Although conventionally spelled "Woyaya" the title is actually "Wɔyaya" (with a backwards-c), which comes from the Ghanaian Akan language. The title song was covered by Art Garfunkel on his debut solo album Angel Clare in 1973. The lyrics to the song "We are going nobody knows..." were written by Annie Masembe from Uganda.
