Each time that we're alone
Boogity boogity boogity
Boogity boogity boogity shoo
Sets my baby's heart all aglow
DW's infamous words to begin a NASCAR Race
Boogity Boogity Boogity!!! Let's Go Racin' Boys!!!!
Originally used by Grand Ole Opry comedian Jerry Clower (1926-1998) in a tale of coon hunting, wherein a 'city feller' brings a chimpanzee to a coon hunt to prove the chimp's superior skills over traditional coon hunting dogs. Recently adopted by NASCAR color commentator and retired champion driver Darrell Waltrip, shouted as the green flag waves to begin the race, followed by "Let's go racin, boys!"
"That ol' chimpanzee went up that tree, boogity boogity boogity..."
Usually with three boogities, a term used by Darral Waltrip, NASCAR announcer, at the beginning of each race to tell the drivers to get a move on...
"Boogity, boogity, boogity boys! Let's go racin'"
1) The infamous phrase--derived from the sounds made by horses galloping--that starts races and sells t-shirts. Translates into: "Hang on! Here we go!" (Darrell Waltrip, 2/2/03, The Cincinnati Enquirer)
"Let's go racin', boys! BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY! Gearshift them things!" (Darrell Waltrip from the Dodge/Save-Mart 350 @ Infineon Raceway; Sonoma, California. 6/24/03)
As a discriptor on how fast someone, or something, is moving. Used a lot in southern anecdotes it has been adopted as a trademark of good ol boy Darrell Waltrip.
Also used by southern humorist, song writer Ray Stevens, in "The Streak".
"Here he come, boogity boogity boogity"!
"Here he come. Streakin. round the grease rack. Boogity oboogity boogity."
"Ol Blue come down thru the holler , chasin' that coon, boogity boogity boogity."
An onomatopoetic expression of running or other hurried activity, characteristic of traditional African and African American narration. Occurs in Ralph Waldo Ellison's "Invisible Man;" metrically identical with "imbili imbili," the formula used for the same purposes by African griots -- for example, Fa-Digi Sisoko's Son-Jara. Alternatively, "boogety boogety," "boogedy boogedy."
"So here he comes, runnin down the street boogity boogity till he gets tot he corner."
