Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)
While looking for novelty songs starting with K, I found many I'm not too fond of, and one that I felt was inappropriate to include. I nearly forgot this about this one. It was well before my time, but I am familiar with this song.
Sung by Connie Stevens and Edd Byrnes, that song refers to Byrnes's character from the TV series 77 Sunset Strip. It was included on Byrnes's album Kookie Star of 77 Sunset Strip.
In the song, she wants him to lend her his comb. When he finally asks why, she says so he can stop combing his hair and kiss her. The song consists of mostly spoken-word lyrics, except when Kookie sings the bridge section.

Can't say that I've ever heard of this one!
Another fun song. I am really enjoying your novelty song A-Z.
I actually knew the back story to Kookie, lend me your comb.
Nerd that I am.
I didn't know these.
Sounds like a fun song
I DO remember this one. It was slightly before I would have been interested. And my parents wouldn't let me watch or listen to this type of music. Elvis was right out!
This is another new one for me. :) There are some fun (and silly) songs, aren't there?
I'm actually at home today reading blogs, so I can listen to the song. And... Nope, never heard this one before. I see why you picked it.
Oh I remember this one. It is cute and fun to hear :)
I wonder if he's talking about Anna Maria Alberghetti. This is one kookie song.
