1975 studio album by Andy Fairweather Low
La Booga Rooga was the second solo album by Andy Fairweather Low , and was released by A&M Records in 1975.[1]
It was Fairweather Low's most successful album, with an eclectic musical styling. The opening track was a cover of Clarence Williams ' 1933 penned track "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It ",[1] which incorporated steel guitar playing by B. J. Cole .[4] Another offering, "Champagne Melody", was styled as lounge music , whilst the album's funk -driven title track became a minor UK hit in March 1976, when covered by an Australian female vocal group, The Surprise Sisters.[5]
The album also contained Fairweather Low's biggest selling single, "Wide Eyed and Legless ",[1] which reached No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart at Christmas time in 1975.[6] However, his earlier single release of "La Booga Rooga" in September that year, failed to chart.[7] [6] Leo Sayer covered "La Booga Rooga" on his 1978 album, Leo Sayer .[8]
