MONTE VIDEO - SHOOP SHOOP DIDDYWOP CUMMA CUMMA WANG DANG (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back....... New Zealand band "Monte Video & the Cassettes" released this strange song in 1983. Must say, Without watching the video, I have no idea what this song is about, also I could have sworn the singer was from the UK because of the English accent, seems I was wrong.
To try and make sense of this song you need to know what things mean =

  • Shoop Shoop—singing and dancing at a distance
  • Diddy Wop—drinking together
  • Cumma Cumma—dancing together, with some touching...
  • Wang Dang—close dancing 
  •  
    MONTE VIDEO - SHOOP SHOOP DIDDY WOP CUMMA CUMMA WANG DANG (things are not as it seems)



The Lyrics in case you need them =

Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang

Well the Shoop Shoop stands for the mood you're in
And the Diddy Wop mean let the fun begin
It's a feeling gonna set your senses reeling and you can't sit still
Cumma Cumma mean what you thought, that's right
And the Wang Dang gonna get you through the night time
Baby there's a right time if you wanna lose control

Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang

Shoop Shoop - li'll party, nothing formal
Diddy Wop - she's in the corner, looked quite normal
The Cumma Cumma, empty glass, bold as brass, pinch me, hang about
Wang Dang

Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
She said Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang

Well the Shoop Shoop stood for her mood alright
And her Diddy Wop gave me a nasty fright
Sought of feeling that-a sent me senses reeling and you can't sit still
Cumma Cumma meant what I thought, touche
And the Wang Dang, err, anyway, nearly died, mortified, nearly lost control

Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang

COMPILATION TAPES - 1980 SIDE A (Music Downloads)

Hello and welcome back......A new series of downloads for the Music Loving Audience called "The Compilation Tapes"....We start at 1980.

The year was 1980, we said goodbye to disco and hello to the 80s.

It was also the year when baby Azaria Chamberlain was taken by a dingo near Ayers rock in Australia
On a happier note, Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back & Pacman was released and the question every one was asking......Who shot J.R Ewing on the hit TV show "Dallas".
