Overall Meaning

The Jacksons feat. Michael Jackson's "Blame it on the Boogie" is a fun and light-hearted piece about dancing to music while avoiding taking responsibility for any negative consequences. The song is about a couple that goes out to dance and have a good time but ends up not being able to keep up with each other's lively party vibe. The singer complains that his partner is always dancing but not spending enough time with him. They spend a night in San Francisco at a disco, which seems to be the turning point, as he realizes that his girlfriend is more interested in dancing than spending time with him.


The song's catchy hook, "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," is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea of placing blame elsewhere for things. The boogie is personified as a nasty bug that has drugged and spellbound the singer, making him dance uncontrollably. He acknowledges that the beat has changed his life completely and how the rhythm of the music gets him on his feet. He also notes how the boogie has got him in a super trance and how it has made him full of funky fever with the fire burning inside him.


Overall, Blame it on the Boogie is a fun, upbeat dance song that celebrates the joys of boogie music and dancing. Although it might not possess a deep meaning or social commentary, it's a delightfully catchy tune that will make anyone smile.
