Goody Goody

"Goody Goody" is a 1936 popular song composed by Matty Malneck, with lyrics by Johnny Mercer.

Benny Goodman and his Orchestra (with vocalist Helen Ward) recorded this song. Frankie Lymon performed this song live on television on several occasions, including in 1957 on The Ted Steele Show. He also had a hit with his recording of the song in the UK, reaching #24 that year, as well as #20 in the United States. It was billed as a recording with his group The Teenagers, but was in fact a solo recording.

The song was performed by 'Wayne & Wanda' in an episode of The Muppet Show.

Chicago recorded the song on its 1995 big band album Night and Day. The version was arranged and featured lead vocals by Bill Champlin.

A recording by The BBC Dance Orchestra featured in the film The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007).
