Well, this thread has turned into an exploration of the word "diddey" and similar words...

And that's alright with me since I'm doin much of the turnin :o)

I goggled the word diddley and found this song:

DIDDLEY DADDY

Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.

Well I got a baby whose oh so pretty,
Found her right here in this knock dead city.
Saw somebody kissing my baby last night.
My baby said Jimmy that's all right.

Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.

Baby now baby understand.
Jimmy looks good but he's a happy man.
Roly looks good but he's oh so cold.
That big ol' drummer gonna wreck your soul.

Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.

Two orphan babies were a laying in the bed.
The big one turned to Jimmy and said,
"I love you Jimmy with all of my heart."
Jimmy woke up and tore the place apart.

Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.

Well baby now baby hear my scene.
I wanna know if you do love me.
I love you baby with all my heart.
Oh please don't ever say we will part.

Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
A-be-by-bick-ya-bye-go-go-go-yeah!

The website's name is Chris Isaak Lyrics. So is Chris Isaak the one who wrote this song?

About four years ago I lucked up and bought a great audio tape of Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Bo Diddley. Believe it or not, that's the first time I had ever heard of Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters. One of the songs the three sang on that tape was "Diddley Daddy" with Bo Diddley taking the lead on that song. At the time, I thought that "Diddley" was just a repeat of his name. But as a result of the information found online about the word "diddley", I'm thinking that a "Diddley Daddy" was something like a gigalo or at least a man who was very interested in the ladies, if you know what I mean.

Does anybody know more about the song "Diddley Daddy"?
