Boogadaboogadaboogada! is the second studio album by the Chicago-based punk rock band Screeching Weasel. The album was originally released on vinyl in December 1988 through Roadkill Records. It was the group's only album to feature Fish on bass and the last with Steve Cheese on drums, both leaving the band shortly after the album's release. Although still influenced by hardcore punk, the album also shows hints of the band's later Ramones-inspired sound.[1]

The initial pressing consisted of 2,000 copies, with an additional 176 being pressed by Roadkill co-owner Dave Best to fill up extra jackets he had.[3] It was remixed for release in the UK in early 1989 and the remixed version is found on every subsequent release of the album. It was re-released on CD, vinyl, and cassette by Lookout! Records (LK 62) on September 25, 1992 was later remastered and reissued on CD by Asian Man Records in 2005. Recess Records reissued a vinyl version in 2008 and then on CD in 2010.[4] It is the best-selling album of the band's discography.[5][6] The record also became the blueprint for the nascent pop punk genre, with a legion of bands and fans alike citing it as influential.[7]
