Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Ju Ju Hand"
Opening Lines: Yoka mata huba bakwa Ju ju hand, Oooowwww!
Comments: "Ju Ju Hand" was a 1967 top ten hit and yet another nonsensical hit for Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs (and their last top ten hit). But "Ju Ju Hand" would be used as a basis of several other song hits by other artists in the late 1960's and early 1970's.

| "Ring Dang Doo "
Opening Lines: Well, you can have your gold and your diamonds too All I wan is a ring dang doo.
Comments: "Ring Dang Doo" was a 1966 top twenty hit for the group (although mainly the lead singer and keyboardist, Domingo "Sam The Sham" Samudio), Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs who were an early proponent of Tex Mex music -- sounding not to unlike Los Bravos from Spain and Germany -- but Sam The Sham and his group were from Texas. Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs' song, "Ring Dang Doo" was nonsensical, as was most of their hits, including the #2 big hit, "Wooly Bully", but they were way ahead of their time in many ways. Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs' influence on Rock 'n' Roll and music in general would be felt strongly starting in the late 1980's with groups and artists such as Miami Sound Machine (and Gloria Estefan), Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam and others and Sam The Sham's influence is still felt to today.
