You must be playing with your own…

I found the most interesting font of music!

I was reading Spread the Good Word when I noticed this little embedded radio on the side of the blog. Next thing I know, the coolest music is coming out of my speakers!

One of the songs that played was a version of My Ding-A-Ling I had never heard before! Who knew it was Dave Bartholomew and not Chuck Berry that recorded this masterpiece first?

The lyrics are different, and I think DIRTIER!

Dave Bartholomew’s My Ding-a-Ling Lyrics

I have a little girl, her name is Sing
She likes to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling is the cutest thing
When Sing plays with my ding-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Oh my, it’s the greatest thing
My ding-a-ling is the greatest thing
When Sing plays with my ding-a-ling

When you are young and you are on the go
Your ding-a-ling won’t ever get sore
But when you are old and you lost your sting
You don’t need the doggone thing

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Oh my, it’s the greatest thing
My ding-a-ling is the cutest thing
When Sing plays with my ding-a-ling

There’s a little girl, she lives next door
I like to play with her Yo-Yo
She likes to play with my Yo-Yo string
But she will not play with my ding-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
Oh my, it’s the cutest thing
My ding-a ling is the cutest thing
When Sing plays with my Ding-a-Ling

Here’s Chuck’s Ding-a-Ling Lyrics

    Well, actually I knew.

    Bartholomew’s record (on the King label) came out in 1952, and to avoid controversy (!), the title printed on the label was “Toy Bell”.
