Contrary to popular myth, "boola boola" doesn't mean anything, it is just a song written Yale Bowl. The author was 1901 Yale graduate Allan M. Hirsh, who adapted the song from an 1898 song called "La Hoola Boola."

Why does Buddy Holly say boola boola to his girlfriend in the move Buddy Holly story?

"Boola Boola" is the title of Yale University's football fight song. His girlfriend was going off to college, to hang out with sorority-types who love to go to stupid football games, and he figured she'd be singing a lot of cheer songs at games. He was being sarcastic.

How did the Oklahoma City thunder get their name?

The University of Oklahoma is NOT called the Boomer Sooners; they are called the Sooners after the enterprising settlers who sneaked into Oklahoma Territory before the official start of the run at noon on April 22, 1889 (i.e., sooner than they should have). The boomers were a group (most notably David L. Payne, for whom Payne County, OK is named) who agitated for more than ten years for opening Oklahoma to settlement. The University of Oklahoma fight song, "Boomer Sooner," was fashioned after the Yale fight song, "Boola Boola" and the University of North Carolina fight song, "I'm a Tar Heel Born."
