When I was drinking I used to sing My Ding a Ling. A younger friend of mine went to Idaho hunting with her husband and heard it on the jukebox. She was flabbergasted that it was a real song. She thought I made it up. Chuck Berry rocks.

Chuck Berry's recording of "My Dingaling" (1972) was his biggest hit. However, his version was not the first. The Bees released it in 1954 under the title Toy Bell--and the Spiders promptly came up with an answer entitled The Real Thing (1954).

Thanks. I had not heard the earlier version Toy Bell. I liked The Real Thing also. Almost twenty years before My Ding a Ling.
