do the Chaka
Chaka, let's all do the Chaka
Anyway you want it Chaka Chaka all night long

They're doing the Chaka in Austin
They're doing the Chaka in New Orleans
They're doing the Chaka in Houston
Everybody's doing the Chaka

Chaka, let's all do the Chaka

They're doing the Chaka down the river
They're doing the Chaka downtown
They're doing the Chaka to this song
Everybody's doing the Chaka

Chaka, let's all do the Chaka
