The latest joke craze is inventing names for imaginary discothèques. Thus, they dance the real Watusi at the Belgian Congo-Go, do the monkey at the Malay Archipelago-Go. There’s a Santo Domingo-Go, a San Diego-Go, and a Pago Pago-Go. Paris’s Left Bank has a new fruggery called the Vincent Van Gogh-Gogh (it’s just across the street from the more famous Deux Magots-Go). Duke Ellington’s new place is called the Mood Indigo-Go, and the squares out in Pasadena are in waltz time at the Long, Long Ago-Go. But the most popular of all is a Jewish discothèque in The Bronx called the Let My People Go-Go.
