@frankv28 It was a subliminal way to make reference to "reefer smoking". "Boo" was an African-American slang for marijuana, and as a novelty/amusement, they made up this story of "Ling Ting Tong", so they could eventually say (sic) "I smokum boo-da-yay, I smokum boo".....and only the hipsters who were familiar with what "boo" was were in on the joke.

Not bad but he's got nothing on the five keys

the five keys did a much better version

If you, like me, feel Buddy should ABSOLUTELY be in the R&R Hall of Fame, please write them a letter or e-mail and request they consider doing this.
Just look for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Google and enter your comment on their site.
Only with our help will Buddy Knox get the recognition he deserves and that is WAY overdue.

a big thank you to Johnny Vallis for his kindness to this remarkable artist. He carved his own destiny and lived life to the fullest.

@emb1st
Amen to that, I had the good fortune of seeing Buddy in person in Toronto in the 1980's, he had his hair in a curly perm then I am not exactly sure of the date, but It was great to see him. I don't know of the Johnny Vallis kindness, could you elaborate on that, Buddy was a particular favourite of mine, I thought he was much underrated, he was a great talent, who left us much too soon. RIP Buddy.
