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.
