To Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich. For without them, two of the greatest gibberish songs of the modern era wouldn't have been written.
I salute them today for:
Da Doo Ron Ron
Do Wah Diddy
They did not, however, write Diddy Wah Diddy, which would have been a natural progression. That song, however, was written by a Diddley. Definitive cover version by Barry and the Remains. You can argue about the Captain Beefheart version, but you won't get very far.
