Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini – The Song

“Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” is a cover version of an original novelty song called “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” telling the story of a shy girl wearing a revealing polka dot bikini at the beach. It was written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss and first released in June 1960 by Brian Hyland, with an orchestra conducted by John Dixon. The Hyland version was a worldwide hit. This cover version is by the novelty pop band Bombalurina. It too was a success most notably in the UK.

The Bikini Swimsuit – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a bikini swimsuit. A bikini is a two-piece swimsuit primarily worn by girls and women that features one piece on top that covers the breasts, and a second piece on the bottom: the front covering the pelvis but usually exposing the navel, and the back generally covering the intergluteal cleft and some or all of the buttocks. The size of the top and bottom can vary, from bikinis that offer full coverage of the breasts, pelvis, and buttocks, to more revealing designs with a thong or G-string bottom that covers only the mons pubis, but exposes the buttocks, and a top that covers only the areolae. Bikini bottoms covering about half the buttocks may be described as “Brazilian-cut”. The modern bikini swimsuit was introduced by French clothing designer Louis Réard in July 1946, and was named after the Bikini Atoll, where the first public test of a nuclear bomb had taken place four days before.
