Trivial question for us "old timers"...

Do any of you remember the song "Cookie, Cookie, lend me your comb?

If you do, can you remember the show it came from, and the artists that sang the song?

I know all of them, and await your replies.

The song was composed as a duet, and given that its words comprised the song's title and its entire 'theme', she was needed.

I cracked up thinking Bobby Vee must have rented Annette Funicello’s Beach Blanket film set, but I’ll admit the Honda 50’s are a cool trip down memory road.

But I remember the character on 77 Sunset Strip and recall that line was used in an episode of Beany & Cecil.
