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 of "Blame It On The Boogie" by Michael Jackson and The Jacksons Five tell the story of a person whose partner is always dancing and going out to discos, but they are not receiving any love or affection in return. The singer reflects on a particular night spent in San Francisco at a disco, where they realized that their love was slipping away. The blame for this situation is not placed on external factors like sunshine, moonlight, or good times, but rather on the infectious power of the boogie.
The boogie, referred to as "that nasty boogie," has a strong hold on the singer. It captures their attention with its spellbinding rhythm and gets them on their feet. This has caused a significant change in the singer's life and personality, as they feel electrified and free. The singer's partner is captivated by the changes in them, unable to take their eyes off them. The boogie has become a driving force in their life, both physically and emotionally.
The chorus of the song serves as a refrain, emphasizing that the blame for the singer's situation should not be placed on external forces like sunshine, moonlight, or good times. Instead, it should be attributed to the power of the boogie itself. The repetitive phrases highlight the singer's inability to control their desire to dance and the effect the boogie has on their being.
As the song progresses, the lyrics describe the boogie as magical and seductive. The dirty rhythm of the boogie fools the singer and carries them away, almost as if under a spell. They describe themselves as being filled with "funky fever," as a fire burns inside them. The boogie has them entranced, and it feels like a supernatural force has taken control of them.
In the final chorus, the singer declares that the blame should be placed on oneself for succumbing to the boogie's influence. They assert that it is nobody else's fault but theirs for dancing all night long. The repetition of blame emphasizes personal responsibility and the power of the boogie to consume one's existence.
Overall, "Blame It On The Boogie" explores the transformative power of music and dance, illustrating how it can both liberate and possess an individual. The lyrics highlight the singer's struggle to resist the allure of the boogie, ultimately accepting personal responsibility for their choices and actions.
