I love how the backing vocalists in the Louis Prima recording sound like the microphone was 10 feet away.

Whenever I hear Louis Prima I think of the great flick, Big Night.

I remember the child's bogey man being a "cucu".

Coco is a name given to parrots and Perfume design legends and a big nut, coconut.

Speaking of which, where is titus?

There are more Indian restaurants here than there are reservations in Oklahoma.

I thought they said, "Bogie".

We'll always have the Panama Canal.

To me, a boogie was something in my nose that I wasn't allowed to pick with my finger.

But that was way back in the days when King Louie was an orangutan who could sing and dance but who didn't know how to make fire.

Nowadays I pick my nose with vigor!

Do not fear the boogie.

Unfortunate name for that artist, Sixty.

That reminds me... I needed to download an Elton John song...

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone...

Haven't yet figured out a way to substitute any of that with "boogie man".

"Burning man", maybe?

Nothing worse than the booger man comin' round stickin' his finger up your nose.

Historical Note: For the uninitiated the term "Bogey Man/Men" is derived from the name given to the fierce, merciless pirates that lived (and their descendents still do) on the Indonesian Island of "Bogey" and preyed on local shipping..
