Baba Booey a Historic Mistake?
This may be neither here nor there, and will only ever be a historic footnote compared to the massive phenomena "Baba Booey" became, but you can clearly hear on the recording here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJW0uXjqY48&ab_channel=LouSassoul at 15:15 that Gary says "Baba Boy" not "Baba Booey." Baba Looey is also known as Baba Boy so it's quite possible that Gary knew what he was saying because he was a collector and connoisseur whereas Howard didn't know the name Baba Boy and assumed Gary flubbed the word. If someone would have pointed out that Baba Boy was a nickname of Baba Looey in the moment, the whole thing may never have taken off. Funny stuff.
