"",..pumped alot of tang down in New Orleans"
Funny... I always thought it was tane. (Octane?)

They'll come back. New Orleans, that is."

It is either 'tane or 'pane, as in window panes. It SURE isn't 'tang. 'Tang doesn't even come close to sounding right. Google comes up with very few hits as 'tang. That ain't it!

I don't know about that. Then there are also two different versions of the song. Ike and Tina sang it different from CCR. Tina did use 'tane and CCR used pain. I think most people on this thread are referring to the original CCR version.This may be where the confusion comes from. Thanks.
