We're talking here about three different versions of Diga Diga Doo (also 
spelt Digga Digga Doo). Two are by Duke Ellington and his Orchestra with 
Irving Mills vocalising (July,1928 and November, 1928), and one (the one 
that started this thread) by the Mills Brothers accompanied by Duke 
Ellington's orchestra (1932). None of the three are what I would call 
classic Ellington, but the Mills Brothers are their usual impeccable selves.

Cheers

Bob Smith
