Blame It on the Boogie
Jackson & Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby's always dancin'
And wouldn't be a bad thing
But I don't get no lovin'
And that's no lie
We spent the night in Frisco
From that night I kissed our love goodbye
Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
That nasty boogie bugs me
But somehow it has drugged me
Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet
I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightning leave me
And my baby just can't take her eyes off me
Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't you blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Woo
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet
I just can't
I just can't (yeah)
I just can't control (woo) my feet
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet
Sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't, on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhythm fools me
The Devil's gotten to me through this dance
I'm full of funky fever
A fire burns inside me
Boogie's got me in a super trance
Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
(Don't you blame it)
Sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Ow
(Sunshine) woo
(Moonlight) yeah
(Good times) mmm
(Boogie) you just got to
(Sunshine) yeah
(Moonlight)
(Good times) good times
(Boogie)
Don't you blame it (sunshine)
You just got to (moonlight)
You just want to (good times)
Yeah, oh (boogie)
Blame it on yourself (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (good times)
All, all night long (boogie)
Can't stop that boogie (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (good times)
Dancin' all night long (boogie)
Blame it on yourself (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that funky
Funky boogie, boogie, (woo) yeah
The lyrics to "Blame It On The Boogie" by Jackson & Jackson describe a person who is enamored with dancing to the "nasty boogie" in every kind of disco. The singer explains that they have changed their life completely, and even when lightning is striking, their baby just can't take her eyes off them. The boogie bugs the singer but has also "drugged" them, causing them to be "spellbound" by the rhythm and "full of funky fever." Overall, the lyrics of the song suggest that the blame for the singer's excessive dancing and rebelling against their partner's wishes should not be put on external factors like sunshine or moonlight, but rather on the irresistible power of the boogie.
The lyrics of "Blame It On The Boogie" are an example of the disco genre, which was popular in the late 1970s. The song was originally written and recorded by Mick Jackson, a British musician, in 1978. The Jacksons (formerly known as The Jackson 5) covered the song in 1979 and released it as a single, which peaked at number 54 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song's success was relatively modest, but it became a disco classic in subsequent years and has been covered by many other artists.

My baby's always dancin'
My partner loves to dance
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
I wouldn't mind if they weren't always dancing
But I don't get no lovin'
But I don’t receive enough affection from them
And that's no lie
I am not lying about this
We spent the night in Frisco
We went to San Francisco for a night
At every kind of disco
We went to several discos
From that night I kissed our love goodbye
That night marked the end of our relationship
