Question
Was there a song about Zsa Zsa Gabor in the mid-to-late-50's.  I know I must be crazy because I think it had "beep beep beep" in the lyrics.

Answer
I imagine there was more than one song that mentioned her. However, the only one I was able to come up searching the Web was "A Bunch of Bananas" written by Dick Manning and Ogden Nash, sung in 1954 by Rosemary Clooney and José Ferrer, which had a line "I don't need no Rita or Zsa-Zsa" sung by Ferrer. But this may not be the song you're looking for -- I tried to find one with the "beep" in it, but no luck.

One other possibility is "Donna the Prima Donna" -- written by Dion DiMucci and sung by Dion and the Belmonts, with the lines "She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor/Even though she's the girl next door."

Again, no beeps, and probably not quite the 50s either. But these two are the best fits I can find.
