WE LOVE THIS!!! BARRY MANN - WHO PUT THE BOMP (REACTION)

[@dagmar.6954]

This novelty song "Who Put The Bomp" is one of the few songs Barry Mann recorded, as he concentrated more on songwriting. He & his wife Cynthia Weil are part of a successful songwriting team. He has written or co-written 53 hits in the UK & 98 in the US. So many of the songs were huge hits for many famous artists.

[@fansince68]

Barry Mann was a great songwriter in the sixties, i.e. "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" by Righteous Bros and MANY MANY MORE

[@rsherman5993]

This is a great song ...so much fun!

[@cameronwhalley2161]

And "Here you come again", sung by Dolly Parton

Fantastic reaction! I truly expected you both to jump out of your seats and dance like you were at The Hop!

[@kennethroe5376]

I love this old music..it was so simple and magical..easy to understand

[@joannevincent2035]

Oh my! Doo-wah-diddy Diddy-dum Diddy-doo - forever!!

[@sueoorbeck4887]

Loved your reaction. This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Takes me back to when music was REAL. I play it every single day, and can't resist singing along with it and moving to it.

[@kentclark6420]

This music is like the aging of a fine wine. Or cream that rises to the top of the cup.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I haven’t heard this song in about 63 year’s, oh my gosh, I still like it with the memories that come with it. Thank you for playing it and you great reaction’s to it!👍💙♥️👏👏👏

[@Constance8722]

Such a blast from the past! I was born in '53, so this song was certainly a big part of my childhood. Love it! 😍

[@richardmartin9565]

I was 12 or 13 when this song came out. Think ive only heard 3 times since then. We loved it!

[@ajruther67]

I am sooo glad you did this one. I've always loved this song. Totally 50's/60's!

[@psmolek7438]

Wow! I haven’t heard this in AGES!

[@skyepuppy7763]

A friend used this song as a cautionary tale for her kids, who wanted to listen to songs with trashy lyrics. She recited it to them and said, "See? I remember all the lyrics, forty years later. What lyrics are still going to be in your minds forty years from now? Be careful what you listen to." I still remember all the words to the chorus, because it's a catchy, fun, delightful song! What a joy to see your reaction. :)

[@beandean23]

Well then, I guess I have about 5 more years until I forget the words to 'Push It'. 😜

[@rikbas71]

I love your reaction to this song. Been over 40 years since I've heard it outside of my head. Thank you for choosing this song.

[@flash1660]

I remember my sisters playing this in the back yard great song !

[@d.j.starling3559]

Barry Mann was known as a songwriter more than a singer, & along with his wife, Cynthia Weil, wrote many, many hits of the 60s. One of their most poignant, yet lesser known, songs is My Dad. Originally recorded by Paul Petersen, a teenage actor on the early 60s TV sitcom, The Donna Reed Show, the song was introduced on the show when his character sang it, & it became a minor hit. Another version was recorded by Davy Jones, as part of an album he recorded a few years before being cast in his star-making role as one of The Monkees. Lots of truly great songs by Mann & Weil, but My Dad has always been my sentimental favorite. ❤ One of the most perfect songs to react to on Father's Day. 🙂

[@rsherman5993]

I love My DAD too. It is so powerful, emotional.

[@OldMan339]

I remember requesting this song. It's great to see you grooving to it.

[@CharleneRoozRE]

I listened to this so much. It was on an album I had that had a bunch of 'novelty songs'... It was one of my faves.

[@jrdlabs]

Barry Mann is (yes, still alive, age 83) a songwriter, primarily. And, with his wife, Cynthia Weil, wrote some of the most iconic songs in the American songbook. When this song came out, many pop songs were done by vocal groups. It was the Doo-Wop revival of the early 60's. Many, many Doo-Wop songs used 'nonsense syllables' as a staple of the sound of the 50's and early 60's. This sound was so pervasive that some wrote reaction songs about it. This is one of the most popular. Another huge hit that touched on the subject was "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" by the Rivingtons.

[@Howdyall]

Well, we need to dust him off and bring him back!

[@xperiarodriguez22]

Saludos desde Peru (sudamérica) que lindo que haygan reaccionado a esta canción que te llega directo al corazon como lo dice la letra de Barry man

[@bobbondy8104]

Thank you for so much for doing all the oldies great music!

[@Judy0910]

I remember this song when it was out. I loved then and still do. It's a cute fun song!

[@autumnamber6849]

Woo hoo! yes, thank you. Rama lama dingdong is a real song. A really cute song I would recommend is Babysitting boogie. We all love to hear little toddlers mimicking what they hear. Mr. Baseman is another

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Barry Mann and his songwriting partner Cynthia Weil penned a ton of hit songs in the 1960s, including some of the Righteous Brothers biggest hits, "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'," "Just Once In My Life," and "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration." They were also responsible for "Hungry" and "Kicks" by Paul Revere and the Raiders. They wrote "I Just Can't Help Believing" by B. J. Thomas. And they wrote the incredible song "Don't Know Much," made famous by Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt (if you haven't heard that one, drop everything you're doing and go listen right now). They wrote "Magic Town" by the Vogues, and "Just Once" by James Ingram. They wrote "Blame It On the Bossa Nova" by Eydie Gormé. They wrote "Running with the Night" by Lionel Richie, and "We Gotta Get Out of this Place" by The Animals. They wrote the classic "On Broadway" by The Drifters and later recorded by George Benson. They wrote "Only in America" by Jay and the Americans, and "Somewhere Out There" by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram. In short, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil were two of the most prolific and successful songwriters in pop music history. This song was one of Barry Mann's first to hit the charts.

[@debrafischer807]

Gosh it has probably been 50 years since I’ve heard this song! Lol! My grandchildren like these songs…lol!

[@Lamm139]

You really reacted to this sweet and fun song. I love it! In that era they had so much humor and songs made you feel happy.

Haven't heard this song in decades. This was so fun. Thanks!

[@epona1969]

THANK YOU for this reaction! Such a fun song that's playful and instantly puts you in a good mood! Another great one is Remember Then by the Earls, but the Sha-Na-Na version is fun also. Sha-Na-Na . . . there's a group/variety show that will take you down a rabbit hole of oldies!

[@MrNormaltoo]

big hit and great time for music....sweet

[@rs-ye7kw]

Another cute old-time novelty song similar to this one is "Mr. Bassman" by Jonny Cymbal. Check it out.

[@jeffclark7888]

[@stewartmatthews1551]

Oldies baby heck yeah

[@waltjohnson8324]

It took me a while to come around to doo-wop. This is one of the songs that made it happen. Great watching you guys come to the same conclusion.

[@michellearmstrong4900]

Loved your reaction...my first video reaction I watched with you both and I loved it!!

[@CraigTodd924]

My Dad was born in 1953, me in 1988 when he was in his mid 30's so I grew up on alot of these oldies that he listened to in his young life...Thanks Dad for exposing me to great music that maybe otherwise I would've never got into...Love you Dad!!

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Yes yes yes, thank-you, I love this.

[@michelloranger2590]

Music is the language of love

[@russelljoslinjr4387]

What a fun song!

[@brucevidito4923]

I was 7 years old but my sister was 17 so I listened to all of the 60's music. Lol !

[@festidious2644]

My favourite part of that song is the guy in the background with the low, 'yeeeaaahhh'. Before I retired, I used to always listen to our local oldies station at work. I used to sing along and would put one of those into every song that came on.

[@debrabeck9630]

Great song, great reaction. For a sweet and poignant song about these kind of lyrics you might want to listen to the late Jesse Winchester’s song Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding. He performed it live in his later years on Elvis Costello’s show Spectacle, and there was not a dry eye in the house. I think you’ll love it. It’s on KZbin.

Nice doo wop ballad you hadn't.touched yet that has a memorable ending is the Heartbeats- A Thousand Miles away.

[@twentyfiveyears5010]

This is the most ironically self-referential song ever til George Jones recorded "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes." Barry (and his talented wife and partner Cynthia Weil) put the Bomp in some of the greatest songs of the 20th Century, including the most played song of that period. There are legions of men who should be thanking Barry and Cynthia for "making their babies fall in love with them." You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin;" "I Don't Know Much;" "Soul and Inspiration; the list goes on and on.
