Today I also learned that the novel Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (that the movie was loosely based on) was written by Ian Fleming (I learned that watching Jay Leno's Garage on YouTube).

And that the name of the book was derived from a lewd/bawdy WWI barracks song. But I can find only mentions that there is a song, can't find the lyrics.

I did find that chitty bang bang referred to the paper pass (chit) you had to have to leave the barracks in order to visit the brothel.
