	...i always thought that Dr. Robert Moog's famous last name was pronounced like a cow "moo" + g i was wrong...check this out: [from wikipedia] The surname Moog is one of the most frequently mispronounced names in popular culture. The following interview excerpt reveals the correct pronunciation: — Reviewer: First off: Does your name rhyme with "vogue" or is like a cow’s "moo" plus a "G" at the end? — Dr. Robert Moog: It rhymes with vogue. That is the usual German pronunciation. My father's grandfather came from Marburg, Germany. I like the way that pronunciation sounds better than the way the cow's "moo-g" sounds. In a deleted scene from the DVD version of the documentary Moog, Moog describes the three pronunciations of the name Moog: the original, Dutch pronunciation ("moch"), the later, German pronunciation (the preferred, rhymes with vogue), and the more common pronunciation in English-speaking countries (with the long /ü/ sound). Moog reveals that different parts of his family prefer different pronunciations of the name, but he (and most certainly his wife) prefers the German pronunciation. hmmm...very interesting
