Hullabaloo is a 1940 musical comedy film directed by Edwin L. Marin and written by Nat Perrin. It stars Frank Morgan, Virginia Grey, Dan Dailey, Billie Burke, Donald Meek, Reginald Owen and Connie Gilchrist. Jack Albertson, Leo Gorcey and Arthur O'Connell appear in bit roles.
Morgan is the star of the film, as a fading actor who is trying to revive his career by starring on a radio program. When his most recent broadcast, a science fiction invasion from Mars story, panics the nation, he is fired. He decides to jumpstart his career by creating a new show which features his talented children.
A highlight of the film is Morgan's reenactment of the current MGM hit film Boom Town, with Morgan's character, Frank Merriweather, supposedly imitating the voices of the stars of that film. In fact, the Boom Town stars' voices were dubbed over Morgan's. The voices of Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Spencer Tracy, and Hedy Lamarr are used.

Hullabaloo (or "Hulla") was a rave promotions company based in Toronto, Canada. Hullabaloo was started in 1997 by DJ Anabolic Frolic as a way to promote Happy Hardcore music and the kind of event that got back to the roots of what a rave was.
Hullabaloo held a total of 44 events in eight years, attended by over 100,000 people. Many of the events sold out in advance.
The first Hullabaloo party was "Something Good", held on June 21, 1997. The rave was hosted at The SpacE! (aka "The E! Space") at 28 Gunns Rd., Toronto. Party headliner, DJ Hixxy from England, was held up by customs at Pearson International Airport and was unable to perform.
Hullabaloo reached its peak in popularity in 1999 when crowds of 4,000 were attending their events. The death of Allen Ho at a Hullabaloo event in 1999 resulted in a coroner's inquest and in increased scrutiny from the media and the local authorities. Faced with legal battles and logistical problems with venues and police, Hullabaloo was forced to cancel an event and downsize as a result.
Hullabaloo eventually found its home at The Opera House in Toronto where it stayed until it ended.
Tickets for the final event, "All Good Things", on July 9, 2005 sold out in a record-setting 8 days, 5 months in advance (Tickets went on sale February 2005). Seventeen of the events were promoted without a flyer, relying solely on word of mouth of its die-hard fans.
Hullabaloo returned for a reunion party, "Hullabaloo: One More Group Hug", on July 14, 2007. They also screened a movie, Hullabaloo: A Raving Chronicle on July 13, 2007. Tickets went on sale March 5, 2007, and were sold out as of early morning March 7, 2007. There were various ticket packages available, and all of them came with special keepsakes such as an exclusive copy of the never-released Happy 2B Hardcore: Chapter 8 CD.
Hullabaloo is a punk/ grunge band from Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, started in 1986 by guitarist/vocalist Sluggo and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist TQ. The band cites myriad influences from John Coltrane to Iron Maiden and King Diamond contributing to their at times "surreal" and "psychedelic" sound. They also employed unusual instrumentation for a band of their ilk; TQ playing trumpet, tenor sax and electric piano in addition to vocals.
Hullabaloo released several LPs and EPs on various labels over the years, and changed from a quartet to a quintet and back again with varying lineups. Guitarist Kevin James joined the band in 1989 and was a mainstay, with TQ, until the band fizzled out in 1993.
Recently, the band has released several archived live performances in digital format, and has announced a reunion show for WMBR's Pipeline show 25th Anniversary Festival.
Usage examples of "hullabaloo".
While we waited for the finding and unharbouring of the hart, while I held myself in readiness for the chase and listened for the baying of the scent, while we followed the ruses and doublings of the quarry as he ran back on his own tracks to strengthen the scent then bounded sideways to confuse the hounds or entered and left the streamlets that run through the woods so as to break his traces, while I galloped with the others and followed the sound of the horn and shouted with all the power of my lungs and ducked the low branches, amidst all this hullabaloo and headlong career, I still drifted on the dark lake, still heard the words of love and promise she had given me, still felt the ring where it lay threaded against my breastbone.
