sometimes I wonder if the cosplaytriot types are even aware that they're Googlebombing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogaloo_(funk_dance) has the semantics I had expected for the syntax.

It even made it across the Iron Curtain: https://youtu.be/QSc3uk8Q5w4?t=4881

(1986, so a bit later than 1984's Electric Boogaloo, and a bit earlier than the 1989 end of the wall)

I would assume the hit Ringo Starr song Back Off Boogaloo from 1972, which is one of his most popular non-Beatles singles, might be more likely to be known by the average person.

That's funny, I've never heard that on "Classic Rock" stations; guess Top 40's gonna Top.

(incidentally, "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'" is also from 1972, but there's a lot on the Billboard Top 100 with which I'm unfamiliar. Thanks for giving me a new queue!)
