I first heard this in Vietnam over the AFVN radio network in the late fall / early winter of 1967-68 while serving in the war. The fidelity wasn't good on the AFVN, so I never really knew exactly what they were saying. Never heard it again until I found it on here by shear accident. It still doesn't make a lot of sense, but the nostalgia is priceless!

[@Gosportjohn]

it wasn't meant to make sense, it is just a nonsensical song

Thank you for your service. God bless

Called my new kitten Zabadak after this song, eventually got shortened to 'Zabby'. She died at the age of 22 in 1989 when I was 35. Pretty good innings for a cat. Great songs from Dave Dee and co.

It reached number 1 in Canada, February 17, 1968. The only country in the world where it did that according to wikipedia.

[@surfcityproductions]

I've always thought that Zabadak was one of the most imaginative and brilliant songs of the Sixties! To the haters out there: Relax, sit back, listen, enjoy, and let that repetitive Zabadak chant creep up and capture your spirit. It surely will! Shy, Shy, Skagalak!

[@ColumRogers]

Preach it!

[@factnotfictionpeople1313]

Grew up through the 60's listening to stuff like this. So sad to see that band members (not just DDDBMT) are now succumbing to the ravages of time.... :-(

[@PAULLONDEN]

Indeed ,the violins interlude is pure magic. Although I recognised it at the time as well produced pop, it's not till the 80's that I could bring myself to buy their greatest hits compilations. For a Stones an Pretty Things fanatic that's a huge step to take.Good music is just good music,that's all there's to it.

[@robertvavra414]

This cut has a different a different orchestration than the regular 45. The strings are a little louder in the mix, and I also hear twin flutes.

A great time to be young listening to music like this (i was 20 ) then.

[@gymnastix]

@gymnastix I'm sure younger persons born in the '80s, '90s and the last decade will have their good memories of youth too. But if I had the chance, as in the movie "Groundhog Day," to live one part of my life over and over again, I would choose from 1958 through 1970. Just to have my mom & dad back, and be living in my first home, would be great in itself!

What lovely memories this song brings back! I was only a teenager then and still also watching Blue Peter. With their dream team of Valerie Singleton, John Noakes and Peter Purves. Not to be missed! And when Petra had two puppies, after a naming competition they called them Zebedee and Zabadak! After this song!❤

What?

First time I heard this song I was on my way from Los Angeles to San Diego... circa February, 1968. I was in the US Navy and my Great Aunt was dying of breast cancer.... I was riding a Greyhound Bus and this song started to play.... it's been one of my favorite songs most of my life. Sadly, my Great Aunt passed away shortly after my arrival in San Diego.....four months later, I received my orders for Swift Boats in Vietnam.... I remember thinking... if the breast cancer didn't kill my Aunt, these orders would have. Mark Bell
