Not to be confused with either of two songs of a similar name, both called "Chick-A-Boom". "Chick-A-Boom" (Berns, Morrison) was by Irish singer Van Morrison in the mid-1960s, and as featured on the Midnight Special collection (and Bang Masters) of early and/or unreleased Van Morrison recordings. Morrison's Chick-A-Boom is a songwriting collaboration with former Brill Building great and co-founder of Bang Records, Bert Berns. The other, "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)", was by Richard Monda aka Daddy Dewdrop in 1971. One of the songs from the play/movie Godspell, "We Beseech Thee," includes a chorus that includes the phrase, "Boom chicka boom chicka boom chick chick, chicka booma chicka booma chicka boom chick chick."
