About
"My Ding-a-Ling" is a novelty song written and recorded by Dave Bartholomew. It was covered by Chuck Berry in 1972 and became his only number-one Billboard Hot 100 single in the United States. Later that year, a longer version was included on the album The London Chuck Berry Sessions. Guitarist Onnie McIntyre and Robbie McIntosh, a drummer who later formed the Average White Band, played on the single along with Nic Potter of the British band Van der Graaf Generator on bass.
