    Subject:  Doo Wah Diddy continued

    So far, in response to whose relatives lived in Doo Wah Diddy, a couple of
    respondents said Phil Harris, and one said Bing Crosby. From the lyrics, you
    can't tell if Phil Harris or anyone has relatives in Doo Wah Diddy. Doo Wah
    Diddy is several choruses removed from his "Mammie" in "Alabamie." The Bing
    Crosby guess is more interesting, although I have yet to uncover evidence of
    it. Phil Harris and Bing Crosby were good friends and they appeared on radio
    and TV together several times. Any one of these times could have had a
    mention about Bing's relatives. My examination of broadcasts so far comes up
    empty. However, my question is based on a Jack Benny Show in early 1948, and
    Jack's apparent hatred of Phil's signature song in a very funny bit. Many
    fans don't realize that the song was actually written by Andy Razaf, and not
    Phil Harris. So, based on the Benny show, whose relatives lived in Doo Wah
    Diddy?
