I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas
"I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas" is a song written and sung by Phil Baxter, accompanied by Phil Harris and his orchestra in 1928. It was originally named after the town of Dumas, Texas.[1] Even though there were no music charts back then, it was still a successful song during the 1930s and 1940s.[citation needed] The radio station KDDD-FM in Dumas is named after the song, hence the three D's stand for Ding Dong Daddy.
The song is referenced in the series finale of the Comedy Central show Nathan for You.[2]
