I'm pretty sure the joke doesn't work anyway in Spanish. I don't think they say "boo" when "booing" somebody. I could be wrong, but I think its origins are English. It'd kind of be like a joke where a guy sees his friend Linda and shouts out her name, "Hey Linda!" and gets a slap on the face from the girl passing him by. That joke would make no sense if you didn't know that Linda is a person's name and a euphemism for "sexy" at the same time. I'm surprised they kept the joke in there in the first place.

Yeah I was wondering about that, because I never thought of "boo" as a word really. I assumed it transcended language barriers, so I was curious if this even made any sense. If not, what's the Spanish equivalent of boo?

It's "boo!" but the "b" sound is lighter in Spanish, so it sounds more like "bUoo!" What I want to know is do Spanish speakers know whoBruce Springsteen is?

Cool. I was thinking it was kind of like the sound a Rooster makes (in America it's cockadoodledo and in Spanish it's kikirikí, two entirely different human language interpretations on a non-human sound), but listening again I did hear a bit of a "B" when they start yelling. I guess like most words its origins are Latin (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=boo) and was mostly popular in England, so I guess I was half-right, but was also used to Italy and most likely Spain around the same time. :)
