Great googly moogly!
Now, Bogie, it takes a real sophisticate to be familiar with this term. A man of letters.

I thought I knew the provenance, from "Stranded In the Jungle" by the Cadets, 1956. But it turns out that the phrase used in that great work was "great googah-moogah." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h9PbMucPXU at 1:29. Similar, but not usable for authentication.

But this exact vocalization was, so far as I could tell, performed first by Howlin' Wolf in "Goin' Down Slow" in 1961.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s865qLWy8-g at 2:41.

Since the Cadets' rendition of this venerable exclamation predates Wolf's by five full years, it may well be argued that we should give credit to them anyway, and consider his later rendition a mispronunciation of the original.

True That! I just assumed it was Bogie hitting the sauce or sniffing paint fumes again... :wink:

Now, Tony, I've been called many things in my life but to call me a sophisticate is just going too far :lol:

I can't believe how slow this part of the project is going. I have started to wonder if my priorities are in order.
Just about done with the galley refit and hope to start back to finishing the rest of the boat.

I found a tank that is design for potable water and the right size for the area.

Wow! That is looking great. There's a lot of really nice work going on there and that stuff isn't supposed to be done fast :D Don't mind admitting I'm still jealous.
