Re: Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah
Well, "Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah" (the R&B version) was a hit for Bobb B. Soxx and
the Blue Jeans, protegees of Phil Spector, in 1962 or so. Don't ask me why,
but quite a few British groups picked it up, including Freddie and the
Dreamers and the Big Three (it's on the latter's "At The Cavern" EP). It
was so popular among Liverpool groups that various non-British groups have
covered it including Germany's Rattles, and Japan's answer to the
modern-day Kaisers, the Neatbeats, who do it on their "Far and Near" LP.
