Moo-g or Mogue? My pronunciation conundrum.

Okay. This is a bit of an admission of guilt. But for a long time I thought that Moog was pronounced Moo-g (as in the sound a cow makes with a g on the end). And up until last year I continued to think this, and it still pains me to say it properly Mogue (as in Kylie Min-ougue without the Min and with a M)

I just wanted to give you a heads-up, incase you were in a music shop and you were chatting idly with the shop guy and you accidentally said Moo-g. Because that's not right.

Even though it's more fun to say it that way. Dammit. I want it to be Moo-g. It sounds better.
