[citation needed] "Boogidy shoo" can be found in the lyrics to "Pony Time" by Chubby Checker, released earlier that year.

[citation needed] Mann was backed up by the Halos,[4] a doo-wop group of its own renown that had a single top-40 hit with "Nag" and also sang on Curtis Lee's hit "Pretty Little Angel Eyes."

"Who Put the Bomp" is an example of a song about the genre it belongs to, in this case doo-wop.

The single debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 on August 7, 1961, and remained for twelve weeks, peaking at #7.

The Viscounts' record was in turn covered by comedians Morecambe and Wise, with the same melody and modified lyrics ("We put the Bomp in the..."); the record was titled "We're the Guys (Who Drive Your Baby Wild)".
