David Seville, “Witch Doctor”, 1958

“Witch Doctor” by David Seville (little big band Halloween, anyone?) sees almost 7x more views than the rest of the year, and probably because you can’t help but have fun with those lyrics. Walla Wall bing bang!

"Hey witch doctor, give us the magic words! Alright, you go: Ooh, eeh, ooh, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang. Alright! Ooh, eeh, ooh, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang} Ooh, eeh, ooh, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang.} (repeat x3) . I told the witch doctor, I was in love with you I told the witch doctor, I was in love with you And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do He told me: Ooh, eeh, ooh, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang Ooh, eeh, ooh, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang"

“Witch Doctor” reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958 and was ultimately ranked as the #4 song of the year. The song was famously covered by Alvin and the Chipmunks. The chipmunk-like voice is this version of the song is in fact David Seville’s (real name: Ross Bagdasarian Sr.) real voice sped up to double the speed. This is how Alvin and the Chipmunks was created.

You may want to thank him, or curse him, depending.
