Blame It on the Boogie
The Jackson Brothers 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 loving
And thats no lie

We spent the night in Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed
Our love goodbye

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

The nasty boogie bugs me
But somehow it has drugged me
Spellbound rhythem get 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 sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

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

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

The magic music grooves me
The dirty rhythm moves me
The devil's gotten to me
Through his dance

I'm full of funky fever
And fire burns inside me
Boogies got me in a
Super trance

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie

Sunshine

Goodtimes
Boogie

Don't you blame it - sunshine
You just got to - moonlight
You just want to - goodtimes
Yeah - boogie
Blame it on yourself - sunshine
Ain't nobody's fault - moonlight
But yours and that boogie - goodtimes
Dancin' all night long - boogie

Yours and that boogie - sunshine
Ain't nobody's fault - moonlight




But yours and that boogie - goodtimes
Dancin' all night long - boogie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Blame It On The Boogie" by The Jackson Brothers describe a situation in which the singer's partner is always dancing, but he is not receiving any love or attention from her. The couple has been to multiple discos, and the infectious beat of the "boogie" has gotten to him, causing him to dance and lose control of his feet. The boogie has "drugged" him, and the "spellbound rhythm" has taken over his body. His partner is now unable to take her eyes off of him, and the boogie has completely changed his life.


With lyrics like "Don't blame it on sunshine, don't blame it on moonlight, don't blame it on good times, blame it on the boogie," the song seems to suggest that the boogie is a force that cannot be controlled, and that it is responsible for the havoc it can wreak on relationships. The repeated refrain of "blame it on the boogie" emphasizes this message and emphasizes the power of the music to cause people to lose themselves in the dance.


The song is a classic disco hit from the late 1970s, and it is still popular today. Its catchy beat and infectious lyrics have made it a favorite at parties and dance clubs around the world. The song has been covered by multiple artists over the years, including Michael Jackson, who was a member of The Jackson Brothers at the time the song was released.


Line by Line Meaning

My baby's always dancin'
My significant other is always dancing


And it wouldn't be a bad thing
It's not inherently a bad thing


But I don't get no loving
But I am not receiving any love


And thats no lie
This is the truth


We spent the night in Frisco
We were in San Francisco for the night


At every kind of disco
We went to various discos


From that night I kissed
After that night I ended


Our love goodbye
Our romantic relationship was over


Don't blame it on sunshine
Do not attribute it to good times


Don't blame it on moonlight
Do not attribute it to romantic atmosphere


Don't blame it on good times
Do not attribute it to sunny days


Blame it on the boogie
Blame it on the dance


The nasty boogie bugs me
The dance style bothers me


But somehow it has drugged me
But I cannot resist it


Spellbound rhythem get me
Enchanted beat captures me


On my feet
Making me dance


I've changed my life completely
My life has changed fundamentally


I've seen the lightning leave me
I have lost my spark


My baby just can't take
My significant other cannot stop noticing


Her eyes off me
Me or my dance moves


I just can't
I cannot


I just can't control my feet
I cannot stop dancing


The magic music grooves me
The music's magic moves me


The dirty rhythm moves me
The rhythm's dirtiness moves me


The devil's gotten to me
I have been possessed by the devil


Through his dance
Through the dance he caused
