Like the summary sez, "babooshka" is Russian for grandmother (literally it's
"mother" with a diminutive tacked on the end).  The only thing I can figure
is that KB (or the character in the song) only knew that it was foreign and
exotic-sounding, because I can't say I find grandmothers very seductive.
(If I ever become a grandfather, I may change my mind about that. :-)
