The Ardells--Eefananny (1963)

      One of the strangest things I've come across in studying popular music has been "eefing". It's direct roots seems to be from Tennessee, where in an earlier generation it was called, "hooodling". There is an audio clip of Jimmie Riddle, who was considered a master of the form breaking the sounds down. Unfortunately I can't up load it, but if you go to You Tube you can hear it there.  He doesn't really explain it...but it's very funny to listen to. He was probably best known for doing his thing on the old CBS show, "Hee Haw"....

 There are examples of "Eefing" in Rock and Roll as well with the best charting example of it being Joe Perkins with 1963, "Little Eefing Annie". For us, we will suffice with The Ardells doing a song which was a spoof of the folk hootenanny movement of the early 60's....
