What does "Baba Booey" mean?
It is a word or nickname that comes from Gary
Dell’Abate, the executive producer of the Howard Stern radio show. In 1990
Dell’Abate was attempting to explain an animated cel he wanted to buy. It featured Quick Draw McGraw and his sidekick, Baba Looey. However, Dell’Abate accidentally said, “Baba Booey” instead of Baba Looey. Stern and others on the show immediately began teasing Dell’Abate with it and nicked named him "Baba Booey" and it still lives on today.
