whoah.
That song has a lot more history than i thought....
Karl Denver is the earliest version I used to be aware of.
Is it just me, or do the modern version also sound like the Doctor who theme? Think of the 'wimwe' as the bassline, and away you go.

That was Delia Derbyshire's doing.
There was a very good doc on BBC4 a few years ago which showed how she made that effect. Very much worth watching.

I don't think so.
I suppose I'm saying I don't really see it myself.

in your head...
go "awhimaway, awhimaway, awhimaway", and then do the doctor who "a diddle-a-dum, a diddle-a-dum". They are interchangeable.
Then the high pitched part that follows is really similar too.
