When Lewis Carroll wrote his famous epic poem called Jabberwocky, it made sense in a delightful, humorous and nonsensical way. All these years later there is still room for language that hovers around words of whimsey and dramatic play. A new cadre of talents have released a couple of electro songs full of energetic pop (EP), with one of them bearing the equally whimsical title of “Googly Goo.” For various reasons, the group, called hooyoosay, elected to go a non-traditional route and opted for no credit and no gigs when they released the single on iTunes and Amazon. Contributors to the ongoing project have changed as hooyoosay continued producing additional pieces, such as when they released another mirthful song called “Tare Too Te Rut Te.” Like the first signature piece, this one reeks of flightiness. The goofy Googly Goo Kid, as seen on the smile-laden YouTube video, has served the cement in the hooyoosay brand.
