They Just Don't Write Song Lyrics Like They Used To

[Mickey Richaud]

Just heard this song - one of my favorites from the sixties:

"Oogum Boogum" by Brenton Wood

Oogum, Oogum, Boogum, Boogum, Boogum
Now baby you're casting your spell on me
Ah, I say Oogum, Oogum, Boogum, Boogum, Boogum
Now baby you're casting your spell on me
You got me doing funny things like a clown
A-just look at me
When you wear your high-heel boots
With your hip-huggin' suit
Huh, it's alright
You're outta sight
And you wear that cute mini-skirt
With your brother's sloppy shirt
Huh, I admit it, girl, that I can dig it
And I says Oogum, Oogum, Boogum, Boogum, Boogum
Now baby you're casting your spell on me
Ah, I say Oogum, Oogum, Boogum, Boogum, Boogum
Now baby you're casting your spell on me
You got me doing funny things like a clown
A-just look at me
When you wear your bell-bottom pants
I just stand there in a trance
Huh, I can't move, you're in the groove
Would you believe little girl, that I am crazy 'bout you?
Huh, now go on now, wit' your bad self
Oo-ooh, oo now, mercy mercy on me
Huh, alright
When you wear those big earrings, long hair, and things
You got style, girl, that shore is wild
And you wear that cute trench coat
And you're standing there posing,
You got soul, you got too much soul
I just says,
Who got the boo, says,
Who got the boo, says.
Who got the boo, now,
Castin' your spell on me.
Now I says,
Oo ga ka boo, says,
Oo ga ka boo, says,
Oo ga ka boo, now,
Castin' your spell on me.

Yep. I can recall "standing in a trance" and "doin funny things". That was a great song ... A great year.

Not much different than this classic....
