“Boogaloo Down Broadway”. Johnny C. 1967. Infectious R & B so strap on the guns and let’s go blow some sh*t away.

“Back off, Boogaloo”
(Written by Ringo Starr & George Harrison)

Back off, Boo-ga-loo
What d’yer think you’re gonna do
I got a flash right from the start

Wake up, meat head
Don’t pretend that you are dead
Get yourself up off the cart

Starr (vocals, drums, percussion)
Harrison (guitars)
Gary Wright (piano)
Klaus Voormann (bass, saxophone).

Where does that put the ADL?

[Perseverando]

Ringo Starr

“Back Off Boogaloo”

Oh yeah, I remember that one now. Never really cared for Ringo's music, but that was probably his best.

Well, 1984 _was_ 35 years ago!

The ADL is anti Zionist. They are a cadre of New York JINO’s who support commie candidates.

[Perseverando]

Where does that put the ADL?

As an organization they align with the bad guys, IMHO. I don't think they even support Israel as much as the average Bible believing Christian.

[Beowulf9]

Yeah, but if I WAS 35 wouldn’t I be considered ‘young’ ;)

“Boogaloo” has its roots in decades of jokes about an old movie: the 1984 breakdancing film Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo

I recall the word boogaloo from the late 50s, early 60s years before breakdancing. Who edits this nonsense?

Very well put! I agree completely!

[Boogieman]

That's a good one.

I think the Zydeco version was based on an old song by Les McCann, which was jazzier, but the same basic melody:

Les McCann - Boo Go Loo

[BradyLS]

Huh. I always thought the refrain was “Mad dog boogaloo...” Another mondegreen for the books.

[BradyLS]

There was an old Syd & Marty Kroft kids show from the early 70’s called “The Bugaloos.”

I don't know. I guess you do. Me, I just post articles and try to make semi-intelligent comments.

[bigbob]

Sounds racist

[JonPreston]

Exactly. The word has been around for at least 50-60 years.

mondegreen!...............We have our greens on Sunday, not Monday!.................

Tom & Jerrio: "Boo-ga-loo"

From 1966.

You notice they take something they don’t like and then look for a way to tie it to anti-Semites.

Most of us here support Israel, most of us Christians but a number of us are in fact Jewish. But don’t mess with the Second Amendment. Or the consequences may be messy.
