-yeah, it's properly pronounced to rhyme with "vogue" or "rogue", but i
still think "Moo g" sounds cooler, and lots of times you see it written in
puns and stuff such that it should be the latter (i.e. the dark side of the
moog, Moogerfooger).. it doesn't help that lots of famous people go and
pronounce it wrong in the media (the beastie boys said it "Moo g" in a
couple of songs, for one)
i'm so excited that i replied to this question before anyone else :]
