"Fyra bugg och en Coca Cola" ("Four chewing gums (Bugg was a brand of chewing gum that was popular in Sweden in the 60's-80's) and a Coca Cola"), also called "Fyra bugg", is a Swedish language song, written by Mikael Wendt and Christer Lundh. Swedish dansband and pop singer Lotta Engberg won the Swedish Melodifestivalen 1987 in Sweden with this song. The lyrics are about summer. Because of international advertising rules, the song was renamed to "Boogaloo" in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987.
