Papa Do

"Papa Do" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and Barry Blue.[1] The foot stomping proto-glam song was released as a single performed by Barry Green (aka Blue) in 1972 backed with "Boomerang" on the Decca label (both songs credited as written by Rubin and Green respectively) and had a modicum of chart success in Spain, France and Sweden.[2] The Dutch group, Cardinal Point, recorded a version which was similar in style to that recorded by Green, as a track on their self-named album,[3] and the Greek group, The Daltons, also released a version of the song as a single.[4] The song was re-titled "Mama Do"[5] and the text slightly modifed for de Paul's own jazzed up version that served as the opening track for her debut album, Surprise, which was released in 1973.[6]
