WHO WROTE SHIMY SHIMY COCO POP?


Dear Writer,
Shimmy Shimmy Coco Pop (also known as Down Down Baby) is an Afro American street chant probably written after 1900 (because of the reference to the roller coaster). No one knows who wrote it.

  • Do you know where I can download Laurie Berkner's music?
  • You're cool!

Dear Writer,
Thank you writers for sending the name of your favorite songs from the CD. Thanks for thinking I'm cool! I'm afraid I don't know where you can download, Laurie Berkner's song, but you might be able to purchase it through Amazon. Now, who sings "Shimmy Shimmy" aside from Kim Milai (smile)? This Afro-American street chant is more popularly known as "Down Down Baby." Various artists have sung it. The first recording I highly recommend, the second I haven't heard yet but you might want to try it:
Shake it to the One That You Love the Best by Cheryl Warren Mattox (book and cd) 
Whaddaya Think of That? Laurie Berkner
I also found a great link on 'Coco Jams' which includes a little history on the chant. Enjoy! http://www.cocojams.com/down_down_baby.htm
