The story behind
Creedence Clearwater Revival recorded "Ooby Dooby" in 1970, but the song was born much earlier. They wrote it Dick Penner and Wade Moore in 1955, while they were studying together at university. They wrote it on the rooftop of their fraternity house, with a beer in hand. The idea was simple: a rockabilly song with a fast rhythm and a fun lyric. They recorded it in a Dallas studio, and soon passed it on to Roy Orbison, who turned it into a hit. Orbison's version made it to the Billboard charts and became a classic. Later, Creedence Clearwater Revival included it on their album Cosmo's Factory, where they gave it a new life. The song still sounds like it's from the 60s, with that energy that never fades. ↓ Skip to chordsE
