: : : : I have heard this saying
on a few songs I do not know its meaning. For instance Mrs. Robinson a song by
Simon and Garfunkle uses the term coo coo ka choo Mrs Robinson any onfo would
be appreciated. Thanks

: : : Also in a Beatle's song--The
Walrus:
: : : "...Expert, texpert
: : : Smoking choker
: : : Dont you
think the joker laughs at you..."
: : : "...I am the walrus-- coo coo ka choo"
: : : Just my opinion but I don't think "coo coo ka choo" has a meaning---sounds like just nonsense syllables like "doo wop doo wop" or "shad a lack a jingle bop", "rama lama ding dong" and "boogity boogity shoo".
: : The Compleat Beatles gives the phrase as "goo goo g' joob." A Beatle-maniac walked by my computer just now and imparted this information. Where does that leave us?
: Hmmmm.......your
resident Beatle expert is correct.
: That leaves me in the same position as
I was last evening while transporting one of my home-for-the-holidays offsping
to the mall and having her explain to me the meaning of deconstructionism---I
love it.
I seem to recall the old Betty Boop animated cartoon character using the phrase in one or more of her songs. Could she have been created as a take-off on a real-life actress or singer who used the phrase?
