Ron Wheeler quoted (in part] from good old Wikipedia...
(Despite authoritative claims that Armstrong recorded a version
entitled "Happy Africa", this could not so far be substantiated from
his discography.
Dear Ron,
Perhaps this came about from the fact the the words "Happy happy
Africa" are contained in the lyrics sung by Louis and others on vocal
versions of "Skokiaan".
You know what musicians are like when it comes to recalling tune tiles.
"Let's play that song.....you know.....Happy Africa."
Just kidding.
Almost.

Kind regards,
Bill (currently humming that old Dixieland favourite "Harpers Date".
