What is Shadoobie?

1. A musical reference associated with New York City (NYC), perhaps in criticism of the NYC of the 1970s. The Rolling Stones sang ". . . Shadoobie, my brains been battered. . . " in the song "Shattered" which was not only about Manhattan and NYC at large but possibly was in reference or response to Frank Sinatra's lyrical style, "Do be do be do", and his identity with NYC as established in his song "New York New York".

2. A Quake III Arena player (and first person shooter) extraordinaire formally known as ShimShamShadoobie ranked on theclq.com in 1999 to be the 308th best player out of more than 50,000 tracked players world wide.

"Uh-huh, this towns full of money grabbers

Go ahead, bite the big Apple, don't mind the maggots, huh Shadoobie, my brains been battered

My friends they come around they Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter

Pile it up, pile it high on the platter"
