Agh! No more! Stop it! The only things worse would be "Shout", "State of Shock" or Yoko Ono's "Kiss Kiss Kiss".

How about these?

Mope-Itty-Mope--The Boss Tones (1959)

I Can't Go On--Dion & the Bellmonts (1958)

Hootie Sapperticker--Barbara & the Boys (1958)
Believe it or not, this was a hit in Southern California.

Dion is releasing a new album (duets). He’s put 3 tracks on youtube so far

A few years ago they put an out album from the vault he recorded in the mid-60s. Some tracks were released but it never came out then as album.

I had not heard “Hooty Sapperticker” the short sax instrumental was good. There should have been more of that. Barbara’s voice sounds awful (and she doesn’t really sing), despite being from an era filled with sweet sounding women.

It is no wonder that “I Can’t Go On (Rosalie)” makes it on NONE of the Dion & the Belmonts collections. “Moptity Mope” actually sounds like it might have inspired the Del Shannon B-Side “The Wamboo” (”Hats Off to Larry”)

Two other novelty songs that are unlistenable are “B-B-Bird is the Word” and “Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb” (though the video is watchable because Connie Stevens is SO cute!). Both of those were big hits!
