The "Electric Boogie" aka the Electric Slide is a song that has probably been played at millions of weddings, with millions of families doing the dance that everyone over the age of 8 has done. To this day we just thought it was a fun bouncy dance song. But now we know more.
Apparently the writer of the song 71 year old Neville Livingston aka Bunny Wailer says the song is about......
A Vibrator.
The rumor is that Livingston has told people that the song was inspired by a real life ex girlfriend telling him "I don't need you, I have a vibrator named "Electric Slide."
If this rumor is true, it's life changing.
Look at the lyrics and see for yourself!
It's Electric!
You can't see it It's electric! You gotta feel it It's electric! Ooh, it's shakin' It's electric!
Jiggle-a-mesa-cara She's a pumpin' like a matic She's a movin' like electric She sure got the boogie
You gotta know it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie! Now you can't hold it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie! But you know it's there Yeah here there everywhere
I've got to move I'm going on a party ride I've got to groove, groove, groove And from this music I just can't hide
Are you comin' with me? Come let me take you on a party ride And I'll teach you, teach you, teach you I'll teach you the electric slide
Some say it's mystic It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie You can't resist it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie You can't do without it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie Jiggle-a-mesa-cara she's a pumpin' like a matic She's movin' like electric She sure got the boogie
Don't wanna lose it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie But you can't choose it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie But you know it's there Yeah here there everywhere
I've got to move Come let me take you on a party ride And I'll teach you, teach you, teach you I'll teach you the electric slide
Some say it's mystic It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie You can't resist it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie You can't do without it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie Jiggle-a-mesa-cara she's a pumpin' like a matic She's movin' like electric She sure got the boogie
Don't wanna lose it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie But you can't choose it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie But you know it's there Yeah here there everywhere
