Now that's what I called dancing - Jitterbugging, Where every musician was a trained musician and you didn't ever hear a twanging guitar. No hip-hop here. No Rap. No putting down women or the police.
Just good fun and sweet music. Long before anyone used drugs. Believe it or not, one time I won a Jitterbugging contest with the very beautiful Bettina Edwards. She went on to New York and became a famous model while I just hung around.
 
Strange where P and the internet can take you too...

Gimme Dat Ding (1971) is a split album by Sweet (side one) and The Pipkins (side two), released on EMI's budget record label, MFP (Music For Pleasure) in 1970. It is also the name of a song from the album (see below).

Interestingly Albert Hammond co-wrote two songs on the album:
Side One -The Sweet
"Lollipop Man" (Albert Hammond, Lee Hazelwood)
Side Two -The Pipkins
"Gimme Dat Ding" (Hammond, Mike Hazelwood)

The two Hazlewoods are not related.

Lee is pretty well known :
Following discharge from the military, Hazlewood worked as a disc jockey while honing his songwriting skills. His first hit as a producer and songwriter was "The Fool", recorded by rockabilly artist Sanford Clark in 1956. Hazlewood partnered with pioneering rock guitarist Duane Eddy.<sup id="cite_ref-bbcobit_0-4" class="reference">[1]</sup>, producing and cowriting an unprecedented string of hit instrumental records, including "Peter Gunn", "Boss Guitar", "40 Miles Of Bad Road", "Shazam!", "Rebel Rouser" and "[Dance With The] Guitar Man".
Hazlewood is perhaps best known for having written and produced the 1966 Nancy Sinatra U.S./U.K. #1 hit, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". He also wrote "How Does That Grab Ya, Darlin'" and "Sugar Town" for Sinatra.<sup id="cite_ref-bbcdies_1-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> He also wrote "Houston", a 1965 U.S. hit recorded by Dean Martin.

Mike, not so well known was pretty prolific tho':
Educated at Hazelwick School, in Crawley, West Sussex, Hazlewood began his career as a DJ at the radio station, Radio Luxembourg in the early 1960s. In 1966 he founded the group, Family Dogg, together with Albert Hammond and Steve Rowland. In addition he often wrote songs in collaboration with Hammond, like "Little Arrows" for Leapy Lee, "Gimme Dat Ding" for The Pipkins, and "The Air That I Breathe" for Phil Everly of The Everly Brothers, for his 1973 solo album Star Spangled Springer, later recorded by, and a hit for The Hollies.
Hazlewood's collaboration with Hammond, resulted in co-composed songs for the latter such as "It Never Rains in Southern California", and "The Free Electric Band".<sup id="cite_ref-amg_0-1" class="reference">[1]</sup>
Hazlewood and Hammond also wrote the international hit song "Make Me An Island" for the late Irish singer Joe Dolan in 1969, as well as it's follow-up singles "Teresa" and "You're Such a Good Looking Woman".
