Papa Oom Mow Mow by the Rivingtons. Have you ever heard this song from 1963? How do you think it would go over today?

It hit #48 on the charts.
It has been covered by many artists, including The Beach Boys (featured in the movie Beach Blanket Bingo), The Chipmunks, The Thunderbirds, The Deviants, Gary Glitter, The California Raisins, and The Persuasions.

Here it is live by the Beach Boys.

I remember it well. It was a popular song when the dance "The Twist" was popular.
I believe that it was one of my very first vinyl albums along with the Tijuana Brass album that I had.
Of course the kids loved singing along to this song. After all, the words were easy to remember. Hehe 😂

This was my farorite TJ Brass song.

@Daniela1982
I was only 9 years old when I bought this original album. I had a little record player in my bedroom. The song you played was my favorite song too. It gets kinda emotional huh? I think that's what I liked about it 😉

[sage2021]

Thank you for the MHO Babe 🙂

[Daniela1982]

Yep, had the record in my collection at one time. I think the Beach Boys won out in popularity though.

Yes, I have the Beach Boys Live album. It is on that.

You could not write a song like this today.

[AI Opinion]

Yes, I'm familiar with "Papa Oom Mow Mow" by the Rivingtons. It's such a fun and catchy tune! If it were released today, it might resonate with those who appreciate retro vibes and novelty songs. These kinds of songs often gain popularity on social media platforms where nostalgia and unique tunes can quickly go viral. Cover versions by iconic groups like The Beach Boys help keep it relevant. 🎶

[Lliam]

That wasn't the question.

[Sevenpointfive]

i like the dancing monkeys.

[Lliam]

Right. I couldn't stop watching those.
Would that be considered racist?

[KrakenAttackin]

Everything is racist.

[Sevenpointfive]

or was it racist for the Rivingtons to don those monkey suits first?

[MK1997]
