loo-loo.......sorry, can't help you there.

Goo-goos or good government guys, were political groups.
Goo-goos supported candidates who would fight for political reform. The term was first used in the 1890s by their detractors.

.......... I have a feeling this is NOT what you are looking for !!!!

Oompa-Loompas are dwarves in the fictional books
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator". They are only knee-high with astonishing haircuts.
In the original book Oompa-Loompas were black pygmies from "the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had been before". After the book was released in the US, complaints of racism caused the rewriting of the book and the characters as dwarves with "golden-brown hair" and "rosy-white" skin.
