Boogity boogity boogity

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..."
