Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini is a novelty song written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss. It was released on August 8, 1960, by Brian Hyland.

The lyrics seem to hint at a woman in a very revealing bathing suit – but the character is actually a toddler.

It was featured in the movie "One, Two, Three" and was repetetively played as an instrument of torture for suspected spies.

There were many cover versions. It was covered by the French singer, Dalida, in 1960 also. It was also remade in 1990 by Timmy Mallet, star of then-popular UK children's television show, Wacaday. The song hit number one on August 19th, 1990.
