My girlfriend uttered a Vietnamese phrase the other night, “boola boola,” or something. I don’t have any idea what it means, but I went into a song,
Boola boolaaaaa
Boola boola
Boola boola
Boola boola
Boola boola
Can’t guess what it is? I wasn’t sure either, but we both wanted to know. I did some looking around, and I guess Boola Boola is the Yale fight song. That definitely wasn’t what I was thinking about, so I tried different “what was the song that went…” combinations, and eventually found it. The lyrics are just as crazy they sounded to me. (Hint: It was banned on many radio stations, but the title subject was the writer’s cat).
