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.
