1025. Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini (Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss)

This novelty song tells of a girl who is daring enough to wear a bikini, but too shy to actually let anyone see her in it.

It was first sung by Brian Hyland in June 1960, with orchestra conducted by John Dixon, and reached number one on the Billboard Chart. It did well in several other countries, including the UK, where it reached Number 8 on the Singles Chart. It was covered by Connie Francis and later by Bombalurina. The Gummy Bears have also had a go at it!

I recorded this with my sister, Annette, on my recent visit to New Norfolk, near Hobart, Tasmania.

I rarely have the chance to sing with my sister, so we always enjoy it when we do get the opportunity.

I just love the woman's voice!

Thanks, Jennifer. Your comments are always welcome. Singing with my sister and her family was very enjoyable. I don't get a chance to see her that often.

Your sister was so cute in this! You make a fine pair.

What I think I like most about your videos is how much you obviously enjoy making music -- your smile at the end is a perfect capper. Never stop!
