Pete Seeger American folk singer

Peter Seeger was an American folk singer and social activist. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of the Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of the Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, Seeger re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, counterculture, and environmental causes.

Generically, the word goof is another term for a mistake. However, the term is also used in a number of specific senses. Several origins have been proposed for the word.

Some say the word may come from an identically pronounced Hebrew word meaning "body", some even say it was just a mistake happened while typing the word " good", hence the word "goof" is also known as other word for mistake.
