OT: Absurd music titles

[wire chief]

A more narrow focus than recent music threads. Can you introduce us to pop songs where the title has made up or nonsense "words". We've all heard In a Gadda da Vida.
And here's something by Little Anthony and the Imperials--SHIMMY SHIMMY COCO POP

"This is one of those examples of improvising lyrics. You know, sometimes you can use the lyric, other times you're in big trouble, because what you write doesn't mean anything. So I set up this drum-machine pad, and I got some chords, and I started to sing into the microphone, and this word came out, which was "sus-sussudio." It just literally came out, at the time... that was back when I could dance, so I kind of knew I had to find something else for that word, then I went back and tried to find another word that scanned as well as "sussudio," and I couldn't find one, so I went back to "sussudio."

"America's astro-nooted kah."

At least that's what I THOUGHT Dinah Shore was singing when she'd strike up that classic, "See the USA in your Chevrolet." I was but a young lad back then, but it was years later that I found out what she was really saying.

Add up: the analog recording plus primitive TV audio, plus Shore's Southern accent, and the result can easily get Astro-nooted. True.

Still waiting for real early Roy Orbison. Somebody?

Great beat, great melody. Just glad I didn't step in it.
