      Just curious, does anybody know of articles and playlists for songs that follow the Rivingtons papa-oom-mow-mow patterns? Were they the first ones using that vocal "riff"?

      The Cramps - "Mama OO Pow Pow". That's a good one.

       

      There were a couple of Mexican versions of "Surfin' Bird" called "Surfin' Trabajo". Can't remember who they were by.

       

      Deke Dickerson - "Surfin' Sanford Bird"   "Lamont ! You big dummy ! Where my glasses at?!".

       

      Beach Boys - Papa oo Mow Mow.

       

      Knowledgeable parties , and even I , myself , agree, The Rivingtons put the whole Bird/Mow Mow in motion.

       

      oh , and don't forget - " Flap doodle mammy doodle kitty kitty kow kow , mapatoodle , papatoodle , oom papa mow mow" ( Fat Freddie's Cat.).
