On the TV show “I Love Lucy” (which is about a wife constantly deceiving her husband) Desi Arnaz, who is Cuban, played a bandleader who continuously sang “Babalu.”
Babalú Ayé is known as the “Father of the World” and is an deity in the Lukumi traditions of Santeria and is also known as Saint Lazarus in Nigeria, etc.
This seems to have been a “fun” and “innocent” manner whereby to call upon occult forces to empower a TV show (which, again, is about how funny it is that a wife constantly deceiving her husband).
