Among the funny novelty songs that have risen high in the U.S. charts is the parody number Who Put the Bomp, which pokes fun at doo-wop lyrics. The bop in the bop-she-bop-she-bop and the ram in the ram-a-lam-a ding-dong add to the good-natured ribbing.
This 1961 success was co-written and recorded by Barry Mann (born Barry Imberman) and his wife, Cynthia Weil. The couple never had another hit record of their own but wrote some really good songs for The Drifters, Dolly Parton, The Righteous Brothers and many other artists.
