Rumor has it that ‘Back Off Boogaloo’ was directed at Paul McCartney's commentary to the press about the other Beatles, but Ringo claims that it came from having dinner with Marc Bolan of T-Rex. Apparently, Bolan peppered his conversation with the word “boogaloo” frequently, which gave Starr the idea. Coming home, he discovered that his recorder was out of batteries, so he borrowed some from his kids’ toys in order to get his ideas down on tape.
