"Loop de Loop" is a song written by Teddy Vann and Joe Dong and performed by Johnny Thunder featuring The Bobbettes. It reached No. 4 on the U.S. pop chart and No. 6 on the U.S. R&B chart in 1963.[1] It was featured on his 1963 album Loop De Loop.[2]

The song was produced by Teddy Vann, and it was Thunder's only Top 40 hit.[3]

The chorus of the song is taken almost in whole from the popular folk song or children's song, known by many variant names, including "Here we go Loop de Loop." A version the folk song appeared as early as 1849 in James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps' Popular Rhymes and Nursery Tales, as "Dancing Looby."
