"Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" is a doo-wop style novelty song from 1961 by the American songwriter Barry Mann, who wrote it with Gerry Goffin.
Who Put the Bomp was a rock music fanzine edited and published by Greg Shaw from 1970 to 1979. [1] [2] Its name came from the 1961 hit doo-wop song by Barry Mann, "Who Put the Bomp". Later, the name was shortened to Bomp! Bomp!, and extended by Shaw to the record label Bomp! Records, which he headed until his death in 2004. [3] [4]
The same year, Mann himself reached the Top 40 as a performer with a novelty song co-written with Gerry Goffin, "Who Put the Bomp", [5] which parodied the nonsense words of the then-popular doo-wop genre. [3] [6]
In 1974, Bomp! became a record label, and Shaw released records by Devo, the Weirdos and Iggy Pop, and worked with several artists including Stiv Bators and the Dead Boys. [7] He signed, and distributed, power pop and new wave acts such as Shoes , the Nerves , the Plimsouls and the Romantics . [ 7 ]
