It is... The Woles! Ho-o-o-o-o-owl!: Name that song.

Name that poorly remembered song for me - something about wolves, maybe by 3 Mustapha 3 (but maybe not). It existed on an old mix tape from (I think) about 10 years ago, which may help date it.
Actually, it's for a friend. He writes:
It may or may not be by 3 Mustaphas 3 - I don't recognise the title on any of their albums; though as I can't remember the title this may not be telling.
I have a vague recollection of it having something to do with Korea, though whether this was part of the story or part of the band name I don't know.
It consists [at least in my memory] of music and a man telling a story about a city where the bears attack and the only way to stop their savagery is to keep them dancing night after night. Then the bloke asks: Who is bravest in all the world [the syntax is accurate but I think the specific words were different] and who is alert all the time and who is something else. He answers: It is... the Wolves! Ho-o-o-o-o-owl! Something something something, for the horror and the noise were too much even to imagine, yada yada yada,
the end.

Could it be "Junkie Man" by Rancid? From the album, "...And Out Come the Wolves" from 1995?

Sounds familiar, but I don't have anything like that in my collection. If it's not a 3M3 song, check the discographies of Boiled in Lead and Immigrant Suns, who both combined various ethnic music styles with English lyrics.

It's a Three Mustaphas song called Chilling Tale. If you go and find Three Mustaphas on Amazon.com you can listen to part of it. It's on the album 3Mustapha3 play stereolocalmusic
