Glenn .. as I began to read your post I immediately thought of Steve Allen ... One I remember best of all was Gene Vincent's "Be Bop A Lula (She's My Baby)" ...
Well Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby
Be Bop A Lula I don't mean maybe
Be Bop A Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.
