I don't intend to take $2.00 worth of food from anyone's mouth, but I
couldn't pass this one up...
You're probably referencing 'Boop-boop-de-doop' and other etymological
variations thereof. It's original 'popular' origin was from the song
"I Wanna be Loved By You" (lyrics below) performed by Marilyn Monroe.
I don't know the original movie or venue, but it sounds as if it
should have come from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (with both Jack Lemon
and Tony Curtis, both of whom are excellent in this flick). It
probably entered most contemporary American peoples' subconscious
through the medium of cartoon, in the 'person', if you will, of Betty
Boop (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Boop">this
Wikipedia entry</a>). I'm not certain Betty Boop ever sang the song,
but she frequently let out the phrase "Boop-Oop-A-Doop", always in
reference to her (perpetually 16-year old!) bimbo sexuality.
Search criteria: Google string search for, oddly, 'just you and nobody
else but you', the second line of the song, identified the Marilyn
references. The Betty Boop reference was (serendipitously) just
something I recalled from my youth misspent in front of the TV.
Lyrics - I Wanna Be Loved By You
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-de-boop!
I wanna be kissed by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I wanna be kissed by you, alone!
I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than, to feel the desire,
To make you my own!
Ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-doodly-dum-boo
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
I couldn't aspire,
To anything higher,
Than to feel the desire,
To make you my own,
Ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-doodly-dum-boo!
I wanna be loved by you, just you,
Nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you,
ba-deedly-deedly-deedly-dum-ba-boop-bee-doop
Boop-boop-a-doop! |
