Is it just me? Why have I never met a girl named Sloopy, Puddin'n'Tain or Rama Lama Ding Dong?

7. And featuring the world's first rock and roll drummer, even if he didn't know it

3. I've known girls as skinny as a stick of macaroni, but none of then named Bonie Maronie

I guess we live sheltered lives or somethin'...who knows.

9. When I was a kid we could run that Puddin' Tain thing into the ground.

It's just about the height of Southern Kid Obnoxious, along with "My man is red hot; your man ain't doodly squat!" and
"Know what? Chicken squat!" Apparently we "knew squat."

11. Yes indeed! Thanks! People don't believe that Iko Iko and The Clapping Song were kid games

but they were. (I suppose the Clapping Song's kind of obvious). Iko Iko was really a Mardi Gras Indian chant but we played it long before The Dixie Cups made the record. Whoof; I'm so old...

[old mark]

12. That's because: they don't live in no town, they don't live in no city,

they live way down in
Diddy-wah-diddy


I am surprised you didn't know that...

13. And all this time I'd just been looking in towns and cities.... no wonder...

never did go way down to Diddy Wah Diddy...probably, as Amerigo suggested above, just too sheltered a life.
