Ring-a-Ding Dandy

Ring-a-Ding Dandy is a 1961 song written by John Hammond and performed by Adam Sorenson. This was the first Lovian song to reach 10.000 sales. This is a fairly typical bubblegum pop song, with now-cheesy lyrics.

Hammond wrote Ring-a-Ding Dandy and was ready to release it on his own after 10 months went without anyone interested. The song then caught the eye of an Insel Islands singer visiting Lovia, who wanted an American-style song to bring him recognition in North America.

Sorenson sung in a style similar to Paul Anka and Neil Sedaka, and the final take of the song took place in June 1962. Released that summer, it became Sorenson's big hit, a minor success in the United States but big in Lovia. It was released by Label Records in Lovia and Majestät in Insel.
