History
Etymology
A related form appears in 1953 as the title of the song “Good Googa Mooga,” a B-side recorded by the Magic Tones, and in the song “Stranded in the Jungle” recorded in 1956 by The Cadets, who added the line “Great goo-ga-moo-ga!” which did not appear in other artists' recordings of the song made that same year. The current form first appears in Howlin' Wolf's 1961 cover of blues singer St. Louis Jimmy Oden's 1942 song “Goin' Down Slow". The 'great googly moogly' version of the term is heard in the song "Nanook Rubs It", the second part of the Yellow Snow saga, on Frank Zappa's 1974 album 'Apostrophe.'
