Great Googly Moogly

Whenever someone realizes something surprising, they say this phrase

Great Googly Moogly

Ohhh boyyee. Great Googly Moogly,That thang is fuckin' juicy!

great googly moogly

An exclamation of joy, awe, or fright. ...An utterance of great surprise.

great googly-moogly 

interjection, similar to "great Caesar's ghost" and "jumpin' Jehosaphat," this nonsense phrase can be heard in the song "Goin' Down Slow" by Howlin Wolf, and in Frank Zappa's song "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow."
sure, anyone can shout "holy shit" or "jesus fucking christ." but it takes a person of rare insight and a sense of musical history to say "great googly-moogly" without sounding infantile.
