Holy Elusiveness Batman, She's Escaped Again!
Life has many questions. Why is the sky blue? Why did the dinosaurs die? Why do hipsters wear pants so tight that I can count their pocket change? How did Zack Morris get involved with every girl, break it off, and there are absolutely no hard feelings? Why in the fuck does traffic go from 80 mph, down to 40 mph, then back up to 80 mph, and there is no apparent accident or sun glare?
The most pressing question today is; Who put the “bop” in the “bop shu bop shu bop?” The answer to the most complicated questions is usually the simplest of answers. The person who put the “bop” in the “bop shu bop shu bop” is probably the same person who put the “ram” in the “ramalama ding dong.” Furthermore, upon further inspection the person that committed this act also most likely stole the cookie from the cookie jar. All signs point to one person; the infamous Carmen San Diego.
She is the probably the most elusive criminal this world has ever seen. She sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina. She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize. She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China. Tell me, where in the world is Carmen San Diego? Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry "Uncle!" From the Red Sea to Greenland, they'll be singing the blues
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle. Tell me, where in the world is Carmen San Diego?
Tell me now. Does this sound like the work of someone who has not put the “bop” in the bop shu bop shu bop? Why would she be on the run if she were innocent of these crimes? Guilty parties act guilty. Hence, being on the run simply does not do much to prove her innocence now does it? The answer is no.
My Partner In Crime is correct indeed.
Holy invented words and strange lyrics, Batman!
Who put the bop in the bop shoo wop shoo wop? Contrary to the song lyrics by The Platters, it was not, in fact, a man who put it in there. It was a woman.
The singer wants to know who put the "bop" in the song because it made his baby fall in love with him.
Women, by nature, are much better matchmakers than men. They would know best what would make another woman fall in love with a man that they had set them up with. And of course, the women would have set up their friends with men the old-fashioned way - in-person introductions, as this song was released in the early '60s long before eHarmony, OKCupid, or Match made dating impersonal and anonymous.
Plus, as most women were housewives during this time period, they would have had the time to think about who they could pair up with their spinster sister because heaven forbid she remain single into her 20s while their husbands were at work.
Therefore, it must have been a woman who put the "bop" in the song because women trust other women's matchmaking abilities and intuition and if that's how a woman fell in love with a man, you can bet it was a woman behind it.
