Onka's Big Moka is an album released in 2000 by the rock 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.
The title is a reference to a wonderful 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.
