Blame It on the Boogie
R. 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)

Yours and that boogie (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie(good times)

The song Blame It on the Boogie, written by Mick Jackson and David Jackson and made popular by Michael Jackson and The Jacksons in 1978, is a funky and upbeat dance song with a tempo that demands movement. The song starts with the sound of Michael Jackson's famous "Hee, hee, hee," a trademark he famously used in his songs. The lyrics of the song are simple and straightforward, narrating the singer's love for dancing and how it has affected his romantic relationship.
The song expresses the frustration of the singer when his partner spends too much time dancing, leading to a lack of affection in their relationship. The lyrics suggest that his relationship has lost its vitality, and the rhythm of the boogie has worked its way into his heart, altering his relationship with his partner. He blames the boogie as an external force that has taken over his emotions, causing him to dance all night long. The song emphasizes the power of music, specifically the genre of disco and its lifestyle, in shaping the lives of its listeners, bringing out their wild side and making them lose control.
