about

Thai music researcher Peter Doolan tells us that Gunga Din was the stage name of singer and impresario Nakhon Thanomsap, who performed songs like this one in blackface. The melody here, Doolan points out, is borrowed, incredibly, from American country singer Jerry Reed’s 1957 recording “Rockin’ in Baghdad,” itself an “oriental” pastiche on rock-n-roll, re-Orientalicized by Thanomsap.
