Origin of the Popular Song Peek-a-Boo by Scanlan
Mr. Scanlan explains he wrote Peek-a-Boo in about a half hour while studying Samuel Lover songs. He recalls sitting at home on Fourth Avenue New York eight years ago when children at the door inspired the chorus as his accordion caught notes. The tune followed naturally as he penned the stanza and chorus.
