Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hee, hee, hee, hee
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 at every kinda disco
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 (woo) 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 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 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
Ow (sunshine)
Ooh (moonlight)
Yeah (good times)
Mmm (boogie)
You just gotta (sunshine)
Yeah (moonlight)
(Good times)
Good times (boogie)
Don't you blame it (sunshine)
You just gotta (moonlight)
You just wanna (good times)
Yeah, oh (boogie)
Blame it on yourself (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (good times)
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 boogie, boogie, boogie (good times)
All night long (boogie)
The song "Blame It On The Boogie" by Tony Succar tells the story of a broken relationship caused by the irresistible and overwhelming power of music. The singer sings about how his partner is always dancing, but the problem is that they do not get any loving. The couple has spent nights dancing at different discos and after one particular night in Frisco, the singer acknowledges that he has lost their love. The song then moves to the chorus where the singer advises not to blame anything else, but the music for his dance addiction.
The singer admits that he does not like the music, but the boogie still seems to be in control. The beat of the boogie makes him feel spellbound, changing his life completely, and his partner cannot take her eyes off him. The singer implores everyone not to blame the sunshine, moonlight, or good times, but to blame it on the boogie for this feverish and unstoppable passion. The upbeat melody and rhythm of the song highlight the irresistible nature of music and how it can compel people to dance without a second thought.
