Hi A Foo Foo band is a band made up of anyone who can make a tune out of something. Like a comb and tissue, or a pair of table spoons, rattled together, and banged on the knees etc. The Foo Foo Band performs sailors' songs and dances. A Foo Foo Band used to be an impromptu band, consisting of the ship's crew on the late 19th century sailing boats. Andrea New Zealand
