Blame It On The Boogie Lyrics

My baby's always dancin'
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
But I don't get no loving
And that's no lie

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

CHORUS:
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

VERSE:
The 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

CHORUS:
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 you 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

CHORUS:
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

VERSE:
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
And fire burns inside me
Boogie's got me in a
Super trance

CHORUS:
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

Owww - sunshine
Whoo - moonlight
Yeah - goodtimes
Mmmm - boogie

You just gotta - sunshine
Yeah - moonlight
Goodtimes
Good times - boogie

Don't you blame it - sunshine
You just gotta - moonlight
You just wanna - goodtimes
Yeah - boogie
Ohh blame it on yourself - sunshine
Ain't nobody's fault - moonlight
But yours and that boogie - goodtimes
On 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

Blame it on yourself - sunshine
Ain't nobody's fault - moonlight
But yours and that funky funky boogie al night long - goodtimes

Okay well..

My interpretation of the song is that He's dating a girl that loves to party/go to discos. Because of that he never sees her like he wants to. At first he didn't like it until he experienced it himself. He became overwhelmed and couldn't help but to dance along with her. Then she's all over him again when he joins her.

My Interpretation

Spot on interpretation by you translator. Also, Satan is the spirit behind most of this music. The lines don’t blame it on the sunshine, moonlight, the good times. Blame it on yourself says the devil. It’s your fault not mine. The devil knows you’re a sinner and he charms you with his music. It knows what it is doing and is very excellent at it.

the boogie straight forward is the possession of an evil spirit like the devil. im sure as children we remember the boogieman. the boogieman had a long history in euro culture boogieman was once known as puck which is known to mean the devil or supernatural force. more current songs like timbaland's up jumps the boogie, boogie jumps me; clearly refers to spirit possession especially when he blasphemes the name of YHWH in his lyrics. Devil is known for being a master of ceremonies when it comes to music. Who you think influenced the Israelites to make a golden calf while listening to 'strange music' ?

  • interestingly puck/boogieman is half calf half man" "The devil's gotten to me Through this dance" - moonwalker

It's the bogeyman, not the boogieman.
