C'mon! I remember playing that song when it was new, in marching band, marching in a local campaign parade for John F. Kennedy in 1960...LOL...It was the most progressive thing our bandmaster did in four years...

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" is a novelty song telling the story of a shy girl in a very revealing bathing suit who stays immersed in the ocean water to hide from view. It was written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss and first released on August 8, 1960 by Brian Hyland. Hyland's version hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960 and also made the top 10 in other countries.
