Mikkalai, your recent edit referencing the Boogaloo style of music is highly inaccurate. I don't think you've ever seen it. As a childhood fan of the show, I can vouch that the show's musical styling was nothing remotely similar to Latin dance music. Please revert your contribution.

Sorry, I just wanted to explain the origin of the name. I was not accurate enough. Mikkalai 02:04, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
No problem, but I don't think many will confuse "boogaloo" with "Bugaboo", they really aren't that similar sounding. I don't think the Boogaloo reference should be included. ---Jackel 18:10, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Boogaloo / Bugaloo etymology

While the style of music had no latin influence, it is possible that the producers were going for a play on words with "bug" and "boogaloo" in it's generic, layman's sense of meaning. Actually I had never thought of boogaloo as Latin. I had thought that it was the term from which boogie-woogie and boogie had been derived from. A dance party where people would dance to boogie.

I could be wrong.

Also, am I the only one who understood (as a kid) that the Bugaloos were fairies in Tranquility Forest? That is why they had the wings, were the same size as fireflies, why they could walk around inside an old jukebox, and why the forest was much larger in proportion. They were a fairy rock band!

Of course the thing I couldn’t understand is what Benita was. But then, not all fairies have wings.
