La Booga Rooga

About La Booga Rooga

La Booga Rooga was the second solo album by Andy Fairweather Low, and was released by A&M Records in 1975. It was Fairweather Low's most successful album, with an eclectic musical styling. The opening track was a cover of Clarence Williams' 1933 penned track "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It", which incorporated steel guitar playing by B. J. Cole. Another offering, "Champagne Melody", was styled as lounge music, whilst the album's funk-driven title track became a minor UK hit in March 1976, when covered by an Australian female vocal group, The Surprise Sisters. The album also contained Fairweather Low's biggest selling single, "Wide Eyed and Legless", which reached No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart at Christmas time in 1975. However, his earlier single release of "La Booga Rooga" in September that year, failed to chart. Leo Sayer covered "La Booga Rooga" on his 1978 album, Leo Sayer. more »

Don't look back, that'll get you nowhere 
A wall to wall suit and space circus hair 
One step forward, one step back 
That's what happens and that's a fact 

To tell the truth, you raise up your hand 
Don't write me no invitations in the sand 
And when you talk, say what you mean 
Just keep it dry, lord, and keep it clean 

[Chorus]
Watch out for la booga rooga 
Some you win and some you loosa 
Watch out for la booga rooga 
Some you win and some you loosa 

I don't know why and I can't explain 
Why I'm lost on a street with no name 
But that's alright, that's okay 
I just feel like I'm slipping away 
Satellite mama, if you are near 
Hey, the party's over, now just get me outa here 
Silent night, watch over me 
See that nobody writes me into the dream 

[Chorus]

I'm on fire, inside my head 
Someone put out the light 
And they sent the world to bed 
It's not too late, but I just can't stop 
I think this time I'm going over the top 
Hey, Mr. Dogface, please let me in 
Say, don't you think that I'm worth rememberin' 
Watch your step, watch what you do 
Cause you need me much more than I need you 

[Chorus]
