1961年以一首風格很特殊的歌"Baby
Sittin' Boogie" (#6)成名而令人懷念的Reese
"Buzz" Clifford（本名Reese Francis Clifford III），元月26日因流感併發症去世（75歲）。
Buzz Clifford出生於美國伊里諾州Berwyn，他原先想把"Baby Sittin'
Boogie"放在"Driftwood" 45轉單曲小唱片的B面，但因為他們把製作人及作曲Johnny Parker兒子和女兒的童音錄在歌裡，而產生了很好的效果，反而得到很好的成績，但是接著推出"Three Little Fishes"就不行了，只得到102名。
當年屬於Teen pop-novelty singer的"Buzz"
Clifford，後來一直待在流行音樂圈，他大多時間在作曲，但也曾經跟一位演員Gary Busey的樂隊一起唱過歌。
"Baby
Sittin' Boogie"經後人剪了很有趣的video，讓人回憶起50與60年代那些以青少年為對象，有創意的Teen pop-novelty singers歌手。
Baby Sittin' Boogie
(gggggggggggggggg da da da-da-da-da!)
My girl baby sister saw it on her block
Then I come up to join her and we start to
rock
The baby hears the beat and man it is a
shock
When he goes (ggggggggggggg ggggggg)
A rockin type a boogie is the kind a song
That makes this little baby wanna sing
along
And though he maybe gets the tune alittle
wrong
He still goes (boogie-on-na-day)
He isn't too young to really feel the beat
He rocks back and forth in his little seat
He claps both his hands and he taps his
feet
And he sings (doo-doo-da-da-da-da-da)
He is a hully-gully-bouncin-baby-boy
You know the record player is his favorite
toy
And dont forget hes eveybodys pride and joy
When he goes (ooo-ah-ge-he)
(Yo-a-ah-ah)
(Ladaladalada)
I know there isnt anyone to take a bet
But surely hes the youngest teenager yet
And probably the hippest of the diaper set
Cause he goes (go man, I like that!)
He strolls in his stroller with the radio
on
He doesn't go to sleep until the musics
gone
He imitates the singer in the group
With a low down voice (dug-a-dug-a)
And when its time to tuck him in his little
bed
With all that music runnin through his
sleepy head
The little fella doesnt say goodnight
Instead, but he says (boog-ooo, boog-ooo,
boog-ooo
Aaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll gone!)
