The 1947 Tadd Dameron song "A Be Bop Carroll" (recorded by Fats Navarro) has a punning reference to Carroll but is a contrafact of Mean to Me.
He was known for an upbeat, energetic comedic style, often employing scat singing or vocalese. Carroll recorded three albums under his own name in the late 1950s and early 1960s; the best-known is 1962's The Man with the Happy Sound.
