I was wondering where I became familiar with the phrase "heavens to murgatroid" and did a search.
from wikipedia
Snagglepuss is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character created in 1959, a pink anthropomorphic mountain lion voiced by Daws Butler. He is best known for his famous catchphrase, "Heavens to Murgatroyd!", along with phrases such as "Exit, stage left!" Snagglepuss was originally known as "Snaggletooth" (a pink lion precursor).
Snagglepuss first appeared in several episodes of The Quick Draw McGraw Show and became a regular segment on The Yogi Bear Show, starring in a total of 32 episodes
By the way your spelling Spoo is not incorrect. They give various spellings for the word murgatroid but no matter what the spelling no version of the word murgatroid has any meaning. Apparently the phrase is an alteration of the expression "heavens to Betsy" which first appeared in the 19th century.
