Members rasputin1963 Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 Below is the lyric to the 1965 hit "Do Wacka Do" written and sung by Roger Miller. What on earth could this lyric mean? More to the point: Who exactly is the "sing-ee" of this lyric? DO WACKA DO I hear tell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raymar Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'll take a wild guess. The "singee" is Elvis, and the Do-Wacka-Do is his hair style. Next. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkZ Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 I think the first album I owned was Roger Miller "Golden Hits". He was one of kind. "Dang Me". "You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd". Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thefunkman Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 "Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet." - Roger Miller I always thought that "do-wacka-do" was just another of those oh, so clever ways around the old censorship laws...Example: Bing Crosby saying "ever-lovin" instead of "mother-f**in'." So, while Roger wishes he had your happiness, he's also wishing you had *#@, *&^-ing @#*%*!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also figured the singee was Elvis...the Cadillac is the give-away. P.S. Remember WEST SIDE STORY's "On the whole....buggin'.....mother....lovin'....streeeet!" I'm also reminded of that WWI novelty song: "Back In Nagasaki Where The Men All Chew Tobacky (and The Women Wikki-wacki-woo)" P.P.S. From all we know now about Der Bingle, you can BET that in his REAL life, he went ahead and said "motherf$%^in'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rasputin1963 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 Can I be blunt?
