ONE HIT WONDERS …
BARRY MANN
Artist: Barry Mann
Song: Who Put the Bomp (In the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)
Year: 1961
Barry Mann is an American songwriter, and part of a rock music songwriting partnership who with his partner and wife, lyricist Cynthia Weil, operate a publishing company called Dyad Music.
Mann's first hit single as a writer was "She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)," which was a top twenty song for The Diamonds in 1959. Mann co-wrote the song with Gerry Goffin.
Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil met when they were both staff songwriters for Aldon Music, and were married in 1961. Also 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.
