The pulling song was a tribute to recently departed Fingolstone Booga. The charismatic front man had quit the band after Skeggy Market. He said he wanted to go and do some weightlifting?

During his days in the band he had been the star attraction for the ladies and the pulling song was to illustrate his considerable talents as a pull guy. It also had hidden depth, rare for a Fingolstones song, in that it touched upon the burgeoning romance with the woman who was to be his only real true love, Hayley Daykin a.k.a Daykey Poo.
Theirs was a classic love story, boy meets girl, girl falls for boy, boy drinks lots of beer, girl tries to get him to grow up, boy drinks even more beer, they fall out, they make up, they eventually split.
The song also alludes to his burgeoning alcoholism and subtly tells how as the booze took hold he was forced to get more and more drunk before going out pulling, leading to some incredibly disturbing and frightening encounters with Mooses.
The song has lasted the test of time as Booga is now back in the situation he was 30 yrs ago, as the song so prophetically puts it "Loads of girls and beer". Well loads of beer anyway.

Ratted again, Booga makes his move on yet another Moose.
So here is a story
From a long time ago
When how to pull a chick
Was the in thing to know
David was a young boy
Adept at this game
All the girls
Knew his name

(Chorus)
Booga your pulling has won you much fame
But don't let your girlfriends catch you out at this game

There was Susan, there was Ilka
There was Rachel Hall to
But the one that finally got his heart
Was Hayley Daykey Poo
They met at the pictures
The film I can't name
Booga was back on the game

(Chorus)

Oh what a Pull Guy that Booga boy is
With all of that talent
He'll be in Show Biz
Pulling for the cameras all of the day
No one could say he was gay

(Chorus)

But if you want to get a girl on your (pull) list
It's off to the Salty Club
To get yourself p****d
Pulling and drinking all of the year
Loads of girls and beer

(Chorus)
