Could you please name the tune that this guy sings on his drive?
What song does "Doo-walk-a-doo" come from?

Hopefully someone here has a bell rung in their minds for them. Thanks. --70.179.161.230 (talk) 04:34, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Look in youtube under "doo wacka doo", and you'll find that Roger Miller in the 60s, and Paul Whiteman in the 30s or 40s, had (different) songs with that same title. In Miller's case, he was basically slurring "do like I do". In the case of the big band song, it was more like nonsense words. As regards the OP's video, it's just weird. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:59, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * When I read this last night I could hear the Roger Miller version so clearly in my head but I couldn't remember Miller's name so thanks for jogging the old grey cells Bugs. In my search I did find this older version from Paul Whitemann from the 1920s . Oddly the way the person is singing it in the weird video posted does bear a slight (very slight) resemblance to the older version. MarnetteD | Talk 22:54, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The big band version I remember is the cover done in the 1960s, by Tony Randall, believe it or not. He had an album of big band songs, which were somewhere on the border between serious and parody. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:52, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

 * What game? The more detailed you can be in your question, the more likely someone is going to be able to provide you with a good answer.  -- Jayron  32  05:39, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
