Sometimes I can't help but laugh at the lyrics of "older" music. Granted, the music that my parents grew up with seems to have more meaning than a lot of the trash that's considered "music" these days. Still, there are some songs that just set me giggling as I ponder the words...
We went out to dinner tonight and the restaurant had music playing in the background. I was quietly singing along when I got to wondering, was it a common thing for women to go, walkin' down the street, singin', do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, looking for a husband?
Was do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do code for something that I'm not aware of?

The single debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 on August 7, 1961, and remained for twelve weeks, peaking at # 7[3]. Mann's version did not chart in the UK, though...
