"Ring-a-ling-a-ling Ding-dong-ding .. "
The Ronettes--three girls from Manhattan--showed up on Phil Spector's Christmas album in 1963.
Their Ring-a-ling-a-ling precedes the Rat Pack's Ring-a-ding-ding.
Leroy Anderson wrote the song and others (Syncopated Clock, Fiddle Faddle) for the Boston Pops in the 1940s.
Factoid: This song and album was released on Nov. 22 1963, the day Kennedy was shot.
Clip: The Ronettes
Song: Leroy Anderson, Mitch Leigh
