D is for... Do Wah Diddy Diddy
"Do Wah Diddy Diddy" is a song written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich and originally recorded in 1963, as "Do-Wah-Diddy", by the American vocal group the Exciters.
It was soon covered by British R&B, Beat and pop band Manfred Mann. Manfred Mann's version, which was more commercially successful, was recorded on 11 June 1964, released on 10 July, and spent two weeks No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in August, and two weeks at the No. 1 spot in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in October.
There's not a lot of information about this song, other than it has been covered by MANY others.
So I'm just going to leave you with the lyrics and youtube and you can enjoy today's earworm :)

There she was just walkin' down the street
Singin', "Do wah diddy, diddy, dum diddy do"
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet
Singin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do"
She looked good, she looked fine
(Looked good, looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind
Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me
Singin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do"
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be
Singin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do"
We walked on to my door
(Walked on, my door)
We walked on to my door
Then we kissed a little more
Whoa, oh
I knew we was falling in love
Yes, I did and so I told her
All the things, I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're together nearly every single day
Singin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do"
We're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay
Singin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do"
Well, I'm hers, she's mine
(I'm hers, she's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime
Whoa, oh
I knew we was falling in love
Yes, I did and so I told her
All the things, I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're together nearly every single day
Singin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do"
We're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay,
Singin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do"
Well, I'm hers, she's mine
(I'm hers, she's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do, we'll sing it
Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do
Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do.
