Um Bongo is a mixed tropical fruit juice drink in the United Kingdom, manufactured by Gerber Foods Soft Drinks Limited under the name Libby's.
It is particularly famous for its long running (sung) slogan of "They Drink It In The Congo", used with the accompanying animated television advert since the 1980s.
For a short period of time in the 1990s, Um Bongo was renamed Um Ognob as a marketing ploy. This soon reverted.
Further to this there is no conclusive evidence to say that Um Bongo has ever been drunk in or around the Congo[1].
Song Lyrics
- Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.
- The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo", Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.
- The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets that the whole caboodle landed in.
- So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!
The song was sung by Tony Jackson, a member of the band 'Rage', best known for their 1992 number 4 chart hit, "Run to You".
