Barry Mann (born Barry Imberman on February 9, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) … Read Full Bio ↴Barry Mann (born Barry Imberman on February 9, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American songwriter, and part of one of the most prolific songwriting partnerships in the world of rock music.
With his partner and wife, Cynthia Weil, they operate a publishing company called Dyad Music. His first hit as a writer was "She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)," which was a top twenty song for The Diamonds in 1959. Mann had co-written the song with Gerry Goffin. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil met when they were both staff songwriters, they were married in 1961. Through the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Mann came up with songs such as "Sometimes When We Touch" and movie scores such as that for I Never Sang for My Father. Weil co-wrote "He's So Shy" with Tom Snow for The Pointer Sisters and worked on projects with Lionel Richie.
In 1961, they wrote and Mann sang a novelty song that made the Top 10 with "Who Put The Bomp", which parodied the nonsense words of the then-recently popular doo wop songs.
In 1987, he was inducted with his wife into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

I work in a 50s diner and this was the first song I heard while opening this morning. Had to look it up, love it
@juliomendoza5850
Where is this diner located at? With music like this I'd be a customer for sure.

@Aleksis Dignard Rockin' Johnny's by any chance? We had one of those at my local mall when I was in high school. I always wanted to work there but they closed down and turned into another clothing store before I ever had the chance.

My Dad used to sing this song all the time when I was a little kid. I never heard the actual song until a few years ago. One of my favorite songs I continue singing today.

This has got to be my favorite doo wop song. It's self aware, a satire of the genre and is still as infectious as any other doo wop song.
