"Witch Doctor" is a 1958 American novelty song written and recorded by Ross Bagdasarian under the stage name of David Seville. Bagdasarian sang the song, varying the tape speeds to produce a high-pitched voice for the "witch doctor". This technique was later used in his next song, "The Bird on My Head", and for the creation of the voices of his virtual band Alvin and the Chipmunks. The song became a number one hit and rescued Liberty Records from near-bankruptcy. In the song, the narrator asks a witch doctor for romantic advice because he has fallen in love with a girl; the witch doctor responds in a high-pitched, squeaky voice with a nonsense incantation which creates an earworm: "Oo-ee-oo-ah-ah, ting-tang, walla-walla-bing-bang."
