:Not disputing that Hommarju has not explained the name of Wowie Zowie, hence the original re-edit to remove a direct link connecting it to Zappa and Pavement. A Google search indicates that popularity of the phrase Wowie Zowie overwhelmingly traces to Frank Zappa, though the word "zowie" traces back to around 1902 according to Merriam Webster. The trivia gives extra context on the usage of "wowie zowie" in modern context, much like the trivia for Cytokinesis explains the usage of "cytokinesis" in modern context.
