"Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" is a song written by Janice Lee Gwin and Linda Martin and performed by Daddy Dewdrop. It was featured on his 1971 album, Daddy Dewdrop. [2] The lyrics in the verses are spoken, rather than sung.
"Chick-A-Boom" reached number nine on the U.S. Billboard pop chart in 1971. [3] It also reached number five on the Cash Box Top 100. [4]
It was produced by Dick Monda and Don Sciarrotta. [5] Monda produced music for the 1970-71 Filmation animated television series Groovie Goolies , for which the song was originally written and recorded. [6] That version was by the "Rolling Headstones" and was a parody of the Rolling Stones "Girl with the Faraway Eyes." The song makes a reference to Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti". The single ranked number 34 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1971. [7]
