I was first familiar with the Daddy Dewdrop song, which was also featured on The Groovy Goolies as I was just reminded, but years later decided the title may have been a play on a Carmen Miranda song, unless it was derived from some intermediate mutation, such as by Johnny Cash. Anyway, wondering how many times this phrase has popped in one form or another.

There’s a Johnny Cash album called Boom Chicka Boom, named after a signature rhythmic pattern Luther Perkins frequently played.

There’s also some kind of kid’s book with a related alphabet learning song, both called “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.”

Collectively speaking which are better, the records that start with Boom or the records that start with Chicka?

Kind of a boogaloo beat. Pretty good! From the Bert Stern Bang era, before he fled to Boston on the astral plane.
