Answer
Dear Vince,
The song that's been driving you crazy is called "Little Latin Lupe Lu" by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in March of 1966 and got as high as #17.
Here are the lyrics if you are interested. This song is available for downloading on many on-line sites.

Whoa - Little Latin Lupe Lu
Bama Bama Lupe
Oh Shake shake it Lupe

She's my pretty little baby
Whoa - Little Latin Lupe Lu
(Spoken)
Ah, we gonna try it once again
(crowd shouts) ?? yeah you right baby
This time we're gonna try to get a little more feelin'
(Ad lib on the way out, repetitions of Bamma Bamma Lupe,
And there you go.
Steve
