The credits show it to be written by Larry Coleman, Joe Darion, and Norman Gimbel, without apportioning the work on the lyrics and music, in 1953.
[1] "Ricochet" is one of the songs Teresa Brewer re-recorded in 1962 for her Philips label Greatest Hits album, with a new Nashville arrangement.
A comical version of the song is sung on the Season 4 (1955) episode of I Love Lucy "Tennessee Bound", by "Teensy" and "Weensy", portrayed by the "Borden Twins" (sisters Marilyn and Rosalyn Borden).
[citation needed] An Icelandic version was made in 1978 by a comedy duo called Halli & Laddi.
This version is called "Tvær úr tungunum", and the lyrics are written about two sisters from the countryside in Iceland, going to the capital city Reykjavik for the first time, looking for good time and trying to find companions of the opposite sex.
