The Mighty Boosh is not the same as The Mighty B!

But they both have cool songs!
The Mighty Boosh gives us The Ape of Death.
Whereas The Mighty B! gives us Running with the Rainbow Unicorn.

Also, when I close my eyes, people disappear!
Barney Google, with the go-go-googley eyes
That's what I started humming immediately. Then I felt old.

It's like saying "The United States has always been a country."
