"Annie Had a Baby" is a 1954
DJ played "Work with Me, Annie", then joked about a follow-up record titled "Annie Had a Baby", which caused King Records to receive orders for the then non-existing single. So the song was composed, recorded and released to fill the orders.[2]
The record sold in excess of one million copies.[3]
