Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dance, boogie wonderland.
Ha, ha, dance
Boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid too many bets
The mirror stares you in the face and says,"Baby, uh, uh, it don't work"
You say your prayers though you don't care; you dance and shake the hurt
Dance, boogie wonderland
Ha, ha, dance
Boogie wonderland
Sounds fly through the night; I chase my vinyl dreams to Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
All the love in the world can't be gone
All the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying
"Boogie wonderland, wonderland"

Dance, boogie wonderland
Ha, ha, dance
Boogie wonderland
Ha, ha




I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland

Overall Meaning

The song Boogie Wonderland by Earth Wind & Fire; The Emotions is a disco classic that has become a staple in dance parties around the world. The lyrics are about finding escape in the dancefloor, of leaving behind the problems and worries of everyday life and allowing the music to transport you into a world of freedom and excitement. The song speaks to the power of music to lift our spirits and bring us together, even in the darkest of moments.


The first verse describes the struggles of two different people, a man and a woman, who are both feeling dissatisfied with their lives. The line "Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more than they get" suggests a sense of desperation and longing, while "Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid too many bets" speaks to the idea of taking risks and not always winning. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Dance, boogie wonderland," is a call to action, an invitation to join in the dance and to embrace the joy that it brings.


The second verse shifts to a more personal perspective, with the singer describing their own experiences with music and dancing. The line "I chase my vinyl dreams to Boogie Wonderland" is a nod to the record crates of DJs, while "I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland" speaks to the way that music can create a sense of intimacy and connection between people. The final chorus is an affirmation of the power of music to overcome any obstacle, as the singer declares that "All the love in the world can't be gone" and "All the need to be loved can't be wrong."

It’s still there.

A lot of people forget that while this song was big, along with others, the majority of music played on the radio was forgettable pop songs.

Same thing happens every decade.

Some great music that runs in niche circles, and generic trash.

Classic example led zeppelin. Incredible music. They were not mainstream. They were popular, but except for a few tracks, their general public exposure was limited.

There’s some incredible positive music still made today, both electronic and traditional, but you have to dig a little bit for it.

A fantastic radio station in Australia. Kiss dance, very low level radio station dedicated Sunday afternoon from about 1pm to about 4-5 pm to “happy radio” hosted by a disabled individual. Usually just great upbeat music. Both modern and retro.

There’s an app for this radio station too so you can listen anywhere you want online.

I love the raw free expression of their dancing.
No rigid, strict, choreographed technique... just pure joy, without care. That's how you boogie.

Nonsense... all you got to do is "Let This Groove" get you to move. It's alright.
