1) AC is the project of Alex Cameron, a young musician from the suburbs of Glasgow, Scotland.

3) AC Coming from a musical family, AC started playing drums at an early age. His parents encouraged this early musical talent with piano lessons at the age of 8.
AC was involved in a number of teenage experimental bands as a drummer, including "Big Mac and the Small Fries". Local popularity fuelled AC's desire to emerge from behind the kit and stand at the front of the stage for once, so for his 18th birthday he asked for, and received, an acoustic guitar. A succession of earnest "high school" songs followed until AC found his niche.
The successful side project "Plughole" followed in 2003, with the "Hello Ladies" album selling out in a number of days. The strain of distance between band members and work and travel commitments forced the band to dissolve in early 2004.
These days AC's work is influenced by the music he grew up with, his experience in the corporate world, and the bread and butter of every songwriter, relationships.

AC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe those folks might of got it right
And some people say I drive a Cadillac car
Or sell my wares hauntin' hotel bars
I'm the boogie man, yeah, the boogie man
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I like fine suits, smoke the best cigars
Like talking sex to women, girls in fast cars
I might be under the bed, ready to bite
So little girl be careful, when you're on your own tonight
Cause I'm your boogie man, your boogie man
And I hope, that you don't misunderstand your boogie man
Oh, I'm your boogie man
I'm your boogie man
Yes I'm your boogie man
I'm your boogie man
Yow, here we go
And I hope, that you don't misunderstand your boogie man
And don't let the sun come up on me, your boogie man
I'm your boogie man, your boogie man
I'm your boogie man, your boogie man
I'm your boogie man, boogie man
Boogie man
I'm your boogie man
Yeah yeah
I'm your boogie man
I'm your boogie man
Boogie man
The Boogie Man by AC is a song about a mysterious and elusive figure who is notorious for his nocturnal activities. The opening lines, "some people say I'm only out at night, maybe those folks might have got it right," suggest that there is an element of truth to the rumors surrounding the Boogie Man. He is described as someone who drives a Cadillac car, smokes the best cigars, likes talking sex to women, and girls in fast cars. He is a man who likes the finer things in life and the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is mysterious, alluring and even dangerous.
The repeated refrain "I'm your boogie man" emphasizes that the Boogie Man is a force to be reckoned with, and warns the listener to be careful when they are on their own at night. The song seems to be addressed to a woman who is told to beware of the Boogie Man, who might be waiting under her bed, ready to bite. The use of sexual innuendo and the suggestion of danger creates a sense of unease and uncertainty that is characteristic of the Boogie Man's persona.
Overall, AC's Boogie Man is a complex and fascinating character whose presence is felt throughout the song. The use of repetition, metaphor and imagery creates a vivid picture of a man who is both alluring and terrifying.
