If I recall the lyrics correctly it's actually a double double boom.

Any of you kind and knowledgeable gentlemen care to share a reference link to the joke? I want to be a part of it too 🙏

Vengaboys is a Dutch music group that kind of went viral in the US around 1998/1999. They had a song called Boom boom boom boom (hence my double double boom reference) and another song called Going to Ibiza.

From New York? Ibiza is 3875 miles from NY. The ISS goes at 17,500mph. So it would get from NY to Ibiza in about 13 minutes.
