In 1973, the Incredible Bongo Band recorded a cover version of a 1959 song, Bongo Rock (The Surfaris' 1963 hit single "Wipe Out" was based on this song) which became a minor hit. The Bongo Band's version was frequently used as a breakbeat in early hip hop, even appearing on the renowned "Ultimate Breaks and Beats" bootleg compilation series.
