Blame It On The Boogie
Jackson 5 featuring Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby's always dancin'
And it 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 good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't you blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on 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
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 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 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
I just can't control 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 good times
Blame it on the boogie
This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhythm moves 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 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 good times
Blame it on the boogie
Ow
(Sunshine) woo
(Moonlight) yeah
(Good times) mmm
(Boogie) You just got to
(Sunshine)
(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)
On all night long (boogie)
Yours and 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, yeah
"Blame it on the Boogie" by Jackson 5 featuring Michael Jackson is a high-energy, disco-infused song that captures the essence of 1970s dance culture. The upbeat tone of the song conceals the melancholic message of the lyrics, which suggest that constant dancing is hindering the singer from receiving love. The lyrics suggest that the singer and his partner have been to every disco in Frisco but have failed to rekindle the love that once existed between them. The boogie has become an all-consuming addiction that has put a wedge between them.
The lyrics suggest that the singer knows he is at fault for his romantic troubles but has become spellbound by the boogie rhythm, which has taken over his life. He suggests that blaming the sun, moon, and good times for his problems would be futile, as the boogie is the true culprit. The singer is well aware that the boogie must be the cause of his love problems, as his partner cannot take her eyes off him when he is in the groove. The song's lyrics suggest that he must reclaim his life and take the blame for his romantic failures instead of shifting the blame to external factors.

My baby's always dancin'
My significant other is always dancing
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
While their dancing isn't bothersome,
But I don't get no lovin'
it's not leading to any romantic gestures,
And that's no lie
and I'm not making it up
We spent the night in Frisco
We spent the night in San Francisco’s suburban area
At every kind of disco
We visited every club that plays popular dance music
From that night I kissed our love goodbye
That night our romantic relationship ended
Don't blame it on the sunshine
The weather is not the cause of the situation
Don't blame it on the moonlight
The lunar cycle is not the cause of the situation
Don't blame it on good times
Enjoyable moments are not the cause of the situation
Blame it on the boogie
It's the upbeat music that's causing our problems
That nasty boogie bugs me
This energetic music style irritates me
But somehow it has drugged me
Yet, it has had a captivating effect on me
Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet
The mesmerizing rhythm compels me to stand and move
I've changed my life completely
My life has transformed significantly
I've seen the lightning leave me
My old self is long gone
My baby just can't take her eyes off me
My partner is mesmerized by me
I just can't control my feet
I'm unable to stop myself from dancing
This magic music grooves me
This music has a powerful hold on me
That dirty rhythm moves me
The lascivious rhythm is making me move
The devil's gotten to me through this dance
I feel like I'm possessed by evil through this dancing
I'm full of funky fever
I'm bursting with excitement
A fire burns inside me
I'm feeling an intense passion
Boogie's got me in a super trance
The upbeat music has me under an intense spell
Blame it on yourself
You're the one at fault
Ain't nobody's fault
No one is responsible
But yours and that boogie
Except for you and the energetic music
On all night long
It continues through the night
Dancin' all night long
We'll be dancing all night long
But yours and that funky, funky boogie, boogie, yeah
Your fault lies with that groovy, lively music that has intoxicated us so much
