Ricochet (Teresa Brewer song)
"Ricochet" (sometimes rendered "Rick-o-Shay" and also as "Ricochet Romance") is a popular song. 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. In fact, since Coleman and Darion wrote "Changing Partners" the same year, with Darion as lyricist and Coleman as composer, while Gimbel wrote the English lyric for "Sway" the same year, it can be concluded that Coleman wrote the music and Darion and Gimbel the lyrics. Versions. It was included in a 1954 film, "Ricochet  Romance." The best-known version was recorded by Teresa Brewer on July 10, 1953 and released by Coral Records as catalog number 61043, peaking at number 2 on the "Billboard" chart in 1953. The B-side was "Too Young to Tango". "Ricochet" is one of the songs Teresa Brewer re-recorded in 1962 for her Philips label "Greatest Hits" album, with a new Nashville arrangement. In the United Kingdom, the most popular version was by Joan Regan, and other versions were done by Alma Cogan and Billie Anthony. 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). An Icelandic version was made in 1978 by a comedy duo called Halli & Laddi. Halli & Laddi are brothers and comedians in Iceland. 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.
