La Booga Rooga was the second solo album by Andy Fairweather Low, and was released by A&M Records in 1975.
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", which incorporated steel guitar playing by B. J. Cole. 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.
The album also contained Fairweather Low's biggest selling single, "Wide Eyed and Legless", which reached No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart at Christmas time in 1975. However, his earlier single release of "La Booga Rooga" in September that year, failed to chart.Leo Sayer covered "La Booga Rooga" on his 1978 album, Leo Sayer.
All tracks composed by Andy Fairweather Low, except where noted.
