The title is a play on the line "boop-oop-a-doop" from the song "I Wanna Be Loved by You," made famous by singer Helen Kane and by the Fleischer Studios cartoon character Betty Boop.
Born to Joseph and Sarah Goldberg Safier in Monessen, PA, on September 9, 1912, the youngest of five siblings, “Rody” Safier composed twenty songs while still in high school, and played two of them for Helen Kane in the Stanley Theater.
In May 1932, Helen Kane filed a $250,000 lawsuit against Max Fleischer and Paramount Publix Corporation, contending that Betty Boop's "boop-oop-a-doop" style constituted a "deliberate caricature" that gave her "unfair competition."
