Manfred Mann - Do Wah Diddy (1964)

[petergarofalo]

I saw them at Lowestoft in 64, I'd worn out my "45" copy of this, they were unbelievably good and I loved their Rn B covers, Hoochie Coochie, Mojo etcc

I managed to get on stage & sat under the grand piano,( manfred played his pianet )

A lovely memory.

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

I swear Paul Jones is the king of Maraca playing :-)

[brutalabyss]

one of the greatest songs ever i am 25 and this is still my favorite

[RoyFive]

Bassist Klaus Voorman went on to design The Beatles Revolver LP cover.

[StankRush]

Ladies and Gentlemen  PLEASE stand UP !!! for the Ned Flanders National Anthem

[FaerieCrone]

@StankRush I diddly doodly will neighbour!

[yaseo07]

i have to sing this song for my music class!

[postoffice56]

One of the greatest bands in the world; Paul Jones one of the best frontmen

[allanscot1]

This was in the charts when I was born and boy, does it look old! Great song though, and a wonderful band. If you ever get the chance see the Manfreds, a lot older but still loads of talent.

[M1dn1ghtT0k3r1]

dis is fresh da oldies are fresh as hell

[MrJakeunderhill]

[singingeverett]

[Wikino23]

[spj222]

My Jazz choir is singing this song for the Brandon Jazz Fest !

[alibean101]

my mom used to sing this to me when I was just a child...I know all the lyrics, even though it's this old.

[OurSadisticSelves99]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHH!

[Tonithenightowl]

The 6th grade. Music like we had never heard. Magic and it was from England. The British Invasion and not a shot was fired lol

[bobbymoya]

Probably one of the most successful cover songs ever, along with "I'll Always Love You" , "Unchained Melody", "La Bamba" and "The Loco-Motion" (latter a number 1 hit 3 times!).

"Doo Wah Diddy" originally recorded by The Exciters

[rockprincess233121]

[VoLcOMKiKfLiP619]

OMG!! I'm 15& I love this song. My dad and I used to sing this ALL THE TIME. love it.

[JeniDiver]

Gads what an inane song. I love it!! Have for so many years.

[collinsup]

Well. Here's a story for ya'll xD 15 and I love this song.

[EmeraldFlowsion62]

You have to think this song really popularized the mid 60s garage song and Organs in general for teens back then....so catchy.

[svenswart]

The six people who hate this probably didn't like the picture quality.

[vinegaroon1]

They need to toss out the national anthem and make this the new one.

[MrDozah]

These times you dont need any skill to sing , you just do studio version where everything is done behind a computer to make you sound good . At least then you need to have some skills to sing! And how can 6 ppl dont like this amazing song!!!!!!

[Knett1990]

@MrDozah you really don't need to be a genius to come up with the lyrics from this song..

[theoriginalbadbob]

@Knett1990 Yeah, but you do need to be a genius to write the music, arrange it, and sing it.

[jmbtotal]

Me entran unas ganas de liorar escuchando ésta canción.....¡Que nostalgia! Lo que daría por volver a vivir aquella época. Mis años de adolescencia y juventud. ¡Ay Dios, que triste no ser joven ya.....!

[Luzdelaluna2]

loool omg i sang this as a child =]

[IrishAmerican1234]

I LOVE THIS SONG ! But I hate how they try to make rap versions of this song.....

[eemjmm]

Copies dont get there --this is it

[northendnorman]

one of my favorite songs of all time!!!!

[leoseries]

Do this at a Karaoke with an audience who remember the sixties and you will go down a storm!

[petereuropa]

[alonenjersey]

Forty-five years old and it's still a "feel good" song.

[Tonithenightowl]

@alonenjersey One of my all time fave's. Can still get up and boogie to it lol This was MUSIC !!!!!!!!

[mc2NY]

One of those amazing flawless hit singles. Just a perfect pop song. I always found it funny that the band is named after the keyboard player. I don't even know the singers name :)

[lyndloo]

the singers name is Paul Jones and when he left the band a guy called Mike D'arbo replaced him great song Love it!!!..Lyndloo..

[Babyhowdy233]

That is the great Paul Jones, who IMHO is the ONLY person who can sing this classic song!!! I loved his "Pretty Flamingo" too!

[kmryan182]

Man, I never knew who sang this song, thanks!

[LastingLegacy]

that has to be one of the best songs ever created by a human being

[alibenski]

CLASSIC!!! thanks for this!

[shannonD68]

Bruce Willis did a cover of this song. (Just a little trivia.)
