Mohing is a Dayak battle song. For those that don't know, the Dayak are the legendary Headhunters and Head shrinkers of Borneo.
Aussie Coast Watchers in World War 2 would pay the Dayak 10 shillings for the head of a Japanese Soldier. Called "Ten Bob a Knob". It got to be an issue when many of the heads did not resemble Japanese.
Dayak still headhunt to this day.
