The Pipkins’ Playful Hit “Gimme Dat Ding”

“Gimme Dat Ding” is a novelty pop song by the English group The Pipkins. It was released in 1970 and became a hit in the UK and several other countries. The song was written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood and was produced by Roger Greenaway.

“Gimme Dat Ding” features playful and humorous lyrics, with the narrator expressing his desire for an unspecified “ding.” The song’s catchy melody, upbeat tempo, and lighthearted lyrics contributed to its popularity, especially among younger audiences.
