Album Description
Available in:
Onka's Big Moka is an album released in 1999 by the post-Britpop band Toploader. The album reached #4 on the UK charts, and a song from the album, "Dancing in the Moonlight", a cover of the King Harvest song, was featured in a television commercial for supermarket chain Sainsbury's and on the soundtrack of the 2002 American coming-of-age teen romantic drama "A Walk to Remember".
The title is a reference to a 1976 anthropological documentary Ongka's Big Moka: The Kawelka of Papua New Guinea. It was being much played in university anthropology departments in the mid-1990s, around when the band members would have been attending.
Toploader are an English alternative rock band from Eastbourne who formed in 1997, with over two million album sales to their name and a string of top 20 hits both home and abroad. Their debut album, Onka's Big Moka, sold over one million units and remained in the Top 5 of the UK Albums Chart for over six months. However, they are recognised most of all for their cover of King Harvest's US hit "Dancing in the Moonlight" written by Sherman Kelly, which became a global hit for the band. Their second album, Magic Hotel, reached number 3 in the UK Albums Chart. Their third album was released in 2012, their comeback single "Turn It Around" was released in 2013.
