    Lyrics:
    The Ding-Dong Daddy of the D-Car Line
    Had a thing for the ladies for which he did time
    He reaped a little more than he could sow
    Of the pleasures the Mormons in Utah know
    He could not restrain himself when he saw
    a nice caboose
    Say Ding
    Say Dong
    That Ding-Dong Daddy he did
    sixteen women wrong
    The Ding-Dong Daddy had a sensual soul
    Lonely women flocked to him and he
    loved them all
    The train went in the tunnel in the
    dark he proposed
    The bonds of matrimony in the sweetest prose
    The ladies got together and decided
    they'd been had
    This ain't Salt Lake and you ain't Don Juan man
    We've got to give you credit we was
    happy for a time
    But you're the Ding-Dong Daddy of the D-car line
    Say Ding
    Say Dong
    That Ding-Dong Daddy he did
    sixteen women wrong
    Songwriters: Steve Perry

    This swing revival didn't last long enough. I love this music. They need to bring it back.

    Though the movie "1941" is a comedy it includes an excellent look at Big Band Swing music as it then was. It also well depicts how, with no TV, broadcasting live radio from ball rooms was a major form of home entertainment. I live in a California university town that took big to the Swing Revival. The owner of Mother's went as far as forming his own 14 piece Swing band which took three stages to hold. With his leading the singing & intense movements, every Thursday night was like an earthquake had hit. Not only were students "getting down" with period correct clothing and dance steps, the old timers came out for one more time around. Though they no longer threw each other threw the air, there was more than one white-haired couple who proved they could still "cut a mean rug". Though the revival only lasted a few years, what a recorded legacy they left!

    This is fantastic! I didn't know about the modern swing/big band revival, it's awesome! The film noir in the video is a nice touch. Very well produced and tight!

    Well, the Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car line
    Had a thing for the ladies for which he did time
    He reaped a little more than he could sow
    Of the pleasures the Mormons in Utah know
    He could not restrain himself when he saw a nice caboose
    Say ding (ding!)
    Say dong (dong!)
    That Ding Dong Daddy, he did sixteen women wrong
    The Ding Dong Daddy had a sensual soul
    Lonely women flocked to him and he loved them all
    The train went in the tunnel, in the dark he proposed
    The bonds of matrimony in the sweetest prose
    The ladies got together and decided they'd been had
    This ain't Salt Lake and you ain't Don Juan, man
    We gotta give you credit, we was happy for a time
    But you're the Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car line
    Say ding (ding!)
    Say dong (dong!)
    That Ding Dong Daddy, he did sixteen women wrong

    Whoever wrote the arrangement for this - whether it was Steve or one of the college-kid jazz guys he recruited for the band - he knew his business.

    Since the "Q-Line" made it's debut open in Detroit, Michigan, city known as "The D" now, I think of that city every time I hear this song:

      Yes. The song is based off the actions of a real man named Francis Van Wie. www.sfexaminer.com/news/the-ding-dong-daddy-of-the-d-car-line/

    The Daddis are still making music. Blame the record "proffessionals" who think Taylor Swift and Killin CopRap is great music.
