Product Description
CD Description
* 24 gems of wisdom calculated to expand the mind while causing the brain to shut down.
* Another collection of totally crazed tracks, designed at the same time to make the listener move uncontrollably, to follow up on 2003's very successful `Great Googa Mooga'. It's taken Ace that long, as they had to wait for the compiler to re-emerge from the sanitorium after the first effort. People are still talking about the first volume, and some people think that a second volume already exists!
* This time Ace have tried to avoid the more obvious, like the wonderful doo wop group music that perhaps dominated the first volume, and have wandered into the more crazed area of sixties insanity, while presenting plenty of lunacy from the first era of rock `n' roll.
* You're going to love this set - "Great Googly Moo" - and then you're going to run away screaming...

Hey you little bop a dee gimme back my boodle um bee,
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Googly Moo (Audio CD)
There's a long tradition of nonsense in pop music which can be traced back to a time before even records began-songs from the Music Hall like Tara Boom Dee Ay. Jazz was early into the idiom with the invention of scat singing and the later use of a secret language in the Bop era
Its also worth noting that Nursery Rhymes and folk music have provided their own share of nonsense lyrics But by the end of the 40s blacks developed the language known as Jive Talk and white moved in with the advent of independent radio with deejays inventing their own language some of which found its way into pop music.An early exponent was Nervous Norvus who further developed Slim Gaillard's Zorch language.In fact Gaillard published a guide book to the language Whether its Papa Oom Mow Mow,Rama Lama Ding Dong or all the variants of Shoo bedooby doom its all good clean fun and is as much an Art Form as any poetry.

Pure Non- sense - Great Oogly Moogly !,
By
This review is from: Great Googly Moo (Audio CD)
If you have purchased or heard the first offering from Ace in this series (Great Googa Mooga) then you will know what you are going to get with this new selection.
For those who are unaware of the previous compilation then what you have here is 24 tracks with nonsense content - i.e. think Rivingtons Papa Oo Mow Mow etc. This compilation mixes Rock and Roll, R&B , soul and general up beat pop tracks, all of very high quality and excellent songs in there own right. More familiar artists / tracks will be Little Richard - Tutti Frutti, The Rivingtons - The Birds The Word (also included is the response from Wade Curtiss called Puddy Cat - where everyone knows the bird is the word but the cat ate the bird!!)and many artists of which tracks may be new, The Spaniels, The Drifters , Shirley Ellis and The Kingsmen. I have only played the CD once so far, but standout tracks for me are The Kingsmen with The Gamma Goochie, The Boss-tones with Mope Itty Mope, and 2 songs that cries out to be played loud is Lavern Baker's Pig Latin Blues and Shirley Gunters - Ipsy Opsie Ooh. My tastes predominantly lie in 60s Soul/R&B and New Breed R&B, so was very pleased with the amount of R&B tracks on this CD, and tracks i dont previously have, which for me is part of the appeal to try something new!! The whole CD is absolutely first rate for upbeat tracks and the booklet as per Aces normal standards is a staggering 23 Pages full of detail. In my opinion this is better than the first volume, even though Tom & Jerrio's Great Googa Mooga is one of my all time favs!! I would reccommend this album if you like R&B and R&R, but it honestly mixes it all up, Great Oogly Moogly
