The Jive Bombers were an American
R&B group from New York City
.
The Jive Bombers consisted of members of two previous vocal groups, Sonny Austin & the Jive Bombers and The Palmer Brothers.The Escorts, Mink DeVille, Ringo Starr, Buster Poindexter (a.k.a. David Johansen), Sha Na Na, and others, and was used in the 1990 film Cry-Baby.
What distinguishes The Jive Bombers from similar bands of the same era, was the unique and often downright bizarre vocal style of lead singer Clarence Palmer.[citation needed] Apart from his powerful normal singing style, he would frequently scat-sing an indescribable "UAH-UAH-UAH" sound at the end of certain words or lines.[citation needed] In "Bad Boy" he uses this effect every time he sings the song's title.
