Boogie Oogie Oogie

Poll question: Boogie Oogie Oogie

Vaguely creeped out at this point. The restaurant where we just ate dinner pipes an apparently disco radio station over the p.a. (we *are* in the gay village borough, so nothing weird there). My question is this: when Boogie Oogie Oogie started playing, the scariest thing was:

[Lyric]

1. Boogie Oogie Oogie is the song that broke Rhythm's stereo

You'll have to ask her about the details, though, 'cause I can't remember.

[kedrys]

2. Ooh! We want dish!

I'm intrigued... :D

[Rhythm]

4. k then, i'll tell ya...

I had an old Soundesign rack system when i was in my early 20's -- had purchased it years before. It was one of the ones with 3' high
speakers, AM/FM radio, dual cassette decks, and a turntable on top. It looked kinda like this:



i happened upon a stack of my old vinyl in my mom's storage building, and brought them home. In amongst the MeatLoaf, KISS, Alice Cooper, and David Bowie stuff, there was a K-Tel disco compilation album, and on a lark i put it on the turntable.

It played fine for the first couple of tracks, but when it got to "Boogie Oogie Oogie", it just wouldn't boogie no more. I suspect the belt on the turntable broke, but the design of it made it almost impossible to get underneath it to repair it.

8. I remember those all-in-one systems

I think my old Aiwa is still around here somewhere - and I bet it wouldn't play that track if asked either. :rofl:

26. I thought it might have been that scratchy guitar solo in "Boogie" that did it in.

It's not the most beautiful guitar solo by any means, but it's definitely one of the most distinctive ones I've heard!

3. Other: You both started moving with the rhythm and were move to stand up...

...and actually dance.

until you just couldn't boogie no more...

[kedrys]

10. OK, that's even more scary

:rofl: Fortunately, we were already pretty stuffed by then, so dancing was pretty much right out.

[NYC_SKP]

29. But you bounced a little in your chair.

You know you did!

:hi:

[kedrys]

30. I kinda tapped my foot under the table

I confess. :P :hi:

[Critters2]

5. Thank you for the earworm. I hope I am able to return the favor one day. nt

[kedrys]

11. That wasn't my intention

I'm in trouble, aren't I. :P

[kwassa]

6. A Taste Of Honey

until you just can't boogie no more.

the live version, you know you needed this! Back when good-looking women like this were called "foxy".

13. I'm conflicted

In a way, I'm vaguely disappointed that wasn't a rickroll. :rofl:

[Shell Beau]

7. backyard boogie oogie?

[kedrys]

15. No yard...

Deck on the roof, but it's kinda cold right now. :rofl:

[Deja Q]

9. That episode of 'Buck Rogers' where Twiki finds a gold colored double with a female voice.

And, no, you do not want to see the pic! :rofl:

[kedrys]

16. Thanks for the flashback - NOT!

:rofl: :rofl: Even worse than the earworm... :rofl: :rofl:

[Ptah]

12. Get your earworm cleanser right here. Get it while it lasts.

Anita O'Day and Gene Krupa - Thanks For The Boogie Ride

[kedrys]

17. Quaintly surreal, that was

:) Love Gene Krupa, though.

[Bertha Venation]

14. Thanks for the earworm.

:P

[kedrys]

18. My apologies

I didn't mean to infect the Lounge... :P

[Bertha Venation]

19. At least it's not muzak. Thankfully I've never heard that one in muzak.

:puke:

[kedrys]

20. And with Muzak going bankrupt,

we may be spared that awful fate.

[Bertha Venation]

21. Seriesly?

[kedrys]

22. Yep.

All that evil finally comes home to roost.

[Bertha Venation]

23. I'm sorry if people are put out of their jobs, but

is it evil to rejoice?!

I can't listen to ANY muzak, doesn't matter when the song was from, without thinking of polyester leisure suits. :rofl:

[kedrys]

27. I feel the same way

People losing jobs: extremely not good :(
Not having to bring a barf bag in elevators: priceless :rofl:

[datasuspect]

24. it would have been more impressive had they played this:

[kedrys]

25. If there's a dance remix of it somewhere, it very well

may have played at some point... :P

The s.o.'s mind was completely blown when the DJ made some announcements and we realized it was a French-speaking station. :rofl:

[jobycom]

28. What scares me is that some people, for the sake of some misplaced Dennis Leary faux-coolness

want to deny that they still love the song. If you like something, don't let the shallow simpletons make you self-conscious about it. They are just pretending they know more than you, anyway.:P

[kedrys]

31. Somewhere, I think I still have a cassette or four that I made

of what my favorite radio station called the "Retro Disco" program. From '76. :rofl: And there are tunes in there that I still remember - and like.

[pokerfan]

32. I thought I recognized it

but then realized I was thinking of 'Ooby Dooby' by by Orbison.

[kedrys]

34. Which is the track Zefrem Cochrane played for his Vulcan guests

when they landed to make first contact, if I remember correctly. :P

[pokerfan]

35. Vulcans appreciate all forms of music

[kedrys]

36. Although they looked a bit startled at first

"We're under attack!" "Nah, jukebox. Sit back down and finish yer drink." :P

[zingaro]

33. Why? Are you thinkin you're too cool to boogie??

I can't lie - I have this, and tons of other disco, on mp3. It coexists happily with the rest of the stuff I have and it's great for cardio :)

The sooner we begin the longer we've got to groove. Who doesn't love that as a life motto? :)

[kedrys]

37. I love dance music

I can't dance worth a sh*t, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a good beat. :)
