It's interesting the use of "palooza" since originally the word "lollapalooza" was used as shibboleth during the Second World World in the Pacific Theater. It was used to identify friendlies and challenge unknowns. The Asians they faced you were challenged with the word and couldn't pronounce it were shot on sight.
