[78-L] Dickey Doo & the Don'ts

[Bud Black]

Dicky Doo?  Isn't that a common term for an overly obese guy?  Haven't you
heard the saying, "His belly sticks out further than his dicky doo?"

Yes, folks,
        it's nonsense / novelty, but there still has to be a right answer.
        My Quality copy of "Click-Clack" (1958) lists Dickey Doo as
co-author, however BMI lists "Dicky Doo".  Which spelling is correct?
(I've even heard of a "Richard A Doo" in connection with the group.)
        It is commonly understood that this is a pseudonym for Gerry
Granahan, who was working for the Swan label covertly.  However, BMI
doesn't reveal the author's identity.  It appears to infer that Dickey is
both Gerry Granahan AND Dave Alldred, the rock and roll drummer, because
they list Dicky Doo as co-author on several of Alldred's tunes prior to
his connection with Granahan.  (Here's a database that could stand some
more transparency.)
 
        See the label:

        See the BMI entry for Dickey Doo:

        The "Lee" and "Grant" (generals?) who are co-credited on
"Click-clack" should be Aaron Schroeder and Jerry J Grant, respectively.
