Got to say I love the Goodies version...and I love the bit at the end where they say ' I say yeah yeah'......but the Shangri-Las are iconic and there's just something magical about Mary Weiss's voice that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Oh.... Maryann did NOT Die. She is alive and well and living in Florida. The Goodies are BACK. They are releasing their Album by end of 2019. It was one of the other ladies that passed away,.
You must be thinking of the new Shangrilas, copycats, but still good. I knew Mary Ann Ganser in 63. Twin sister to Margie, and there was Betty, and of course, Mary Weiss, the lead singer.
You knew Mary Ann? I would love to hear about her. What is her story? What do you know? She sand the lead on only on song - "I'm Blue" for the Shangs which is fantastic. @@WOODR52
Just imagine that I heard this song for the first time yesterday. So I am a 'tabula rasa'. Difficult for me to say what version I like more. Shangri-la's lead singer has a powerful peculiar voice but Goodies are more 'group', they melt better their voices. So: I prefer Goodies.
I prefer The Goodies version. Great comparison. I must point out, though, that the picture of the three girls looking through the staircase railing are not The Goodies you hear on "Dum Dum Ditty". They are the group, The Goodees, who recorded "Condition Red" in the late 60s.
Love the Shangri Las but with this song the Goodies cover comes right out of the starting gate strong with the drum beat while the Shangri Las was kinda week with the guitar opening. It just sounded fuller and heavier with better percussion. IMO
Doesn't matter who does the song. Nobody could screw this up. Listen to Jennifer D'Angora and the Downbeat Five. Their version is superb. Great song!!!!
The verses by the Goodies/Bunnies are really sharp and fun. But the chorus doesn't sit in the pocket. Maybe Shadow told them to sing "ditty" off time on purpose and went back to in time for the Shangs. I dunno. The "boom boom" also sounds like he told the Goodies to phrase it a bit early. The Shangri-La's version sits in the pocket and grooves better, and I like how they pronounce it "run run dih-tee" -- smoother. The Goodies are edgier and brighter like the Crystals. The Shangs are warmer and more in the groove like... well.. the Shangs. And there is nothing like that EVERLY harmony that the Shangs re-create in girl-group mode. it's close and tight. No way I can pick a favorite in real life, Seeing the Bunnies live might have been a wild night of joy and shouting.,.. but if all we can talk about are these two specific performances of this one song on this recording... the Shangs eek out a win.
You appear to be confused. There are no ad-libs at the break near the end on the Shangri-las version. They appear in the Goodies version. I would say both versions have their charms.
Well first of all, when you said "ad lib," I was assuming you meant the spoken bits that appear in the Goodies' version at the break but not in the Shangri-las' version (thus making it more likely two of the members of the Goodies were ad libbing at that point). Since "Oh yeah" is sung in BOTH versions by both groups at exactly the same time, it's kind of hard to figure out how this could be an "ad lib" on one version and yet not on the other.
BigStar303 i said specifically The Shangri-las version, the ad-lib is more promient on thier version towards the end of the song don't really hear it on the goodies version

God bless these ladies they brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people ❤
Never heard them do this before great song love it
Wow! This is the first time I heard this song by the Shangri-Las! I like both versions of this song!
Got to say I love the Goodies version...and I love the bit at the end where they say ' I say yeah yeah'......but the Shangri-Las are iconic and there's just something magical about Mary Weiss's voice that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Thanks for sharing the back to back versions of this song. As a lover of GIRL GROUPS i enjoyed both versions immensely!
I miss the 60's Never forget the day Mary Ann died in 1970. I knew her in 63.
Oh.... Maryann did NOT Die. She is alive and well and living in Florida. The Goodies are BACK. They are releasing their Album by end of 2019. It was one of the other ladies that passed away,.

The Shangri Las' version for me. Love the vocal counterpoint at the end - gives me goosebumps.
I love this song! I guess I favor the Shangs version because it just sounds so huge, but both versions are great.
Major crush on Mary, the lead singer, well how she looked back then anyways..she was Madd 😍 cute
I do like the Goodies but for me, it's definitely the Shangri-Las!
Definitely The Shangri-Las version ❤
I love this band
Never heard of the goodies bunnies before both versions are great id probably lean toward the shang rilas .
Both versions were adorable, but the first is a little better. Maybe I'm biased, but I haven't heard much about the Goodies.
Both very good, but I'm a Shangri Las guy!

Shangri Las all the way
I think both of them give different interpretation of the song
Great work, I like both versions but Shangs are more talented vocalists and the production values are edgier and more exciting.
my vote on this one goes yo the shangilas
The Shangri-las sing the lyrics "Run Run Ditty", the Goodies sing the lyrics "Dum Dum Ditty". I give the edge to the Shangs....but I am biased.
This is a live verison its great
Totally prefer The Goodies. And I am a HUGE Shangi fan.
Shangs, baby!
The Shangs version is the best

There is another video on YT using both versions of the song. ruclips.net/video/rPJ5hQs9aio/видео.html
The Goodies have my vote
Me too!
the shangri las version is way better vocally and production and I love the ganser twins ad-libs at the end were amazing
You appear to be confused. There are no ad-libs at the break near the end on the Shangri-las version. They appear in the Goodies version. I would say both versions have their charms.
actually no if you listen clearly at the of the shang's version one of the ganser twins is singing oh yeah till the songs fade out that is a ad-lib
Well first of all, when you said "ad lib," I was assuming you meant the spoken bits that appear in the Goodies' version at the break but not in the Shangri-las' version (thus making it more likely two of the members of the Goodies were ad libbing at that point).

BigStar303 i said specifically The Shangri-las version, the ad-lib is more promient on thier version towards the end of the song don't really hear it on the goodies version
