The 60's music group 'the archies' have a song titled ' feeling so good' where they sing about a girl named skooby-do. Got me wondering if there a meaning to the name and maybe that's where the Scooby-Doo movies got their name from too. Anyone knows this? Have searched the net without success. Im stuck, HELP????

Hmmmm.....
I was a teen when the Archies were popular, but scooby-doo was never an expression any of us used where we lived.

This article http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/scoobydoo.asp
mentions that "the archies" was created as a reaction to violence in cartoons, but that might be coincidence.

The site where I usually refer to for phrases -- http://www.phrases.org.uk -- says nothing about it.

Also appears to be rhyming slang for "clue"

Thanks for the efforts! We got a nice link to a phrase page anyway and learned some cockney.

There’s a character named Skooby-Doo in a tv show from 1963. Earliest I’ve been able to find.

Hi Greell441,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com!

That link did not seem to work.

Scooby-Doo was a dog in an animated series starting around 1969 -- I never watched it in the original, but my kids watched the reruns endlessly.

All the best,
VS
