Onka's Big Moka is the debut studio album by English band Toploader, which was released on 22 May 2000, through S2 Records. Having been recorded between 1998 and 1999, it was produced by long time collaborator of the Manic Street Preachers, Dave Eringa. After its release, the album reached number 4 on the UK Albums Chart and stayed on the chart for six months. The song "Dancing in the Moonlight", a cover of the Boffalongo song, was later featured in television commercials for the supermarket chain Sainsbury's, on the soundtrack of the 2002 American coming-of-age teen romantic drama A Walk to Remember, the 2010 comedy film Four Lions, and the 2019 television series The Umbrella Academy. The album cover was taken at Lancaster Gate, located in the Bayswater district of Central London, while the title is a reference to the 1974 anthropological documentary Ongka's Big Moka: The Kawelka of Papua New Guinea.
