Zappa's really the only doo-wop I can fathom. I know it's a respected genre and all, but I just can't get with it...

Yeah man, Youngca is the Doo-Wop bank in this site. He knows too much about it(and even its recording process too) nod

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone
