Talk:Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)

message: I actually came to this very interesting Wikipedia site because I heard the song below last night and wanted to read the lyrics more carefully.  I was very pleased to read the very useful material in this Wikipedia treatment.  At the same time, I had to return to Google to find the verbatim lyrics, which are copied below from the site  http://www.jacquedee63.com/whoputthebomp.html.  (That site appeared to have no specific restrictions on the words below, although it did have a licensing agreement that popped up for a music player.  I leave it to you all to determine what is fair use of the material in re the Wikipedia entry.)  I was particularly interested in the final (spoken) verse, which as I heard it on the radio seemed to use each of the terms as a specific metaphor.  For example, in "You know I mean it from the bottom of my boogity boogity boogity shoo", something like "boogity boogity boogity shoo" would appear to represent "heart" or something a little more extended, rather than purely nonsence syllables.  Note: When I look at the material in the copied version below, I am not totally certain that the words in the lyrics below are identical to the words I heard in the radio version last night, although they are at least pretty close.

I'd like to thank the guy
Who wrote the song
That made my baby
Fall in love with me
Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me 
When my baby heard
Bomp bah bah bomp 
Bah bomp bah bomp bah bomp bomp
Every word went right into her heart
And when she heard them singin
Rama lama lama lama
Rama ding dong
She said we'd never have to part
So.........
Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me 
Each time that were alone
Boogity boogity boogity
Boogity boogity boogity shoo
Sets my baby's heart all aglow
And everytime we dance to
Dip da dip da dip
Dip da dip da dip 
She always says she loves me so
So........
Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby
Fall in love with me 
MIXTURE: Barry SPEAKS: Darlin, bomp bah bah bomp, bah bomp bah bomp bomp
And my honey, rama lama ding dong forever
And when I say, dip da dip da dip da dip
You know I mean it from the bottom of my boogity boogity boogity shoo

message: I removed the "cleanup" template after having cleaned up the article considerably, including:
*removing trivia section and incorporating relevant material into main sections
*removed some irrelevant material
*changing all song titles to use "" in accordance w/ MOS
*adding several references
*adding "Chart performance" section
If anyone still has any concerns let me know via this page (I didn't write the article but I feel some ownership after all my editing - I've spent way more time on this than I ever intended)
Someone had a concern about the parody involving the angel's rectum - but it is a pretty straightforward description based on the lyrics and it even uses the "proper" terminology (I didn't write it) - I added a reference and a link to the official lyrics by the parody's author so that should be OK.
