There she was right a-walkin' down the street,
Singin', Do wah Diddy diddy dumm Diddy do
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet,
Singin', Do wah Diddy diddy Dumm Diddy do
She looked good, LOOKED GOOD
She looked fine, LOOKED FINE
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind.
Lyrics from the song "Do Wah Diddy" which made a hit for U.K.
R&B, Beat and pop band Manfred Mann but originally recorded in 1963 by the American vocal group The Exciters. Manfred Mann's version, which was more commercially successful, was released in 1964 and spent two weeks at no 1 in the UK Singles Chart and two weeks at the no1 spot in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
By the way, that’s my wife walking along the street at Chadwick Lakes while I was trying to snap anything I saw around me.
lovely light and shade, and a great song to go with it. There was a re-release by another band in the late 1990s - not sure who, but I got blank looks when I asked teenagers why they were singing a Manfred Mann song because they knew it as something else -possibly DJ Otzi from 2001 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7pXQx0EP78&feature=fvwrel or from the movie Stripes from 1981 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AvMNXBGgpg
It looks like a lovely place to walk. I'm amazed that the trees are so green. They are bare around here. I remember the song. I think it was popular here too.
lovely song and image, love those trees!
and your lovely wife
The song of Manfred Mann I still remember from my childhood ( 24 )
