Kewpie Doll (song)

"Kewpie Doll" is a 1958 popular song, written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett.[1] It is based on the popular Kewpie comics characters by Rose O'Neill, who inspired a merchandising phenomenon of dolls and other toys.[2]

In the United States, the most popular was a recording by Perry Como; in the United Kingdom, Como competed with a cover version recorded by Frankie Vaughan. The release marked the end of Como's regular high chart placings in the US. It was his last Top Ten hit there for 11 years.[3]
