"Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" #1 8/13/1960

The only chart-topper for Brian Hyland did a lot to promote acceptance of the bikini as beachwear. He later said the success of this song meant he didn't have to ride the subway any longer, and that he could afford to buy a few Martin acoustic guitars. Co-writer Paul Vance drew inspiration from his two-year-old daughter at the beach in her new bathing suit. Clip is from "American Bandstand."
