Yes, there actually was an island called "Kokomo" just like in the Beach Boys song. Today it's called "Sandals Cay" and is owned by Sandal's Resort. It sits in Montego Bay, Jamaica and holds only a few amenities and primarily caters to couples. It's this very tiny (2 and 1/2 acres) island that they are referring to in their song of the same name.
I heard the Beach Boys made up the name "Kokomo" for the song because they liked the way it sounded in the song.
No, it's a real island off the coast of Jamaica. It just got renamed by it's owners; a resort.

Get the kokomo mug.The phrase was first used in songs by artists such as The Beatles and shortly after by Simon & Garfunkel. This phrase has absolutley no definitive meaning given by dictionaries or artists such as John Lennon who first used it. The phrase has two other widely known spellings: goo goo g'joob and coo coo ca choo. It is believed to be used in songs and in 60s and 70s slang as a phrase left to be freely interpreted by anyone based on the surrounding context it is used in. The freedom to betsow any meaning upon the phrase makes it a statement about freedom of expression, which is a meaning in itself.
A widely accepted variation of the meaning is a slang way to assure the state of things is entirely fine; an expression of reassuring goodness.
In "That '70s Show", Donna Pinciotti said coo coo ca choo as an end to a random string of rhymes while stoned.

Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids
Kookookachu Mrs Robinson
--Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson"
"Everything is all right." "No worries." "All is good."

Get the kookoo mug.Commonly used by the amazingly smart gorilla, Koko, who speaks sign language. The sign for this is like giving yourself a hug and means something you like and/or love a lot. Koko signs it, but people usually say it and sign it.
