Do any of you seniors, like me, remember a song that has the words, My friend the Witch Doctor? I could google it, but it will be more fun to ask you. I guess if I get no responses I could google it. Perhaps I dreamed it!

The original version was done by Alvin and the Chipmunks with David Seville in 1958. The Cartoons did a remake of it in 1998.

yeah. That one was a childhood memory coming out of the beige front of the old valve radio.
A Google search showed Ross Bagdasarian is the writer, evidently from Denmark.
There are a few examples on Youtube, like this one, but it doesnt sound like I think it should.

My other similar childhood favourite was Charlie Drakes effort
