Bingo Bango is a children’s song with a nonsensical refrain. The song is a nursery rhyme that tells the story of a bird who loses its beak.
The bird goes around singing, “Bingo, bingo, bango!” until it finds its beak again. Numerous versions of the song exist, with different lyrics and melodies.
The song is believed to originate from the early 20th century, and likely became popular among American children during the 1930s. There is no clear explanation for the nonsensical refrain, though some people have suggested that it may be a reference to Bing Crosby’s trademark “bingo” call.
Regardless of its origins, Bingo Bango has become popular among children and adults alike and remains one of the most well-known nursery rhymes in the world.
