INKY DINKY SPIDER (The Spider Song) - The Kids Next Door
4 Corners 129 - October 8, 1965; #28 WLS

This oddball hit took a children's sing-and-gesture staple, added "Oh, de dum dum silly oddy-eh, oh de dum dum rum de dum," a few sound effects, and made it into a pop song called "Inky Dinky Spider (The Spider Song)".

It reached #84 (#23AC) on Billboard, #96 on Cashbox and #66 on Record World. In Chicago, it made #28 on the WLS Silver Dollar Survey and spent two weeks as an “UP’N’Coming” on the WJJD Top-40 list. It also made top-10 in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Here we have a "group" that no one can identify. A French EP (shown) has a photo of "The Kids Next Door," but the group is almost assuredly a studio group produced by Morris "Murray" Wecht and Pierre Maheu. Wecht, an ex-Brill Building songwriter, also wrote the hit side and co-wrote the flip. So the five "Kids" pictured may or may not have anything to do with the group on the record, as they may have been a touring group.

The voice on the record is rumored to be Mary Sinclair, longtime actress and former model. As with the "You Know Who" group on the same label, no followup record at all. The group just disappeared.
