Hully Gully (or "Halligalli" in German) is a word from the English-speaking area that has now also found its way into German. In English it is a form of reinforcement such as in our case holterdipolter or haywire . Originally it is supposed to come from a traditional game with nuts or marbles.

"Hully Gully" or "Halli Galli" are also used to describe:

  • a 1960s party dance supposed to resemble the twist ,
  • "Baby Hully Gully", a piece of music by The Olympics from 1960,
  • "Hully-Gully", a piece of music by Udo Jürgens from 1964,
  • a ride in which the seats are on the edge of a rotating and inclined disc (also in operation as "Disco Fever"),
