"etymology_text": "Uncertain. scooby doo appears as a vocable scatted in \"The Boppenpoof Song\" written in 1954, as the name of a band (The Scooby-Doo All-Stars) in 1956 and the title of a song by the Jerry Lieber Beat Band published by Zephyr Records in 1959 (both of which were signed to Zephyr Records). It is likely that such uses were an influence on the creators of the cartoon but they may also have been partially influenced by Frank Sinatra's \"doo-be-doo-be-doo\" improvisation in \"Strangers in the Night\" released in 1963 a few months prior to the first episode of Scooby-Doo being shown (also in 1963).",
