zipadeedoodah
My wife asked about this song and I said immediately it came from the Disney film 'Pinnochio'. It seems it didn't but why do I remember that? And I'm not the only one.

Wrong movie, right producer. It's from Song of the South, which I saw in a drive-in when I was little. A somewhat problematic film now.

Now, *there's* an understatement!

Yes, I know it's from 'Song of the South' but where did I hear it? I've never seen 'Song of the South'.

Well, it won an Academy Award for "Best Song," and I'm sure its use has been disambiguated from the film many times (commercials etc.). I saw Song of the South when I was quite young -- probably on its re-release in 1986 -- but I'm sure I knew the song even before that.

The song was ubiquitous when I was a kid, in the 1950's and early 1960's, John.

You heard it at a party at somebody else's house in the late 80's - I'm not exactly sure of the time - and hummed it, and did little else, for several weeks.
Anything else of similar nature I can help you with, just ask.

You could have heard any number of renditions on the radio. The Wikipedia entry on the song lists more that 30 performers who have recorded it, from Louis Armstrong to Miley Cyrus. The Hollies, Freddy and the Dreamers, and the Dave Clark Five all did versions back in the Sixties.

Somehow the idea of The Dave Clark Five doing Zipadeedoodah is exquisitely ludicrous. But it has to be one of the more insidiously catchy tunes ever perpetrated on impressionable young minds.
The old guy in movie clip sounds like he’s lip-synching Bing Crosby.
