D'yer Mak'er is a great song which many critics at the time made the mistake of taking seriously. Dunno if you know this, but there's a joke from roughly that time that goes like this:
Bloke 1: My wife's gone off on holiday. Bloke 2: Jamaica? Bloke 3: No, she went of her own accord.
And that, I believe is the origin of the title and the rest is a bunch of blokes taking the piss out of doo wop.
