So back in the late 80’s there was a song I remember from Dr. Demento. The only part I recall is that after a verse or two the music would stop and the singer would sing “Wah-Doo-Hay” and then pick up the next verse. I am finding nothing online. Any ideas? ---

Don’t know, but if you don’t get an answer, I suggest you e-mail the good [Dr. D](http://www.drdemento.com/). I met him this summer, and he astounded me with his astounding memory and encyclopedic knowledge. He also was very nice. (And not to hijack, but last week he was elected to the Radio Hall of Fame.) ---

Ah! Nope. Is the song about Oreo cookies? Because that’s “Oreo” by _Free Hot Lunch_. “Oreooooo, all she left me were these oreooooooos …” ---

Doesn’t ring a bell. But here’s [a list](http://dmdb.org/playlists/) of all his songs. There’s a search engine too. ---

> [@jackdavinci](#): > > Could it be Zeoffree Katt’s Ha Doo Wah? Nope that doesn’t seem to be it. I remember is being normal lyrics about something or other Wah Do Hey was like come sort of lyrical “doo doo doo” in between verses.
