'Shoobie doobie do wop' indeed !!! That's the first song to pop into my head, and it will not leave.

Always irritates me when people pop that song into my head. It'll be stuck there for days now.

edit: and when I first heard it, I was in junior high school. So, it's a 1979 song, not 1980's song.

I wish I could find a compilation that had like the top 100 songs from every year of the 80's. That would be heaven.

I can't believe no one mentioned these two yet.

LOL@Milli Vanilli.

Did they ever find out who really sang that shit?
Click to expand...

It was known from almost the start.

In all fairness the original did not list any credits at all. It just featured the two on the cover.

The sad thing was they could actually sing pretty decent, but never recovered.

The whole thing wasn't really their fault, they were just hired talent...
