Boogadaboogadaboogada! is the second studio album by the American punk rock band Screeching Weasel. It was originally released on vinyl on December 16, 1988 through Roadkill Records. Roadkill also licensed the release to Wetspots Records for release in the UK the same year. At the time, the album had sold around 5,000 which was seen as an accomplishment for smaller Punk Rock bands.[2] The sound of the album is known for being a mix of Hardcore and their later Pop Punk style.

Larry Livermore, owner of Lookout Records, originally made a deal with singer Ben Weasel to put the album on his label but it was already committed to Roadkill Records.[3] Despite this, it was re-released on CD, vinyl, and cassette by Lookout! Records (LK 62) on September 25, 1992. In 2005, the album was reissued on CD by Asian Man Records. Recess Records reissued a vinyl version in 2008 and on CD in 2010.[4][5]
