Daddy Dewdrops-Chick-a-Boom 1972

[rrshadow2]

1972, I would have been in the second grade, I used to love watch the Groovy Ghoulies back in the day

[RegisPPalmer]

@DominickFontana and garageband66, Actually the group title is " Danny Dewdrop "

[psychedelicsam1]

daddy dewdrop is richard monda from cleveland,ohio. b side is a version of john jacob jingelheimer smith

[MrTAFSIYNOT]

NICE!!!!!!

[DominickFontana]

Great job with the video. One small point is that the artist is Daddy Dewdrop, not Dewdrops.

[sczesny46056]

a great and sexy video!

[billdopotto]

WOW! My dad had the old 45 rpm when I was a kid. Used to listen to this all the time. Now I gotta talk the band into doing it :-)

[212729h]

So that's where the wife went . Damn .

[Summer090807]

i was 3 when this was out and danced to the 45 on my Mickey Mouse record player to it

[futhermucker0306]

The Ghoulies version DID mention the bikini. What they did leave out was the girl LOSING the bikini

[teddibearsworld]

Don ya jes luv it?!

[jsteptoe36]

Why would he "Presume" this door, would take him to Africa???!!!

[k77jones]

@jsteptoe36

bcuz there were a bunch of black ppl on the other side of the door.

[mejasond]

@jsteptoe36 The magic of this awesome song!

[WomackPhotoKCMO]

@jsteptoe36 "Dr. Watson...I presume?"....LOOK IT UP!

[rog2002]

this is most definitely the same song in the Groovy Ghoulies cartoon ..(even the chick in the black bikini ;-) )

[mightyfilm]

@rog2002 Not quite. Other than the fact the last verse is a bit different, the Groovie Goolies version had a "weird computer" behind the first door.

[MrTAFSIYNOT]

My favorite parts of this video are at :50 thru :54, 2:13, and at 2:17.  Owwwww!!!!!!

[SeattleLA]

All right, I admit, this song was the very first 45 single I ever purchased, age 10, purchased at Singer Sewing Machines, Los Angeles. In addition to sewing machines, they sold new 45 records. It was 99 cents.

[iuhxsevb]

It cracked the billboard top 40 in april 1971 it peaked at #9

[BBQFanNo1]

Anybody that doesn't like this song is not straight.

[BBQFanNo1]

Cleveland's Richard Monda classic. Now this my kind of music.

[link71711]

great job!

[yomamakunt]

This song sucks so bad The Village People wouldnt cover it and Vanilla Ice would steal it.

[musicman5440]

man this is great! have been looking for this song on and off for sometime now, thanks for posting!!

[Jiltedin2007]

I would have never knew this song if I hadn't have watch the Groovie Ghoulies Cartoons growing up. I love the Frankenstein in those cartoons.

[daddydewdrop]

This is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for the great job You're right about this being different than the Groovy Ghoulies version but I did both versions. I have a new version of the song that I'm just getting started with but I think I need this videographer.

[dandman1575]

Haven't heard this song in ages!!!! Yes I still love it!!! Putting it on my playlist for 71. Check out my channel, and let me know what you think. Thanks for posting!

[Wahchicawah]

daddy dewdrop is my friend's grandpa (Harley Parker) Dick Monda is a great guy and helps with algebra homework haha

[rpatrick100]

I miss the Slutty 70's.

[evensout]

lol that was great, nice slide show!

[JAYHAWKER48]

yeah that is where i first heard this song! the groovy ghoulies!! remember all those great cartoons that had music with them like this cartoon and the archies, the jackson 5 and osmond cartoons, scooby doo and the others!

[hopefloats57]

love the song but I could do without the half-dressed bimbo

[cen22824]

@hopefloats57 I agree!!

[BrianMChampion]

Just think: the girl in the bikini from 1972 would be about 60 now.

[alwayssme]

[dougeroonie]

Gotta love Youtube!!! Well, the cool people that use Youtube!!! LOL Thanks a million!!! I was 9 yrs old then and remember hearing this song. Didn't know what 'they' were singing about, but it's great to SEE IT!!!!

Rock On!!

[loujh01]

@dougeroonie

Hello dougeroonie, Lou here,Daddy Dewdrop is talking about in the song CHICK A BOOM

(Don't You Jez Love It) is a wet dream.I'm surprised the FCC didn't

ban the song from the airwaves.But you gotta admit...It's a great song.

[roll1080]

Love it !!!!!!! (The chick in the black bikini, and the song that I haven't heard in a while)

[Mammalmage]

I think I liked the GG version better

[pnfkwfl]

Do you have a link to GG's version?

[Mammalmage]

You do know by GG I meant Groovie Ghoulies, right?

[Starrman69]

Wow!  I haven't heard this one in years!

They don't play it on the oldies stations.

[FB1BB1BB1]

My favorite song in 8th grade. 1970-71.

[kittyprydekissme]

Despite what you said in the description, I think the Groovy Goolies version did mention the 'chick in a black bikini'.

[ringocrowley666]

the dirty 70's! love those goolies

[signorgelato]

In response to garageband66, this nuzo song was VERY popular in I believe '71. It went up to #3 or so, at least in the WABC countdowns back then. Dontcha jus' miss this kinda stuff?

[pheatetr]

Yes, I think you're right! I heard it on 77WABC too back then and loved it. I just this this stuff!

[pinkeyegasms]

LMAO! i havent heard this song in a GAZILLION years!

[vinnyhoags]

Ah great, I'll have this song in my head for the next month. Great stuff though. Thanks bigtime.

[cobera3]

i wish i could go back just for 1 day 12 years old again lol

[blakmal1]

This brought many happy memories. I was about 11 when this came out. AAAhhhh the '70's.

[garageband66]

Yep, the 70's have been great.

[fantasybballnut]

@blakmal1 i think i was about 15...

[shirls2]

A Great song love Shirlsxx

[senorspark]

Awesome job on your video - I'm sure this is what Daddy Dewdrop totally had in mind

[garageband66]

You'd think so. It's a wonder AM radio did not try to ban it.

[besping]

@garageband66 They did. :)

[TL250Rider]

1971 This song came out

[garageband66]

The year was credited off of a website. Perhaps 72 marked its highest point on the top 40/100? That is usually how it works.

[joefax530]

@garageband66 Nope, it entered the Billboard Top 40 in April 1971 and got to #9.

[BBQFanNo1]

@TL250Rider it was released in june '71

[y0utubemetube]

Great video compimented a fine song.They don't play songs like this anymore.Picture of Babes in bikinis - loved the hot babe at 1.46.Magnifique!

[dcassidy74]

Awesome,Just Love it

Who is that a picture of ? Far out Cat

Befor Little Richard?One CRAZY lookin dude.Thanks for the trip back to the early 70's

[garageband66]

Shared off of flickr. get a membership and search "far-off cat".

[hotstuffandicecream]

Growing up in the 70's.........yea BABY. I did love it and still do. The 70's was the best 10 year era in Rock music ever. thanks for a great memory song !

[Hellesbelle]

Fun stuff - been there, done that...lol.

[nevadasestamibi]

I love this song. I remember cracking up hearing it on the radio when it came out and thinking it was a takeoff on Eric Burdon's "Spill the Wine."

[spy4863]

By the way, garageband66, not to be nit-picky or anything, but it's Daddy DewDROP-no"s" at the end. Thanks again for making this fantastic video!

[spy4863]

Actually, Garageband66, the original "Groovy Goolies" version of this song DID mention about "a girl in a black bikini". The "girl" was Witch Hagatha and the "bikini" was actually an 1890's-style bathing suit!!

[nailclippers3]

Oh frig yeah,i remember my dad bought a new 1971 dodge truck that year and that song was on the radio in the truck,lol.

[77pintoboy]

Sorry to burst your bubble but this was popular in 1971,not 72

[hobokenplayboy]

Yes. You are correct! Spring 1971.

[spy4863]

Man, this is one of my favoritist songs of all time, and I love your video!! Of course, when I picture this song I do it alot more risque'! I've been working on a script for some years now for a live-action movie of MAD magazine's "Spy vs Spy" that will be rated "R" and have plenty of comedy, music, sex, drugs, violence, language, nudity, etc.! In two of the scenes, The Lady Grey Spy sleeps with first The White Spy, then The Black Spy, and in both scenes, "Chick-A-Boom" is the song played!

[kimwildelover]

WOW - Talk about bringing back childhood memories! I loved this song when I was in 4th Grade! I remember it was played quite a bit on Dr. Demento a few years later. Thanks for the memories! And thanks for the pics too!!!

[garageband66]

It's amazing what pops up when you google "black bikini".

[silverballs4]

I just can't belive i bought this record! nice pictures though!!!

[garageband66]

Yes you did! thanks for the view.

[spy4863]

I bought the record "Chick-A-Boom too! Not when it first came out, but more recently-I found a copy of the original single, backed with "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmitt" last summer at a resale! Amazing what kind of treasures you can find when you shop at garage sales and thrift stores!!

[arpeggioh]

OMG, I think that's the original 45 I heard in 1971 when I was ten years old, and an older cousin had to "entertain" me for the afternoon...so he played this record! Assume the B side was by the same artist? god, what a trip...I'm so old...!!

[spy4863]

Aww...I don't think you're that old! You can't be much that older than me! I'm in my 40's and I don't think I'm old! Just ol enough to be able to brag about being around when some of these great classics first came out! I found a copy of of this single about 6 months ago at a resale. On the "B" side is "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmitt" also by Daddy Dewdrop. In the very unlikely event that you are not familiar with this song, it's an old campfire favorite.

[BadNews88]

Awesome and yet another RAVE-FAVE!

Didja know that the FIRST time the masses heard this ditty was NOT the Daddy Dewdrop version on radio...but on Saturday Morn TV..as 'the song of the week' on an animated programme called "The Groovie Ghoulies", and played by soemthing called "The Rolling Headstones".

Okay version, I guess...but THIS is FAR better!

Thanx, m8..

[garageband66]

You're welcome and yes very aware of the cartoon version.

[saltwaterebel]

dewdrops always kinda reminded me of simon stokes. remember "captain howdy"?

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Great song and video!

Thanks for the memories and the hot babes!!

George Vreeland Hill

[garageband66]

It's amazing how many hits come up when you search black bikini under images.

[JaFK67]

Yes I do love it awsome

[garageband66]

Thanks for the comment and the view!

[skinnyblinddude]

Good stuff! I'd love to see what you might do with WAR's Spill The Wine (LONG VERSION)!

Thank you : - )

[garageband66]

It'd probably be censored. But it is intriguing though.

[ValsHere]

Good one there quite the tune!! yikes I still remember the lyrics.

It was nice to hear that song again.

Cheers!!!

[garageband66]

Thanks for the view!

[rslitman]

Keyboard player on this was Tom Hensley, who has been a keyboard player in Neil Diamond's band since the mid-1970s.

[garageband66]

I saw Neil's interview for his latest album, he looked kind of feeble and needed direction getting on and off the stage but seemed better while performing. Is Tom still with the band?

[rslitman]

Yes, he's still with the band. They are probably just coming on the stage right now in Omaha for the 4th concert of their North American tour. You can go to Tom's web site, diamondville daht com, for tour updates.

[garageband66]

Thanks!
