[Maple]

1. You mean

boogie-woogie?

It's a kind of music. 8 beats to the bar.

[foxy]

2. It's what I use to say to my children

When I was playing pee-a-boo with them as infants.
But it was more like boogie-woogie-wogogie-woogie or something like that. :)

3. Actually, the English say boogie-woogie

But they give the double-ohs a long vowel ooh pronunciation.

8. The poster may have heard

"(Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the) King of Rock & Roll" by Long John Baldry, where he has a police officer and a magistrate pronounce it that way

6. They holler "Beat me up DADDY, beat met me daddy,

Eight to the BAR!"

[trof]

7. Not exactly "PC"

but I would guess (according to the Brits) a brown-skinned worker who cleans toilets.
Now...Boogie-Woogie is something entirely different.
Hot licks, frantic dances, pre-rock 'n roll.
"Beat me, daddy...8 to the bar"
"Negroe music"
It was predicted to be the downfall of the teen-age generation.
We fooled everyone and survived it.
