The Lyrics

When I took a philosophy of religion course in college, the textbook was "Philosophy of Religion: Contemporary Perspectives", by Norbert O. Schedler. In two chapters thereof, the author uses the phrase "Igly Boo is Farkel" as a generic model of central religious assertions. This song was inspired by that phrase.
Igly Boo can make this world seem right
Igly Boo can make the darkness bright
Igly Boo, oh, you alone can thrill me like you do
And can fill my heart with love for Igly Boo

Igly Boo can make a change in me
For, Igly Boo, you are my destiny
You are farkel and I understand the magic that you do
You're my dream come true, my farkel Igly Boo

Igly Boo can make a change in me
For, Igly Boo, you are my destiny
You are farkel and I understand the magic that you do
You're my dream come true, my farkel Igly Boo

(Farkel Igly Boo)

Sheesh - How long is that author's hair and what has he been smoking? Still an interesting read on a nice slow 50's song. I'll five you on it but give that author to the one's guy.

Igly Boo and Farkel made me giggle, 'cause it was setting ridiculous names to a serious song. :D 5's

I'm still no clearer on what Igly Boo is, or why Norbert thinks it's Farkle, but after a laugh like that, I'm happy enough to just accept it as fact.

5s, for the general farkleness of Igly Boo :-D
