- Cindy, Oh Cindy
-
"Cindy, Oh Cindy" is a song written by Robert Nemiroff and Burt D'Lugoff[1][2] and credited to their pseudonyms, Robert Barron and Burt Long. Nemiroff took the name of the song from his young daughter, Cindy.
The song was originally recorded in 1956 by Vince Martin and The Tarriers, and quickly covered by Eddie Fisher. Both versions made the charts that year; for Fisher it was his last Top 40 single.
The song was also covered by the American rock band The Beach Boys in 1962 although the song remained unreleased for many years. The song was eventually released on the re-release of the Surfin' Safari/Surfin' USA albums.
Other versions have been recorded by Tony Brent, by Perry Como, by The Highwaymen, by Waylon Jennings, and in German by Margot Eskens.
