Download Witch Doctor Song

"Witch Doctor" is a 1958 American novelty song written and performed by Ross Bagdasarian, under his stage name David Seville. It became a number one hit and rescued Liberty Records from near-bankruptcy.[1]

In the song, the singer asks a witch doctor for romantic advice, the witch doctor responds in a high-pitched squeaky voice with a nonsense incantation which creates an earworm. The technique developed in this song for the voice of the witch doctor was later used for the creation of the voices of the Alvin and the Chipmunks.

David Seville wrote the song, inspired by a book titled Duel with the Witch Doctor on his bookshelf. In the song, the narrator asks a witch doctor for advice on what to do because he has fallen in love with a girl, and the witch doctor replies with a gibberish line: "Oo-ee, oo-ah-ah, ting-tang, walla-walla bing-bang".[2]

Seville had spent 200 dollars, a significant sum at that time, on a tape recorder,[3] and he conceived of the idea of recording himself at different speed to create a dialogue between him and the witch doctor. He sang in his own voice as normal, and then overdubbed the song with the voice of the "witch doctor", which is in fact Seville's own voice sung slowly but recorded at half speed on the tape recorder, then played back at normal speed (the voice was therefore sped up to become a high pitched squeaky one).[2][4] Seville recorded the music first, and then experimented with the process for creating the singing voice for two months before recording it in the studio.[2][5] It was said that when Si Waronker from the financially-troubled Liberty label heard the resulting song, they released it to reach the shops within 24 hours.[6]

The same technique used for creating the voice of the witch doctor was used in Seville's next song "The Bird on My Head", and then more significantly the highly successful Chipmunks (also known as Alvin and the Chipmunks) beginning with "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" released for the Christmas of 1958.[4] Initially released under David Seville alone, "Witch Doctor" was also released under the name of David Seville and the Chipmunks, and re-recorded under the name Alvin and the Chipmunks. The technique was also imitated by other recording artist such as Sheb Wooley in "The Purple People Eater",[5] and The Big Bopper, who parodied both songs on "The Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor", which was originally released as a single, but it was its flip-side "Chantilly Lace" that became the hit.[7]

The song has gained further popularity due to multiple covers performed by Alvin and the Chipmunks, another David Seville creation. The first was for their 1960 album Sing Again with The Chipmunks, which would later be adapted into a musical segment on The Alvin Show. In 1983, they would perform this song on the Alvin and the Chipmunks episode "The Chipmunk Story" and the soundtrack Songs From Our TV Shows. The Chipmunk Adventure (1987) featured the song when sung by Mrs. Miller. The song was used for the opening of the 1990 TV special Rockin' Through the Decades in the style of various artists. In 1996, a dance mix cover was recorded for the album Club Chipmunk: The Dance Mixes.[citation needed]

An accompanying music video was produced, featuring both live-action and 2D animation, depicting the band members visiting a witch doctor. Lead singer Toonie urges the rest to see him, but they are all reluctant. After the witch doctor gives them the famous nonsense lyric, the group enter the house and follow the witch doctor into a TV and out the back where they all fall off a cliff, but miraculously land unharmed on the ground. The band follow the witch doctor into a ship shaped like a giant microphone and fly through the sky, underwater, and in space. The witch doctor transforms into Elvis Presley who drops them off atop a building with a sign reading "Toonie-Wood", before he declares his love for the band and says goodbye.[19]

I've have a certain move in my head and all I see is a male I think and I can hear the song ' witch doctor' playing in it but I cant find the movie anywhere or the scene and everyone looks at me crazy when I try to explain it!!!!

This song does have pulses that were predictable because I knew what to expect because the same notes kept being hit. It all worked though because of the excellent tune and notes being played. It also worked because of how talented all of the women were. The melody stayed the same throughout the whole song. Even when the saxophones and trumpets were playing their solos, some of their solos even had the notes in them. Especially the first trumpet solo and the first saxophone solo. It almost sounded like they had the same solo to play, just different instruments. The notes were very short and since the were basically the same, this would be a very good song to dance to, because we would know what is coming. So we would know how to move to the song. The whole song has a very fast, uptempo pace to it. With the notes happening very quick and dynamics being loud. The article we read said the women liked to play the music very fast, because when they played fast, they played better. A lot of singing happened during the later parts of this song. The trumpets would swing back from notes to notes. The syncopation in this song has to be the soloist and the main melody playing together. To me it just sounded like the melody really accented well with the soloists. The notes went together well.

It was my turn to choose the song and I originally had something entirely different in mind. When I sat down at my computer to email Suzy and Marsha my song pick, my kids starting singing the chorus to Witch Doctor which prompted me to play the song in full. Within about 15 seconds, my entire family was bouncing around and singing along at 6:00 a.m. It was definitely a super fun way to energize ourselves for the day. I dare you to listen to the song and try not to dance and sing along! And then I challenge you to create an outfit inspired by it.

Witch Doctor is a 1958 novelty song written by American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor Ross Bagdasarian who is best known by his stage name David Seville. Bagdasarian was born on January 27, 1919, in Fresno, California, to Armenian-American parents. He served 4 years as a control tower operator during World War II, rising to the rank of staff sergeant. A duty station in Seville, Spain, inspired his future stage name.

"Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve samples an obscure orchestral arrangement of the 1965 Rolling Stones song "The Last Time." The Verve had to sign away most of the royalties before they could release the song.

"Witch Doctor" is a song performed by Ross Bagdasarian Sr., and released in 1958 by Liberty Records under the stage name David Seville. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was considered a major surprise hit on the chart, where it stayed at number one for two weeks and became Seville's first number-one single. The single peaked at number one on the Billboard R&B chart and on the Cash Box chart as well. The single sold over one million copies in the United States. Billboard ranked it as the No. 4 song for 1958.

The song tells a tale of a man seeking the help of a witch doctor to make his love interest reciprocate his feelings. However, despite the odd lyrics, the song is not a celebration of witchcraft but instead, a playful and amusing love story.

This song is about somebody who loves someone who does not love him back; he seeks advice from a "witch doctor", who gives him a string of gibberish as his answer, which the main character then duly repeats back to his love interest.

However, the witch doctor is wiser than he seems, knowing that the gibberish will give the person whom he loves a subconscious, placebo-like excuse to lower their defences and come to love him; the fact that he was willing to go to such an extent to get her to fall for him will also help to convince her that he is the person that she wants to be with.

This is actually about someone who loved someone, but they didn't return the gesture.. So he goes to the witch doctor who gives him the advice "Ooh ooh ee ah ah, ting tang walla walla bing bang" which he repeats to the girl.

If you listen to music from past decades, you may come across a few songs on the radio, on TV, or in movies that give you pause. Some songs from the past could never be written today - cultural mores have changed, and what was passable yesterday may no longer be acceptable, especially in terms of racial sensitivity.

The following songs from past decades all feature lyrics that are considered racially insensitive by today's standards. Many of these were even hits when they were released, and they're the products of some of the biggest names in the industry, including Elton John, Cher, and Guns N' Roses. Can we still listen to these songs as we did in past years, or do their less-than-appropriate lyrics make us want to change the station?

Guns N' Roses left the song "One In A Million" off the reissue of their 1988 debut EP, G N' R Lies. With lyrics mentioning police, homosexuals, and the N-word, the song was controversial even when it was released.

"Brown Sugar" was a massive hit upon its 1971 release. While the song is still popular today, it is generally considered inappropriate. Its lyrics describe a plantation owner abusing women he has enslaved, and the song is so controversial that Mick Jagger is known to censor himelf when he performs it. 006ab0faaa
