Nonsense Word Songs

 Ellie Greenwich, one of the most prolific hitmakers of the 1960s, who was the co-writer of such catchy and enduring pop hits as "Be My Baby," "Chapel of Love," "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "Leader of the Pack," and who was credited with launching the career of singer Neil Diamond, died Aug. 26 of a heart attack at Roosevelt Hospital in New York, where she was being treated for pneumonia. She was 68

While reading a list of songs that Ellie wrote, I noticed "Da Doo Ron Ron" AND "Do Wah Diddy Diddy".
Two songs with nonsense words in the title.
 
Hmmm, so if I made a playlist of songs that had Nonsense Word titles, what other songs could I include?
 
 Here's a quick list of things I've thought of:
 
Gene Vincent - "Be Bop a-Lula" and "Bi Bicky Bi Bo Bo Go"
Beatles - "Ob La Di Ob La Da"
the Muppets - "Mah Nam a Nah"
Dick Van Dyke - "Chim-Chim-Cheree" (from Mary Poppins)
Trio - "Dah Dah Dah" (German electro-pop song used on a VW commercial)
Koko Taylor (and others I'm sure) "Wang Dang Doodle"
The Dixie Cups (and many many others) "Iko Iko"
Steam "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)".
Blind Blake - "Diddy Wah Diddy"
Crewcuts "Sh-Boom Sh-Boom"
John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom Boom Boom" or
Little Richard's "Hey Hey Hey Hey"
Lionel Hampton's "Hey Bop a Ree Bop"
Bad Manners - "Ne ne nah nah no no nu nu" (80's ska band)
Jesse Hill - "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" (sung by  Tina Louise (Ginger) and countless other sex kittens)
James Baskett - "Zip A Dee Doo Dah" (from Disney's 'Song of the South')
 
 The Merry Macs - "Mairzy Doats"
( I know the song, but had to look up the performer)
 
 
What other songs can you think of?
