Story Behind The Song
In this song I tried to capture the excitement and suggestiveness of rock n' roll in it's heyday with a bit more modern sensibilities. I had in mind the rumors that circulated about such songs as Louie-louie regarding their "hidden" sexual content.
Song Description
Each verse describes a sexual situation, but with an old-fashioned innocence and good humor. The hook is nonsense syllables that also suggest something sexy. A good party song.

Lyrics
Danga-langa Bop Sh-bop (©2003, m. drumm)
Friday night at the Burger Pit
Jack was just about to quit
When up to the counter came a little jill
Gave him an order he was glad to fill
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
A hot dog and a cherry pop
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
In the park, in the dark, in a parkin' lot
In a station wagon things were gettin' hot
With the tape deck cranked up all the way
You could still hear somebody say
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
Oh baby, baby, please don't stop!
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
Lonesome Linda was an astronaut
She missed male company a lot
"Ground control," she said "It's gettin' bad
Could you please put a rocket on the launchin' pad?"
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
"I can hardly wait till you get it up!"
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
They were on a date, they were startin' to pet
When he saw how late it was startin' to get
"Baby, baby it's a quarter to one
And I can't get this hook undone!"
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
"Whoops, there it goes..." Floppety-flop
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
Boom boom danga-langa bop sh-bop
