'''''Moog Droog''''' is the second EP by the Super Furry Animals.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20241127114128/https://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/super-furry-animals/pages/biography.shtml</ref><ref>https://trouserpress.com/reviews/super-furry-animals/</ref> It was originally released in October 1995 by the Welsh label Ankst Records, and reissued in May 1997. The two releases have different covers: the original version depicts a faceless humanoid brushing dust under a carpet, while the "export" version simply has a red/orange bear drawn on a blue background.
==Title and meanings== "Moog Droog" is an ironic anglicised spelling of the Welsh phrase ''mwg drwg'' ("bad smoke"), slang for marijuana, making a pun on the Moog synthesizer (and/or its inventor) and the slang word "droog" (based on the Russian for "friend") from ''A Clockwork Orange''. The letter ''w'' can be a vowel in Welsh, and in the phrase ''mwg drwg'' it is pronounced approximately like the English ''oo'' in "zoo" or "too" (although the name "Moog" is more correctly pronounced {{IPAc-en|m|oʊ|ɡ}}, rhyming with "vogue").
Likewise, the track "pamV" is an anglicised spelling of the Welsh ''pam fi'' ("why me"), with the word ''fi'' ("me") pronounced like the letter ''v'' in English ({{IPA|cy|viː|IPA}}).
"Sali Mali" is the name of a popular Welsh children's character who appears in books and has a series on Welsh television. She runs a cafe in the fictional village Pentre Bach ("small village"). Many Welsh-speaking children (and one assumes members of SFA) learnt to read by reading Sali Mali books.
==Availability== Due to their rarity, ''Moog Droog'' and the previous EP ''Llanfair... (In Space)'' are two of the most sought-after Super Furry Animals releases.
The first and fourth tracks have since been released on the compilation album ''Out Spaced'', and the third track on re-issues of the album ''Mwng''. The second track was later re-recorded for the album ''Fuzzy Logic'' and released as a single.
