jofield Lyr Req: Song about fishies in an iddy biddy pool (30) RE: Lyr Req: Song about fishies in an iddy biddy 11 Mar 01


An interesting phenomenon in American popular music, the sudden popularity of nonsense lyrics in the '40s. "Three Little Fishes", "Hotsut Ralson", "Flatfoot Floogie", a wonderful Nat Cole tune called "Ke-mo, Ki-mo", "Mairzy Doats", etc. And now I think on it, bebop's avenue to popular acceptance was through "Ooh-bop Sh-Bam", "Ool-ya Koo", and other tunes that tried to make words directly into music.
