Fiddle De Dee

ABC Wednesday
The letter this week is F
for Fiddle Dee Dee!

So, used as an interjection the expression Fiddledeedee indicates scorn, or indifference, - impatience, or disbelief.  Perhaps you remember Scarlett O'Hara and her careless dismissal in Gone with the Wind.....

and then there is the children's' rhyme that announces the nuptials of

 

the Fly and the Bumble Bee

 

Oh fiddle dee dee, fiddle dee dee

the Fly has married the Bumble Bee!!

 

but have you heard the lovely young people's Choral by the same name?

 

 

Fiddle de dee - Kurt Bikkembergs

Perpetuum Mobile

Children's Choir Cantabile uit Novotroitsk

 

or Lionel Hampton and his orchestra   - Fiddle de Dee (recorded 1940)
