ON this date in 1907 - Nicaraguan troops took Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras.
Freedom Fighters Bun Man and Mr. Purple were w/ the Nicaraguan troops when they stormed the capital.
Following the locals who were shouting Tegucigalpa or Bust, Bun Man decided to shorten the slogan as he was having trouble spouting out Tegucigalpa.

Bun started shouting "Galpa, Galpa Hey, Galpa, Galpa Ho..."; the locals immediately turned around and moved away from the Bun.
What was this strange incantation he was saying?
Actually, the Bun was on to something and years later this phrase would be used in the punk rocker band The Ramones' 'Pinhead'...
(Give it a listen...)
