At the end of most of his turns, Boyfriend performs a V-sign pose.
Trivia
Bopeebo's title is an onomatopoeia of some of the noises that Daddy Dearest and Boyfriend make while singing. In particular, the sounds "Bo-Pee-Bo" can be roughly heard first at around 0:05 in the song by Daddy Dearest, followed shortly by Boyfriend. This vocal sound is also repeated a few more times throughout the song.
Bopeebo used to be the only track to have Boyfriend perform his V-sign pose during the song. With the release of the Week 7 update, Tutorial now includes the pose as well.
The V-sign pose was originally used to fix a bug in the Ludum Dare prototype where Boyfriend would be stuck with the last animation he used.
In the prototype, Fresh also had Boyfriend perform his V-sign pose during the song, but this was removed once the Newgrounds version of the game was released, likely because it doesn't sync with the song.
Bopeebo on Friday Night Funkin' OST, Vol. 1 sounds different compared to the one heard in-game. The version heard in the game's album appears to be an edit of the same song as it appeared on Kawai Sprite's main Bandcamp page, Drug Pop,[1] with some changes to the voices, additional sounds and having its time cut down to be the same length as the one heard in-game.
Bopeebo uses a leitmotif from the old English street cry "Hot Cross Buns," a song commonly used to learn basic notes on instruments.
Bopeebo was composed before Fresh, though Kawai Sprite composed a prototype song even before Bopeebo to test vocals.[2] The prototype song was shown off in a 1-year anniversary live stream.[3]
