Description: Though apparently titled in tribute to Otis Day & the Knights' Animal House showstopper, the Starbucks-commissioned Shama Lama Ding Dong is an otherwise solid introduction to the halcyon days of doo wop, assembling 15 of the era's definitive street-corner harmonies. There remains an ethereal otherworldliness about many of these songs -- their sweetness and sophistication, once merely the product of another time, now seem like a relic of another planet altogether, as it's virtually impossible to imagine an America so innocent and so romantic. At just 15 songs, Shama Lama Ding Dong is hardly a definitive overview, but consumers seeking the staples of latter-day oldies radio play lists should be delighted -- standouts include Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers' "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?," the Platters' "Only You," and the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You."
