===================================
"My Ding-a-Ling--Chuck Berry vs."Happy-Go-Lucky-Me"--Paul Evans


Pass. Hate the first one (I know it was very popular, so no offense to anyone who likes it), don't know the second.


===================================
"On Top of Spaghetti"--Tom Glazer

Not sure if I've heard this exact version, but it's a cute song.


===================================
"Pink Shoelaces"--Dodie Stevens

Don't know the other one.


===================================
"Monster Mash"--Bobby (Boris) Pickett



===================================
"If You Wanna Be Happy"--Jimmy Soul


===================================
"Little Arrows"--Leapy Lee


===================================
"Mr Bass Man"--Johnny Cymbal

I remember hearing a song called "I'm a Nut" when I was in Girl Scouts, but I think it may have been a different song.

"Who Put the Bomp"--Barry Mann
