I is for I Love to Boogie by T Rex
Okay, I think it's time for some more music. Usually, when I'm writing - imagine words flowing with abandon, fingers burning with friction - I need to look up and move around occassionally.
There are two songs I can't not dance to, which can be awkward. I Love to Boogie is one of them: I've attempted to dance to this song while on a cross trainer (elliptical) at the gym, while walking in a supermarket, and once - dragging my sister into the boogie - in a service station car park on the M5. (The other one is Footloose, if you're interested.)
This is a live version, and a bit rockier than the single. What I'd really love is if you'd stand up and have a bit of a dance - go on, you've been at this keyboard for a while now, you've visited plenty of blogs, this is time for you! Let me know if you danced!

Lol, you are awesome! I like this song a lot too, but I will have my dance to it later - just had breakfast, it's a bit early! :D
ReplyDeleteI promise I'll dance after the coffee:) I need to let it settle a little so it has time to infiltrate my bloodstream to be awake;)
ReplyDeleteBoogietime :D
ReplyDeleteLook forward to your challenge run…

Ooh it's hot here today and I'm feeling even hotter after that. Time for a cool shower....
ReplyDeleteThanks for that! My volume seems to have turned itself up to full and I was blasted out of my chair!
ReplyDeleteI'll crank it up and dance while I'm waiting for the kettle to boil :-)
ReplyDelete....just sat down for lunch and blog-hop catch up - so I'm tapping my foot rather than attempting a full-on boogie, if you don't mind! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I remember when Bolan and Co. brought this out (...showing my age!)
SueH I refuse to go quietly!
ummm, tink I'll just have to turn up the volume and see what it does for me :)I typically write in silence!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dancing, everyone!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy greatest wish in the entire world is to be walking down the street one day and just fall into a Grease-style song and dance number with my fellow pedestrians. This is a small part of that!
Ha ha ha! I have this problem with a lot of songs and I too often embarrase myself dancing. I just can't help it, it's too fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I needed a brain wake me up.
ReplyDeleteFun! I love to dance. I gave it a short go, but my daughters enjoyed rocking out to it! :) Is it me, or does that guy in red look a little like Johnny Depp? Maybe I'm just wishful thinking. hehehe
ReplyDeleteMarc Bolan was quite gorgeous - another musician taken too soon though.
DeleteWell that was fun! ;) I love to dance, too. (But am not good at it.) I was actually in our local production of Footloose, I played Ren's mom. I was only about ten years older than the kid who played Ren. They made me wear an ugly curly wig, very 80s mom. It was fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet that was a great production to be involved with!
DeleteIt's almost a party! Keep it up. I've been dancing too - a couple of times actually!
ReplyDeleteKinda rockabilly version, eh?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely good for a dance - and maybe we could all get together and walk down the street, Grease-style! Great idea :-)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, this song is so much fun. I've already played it twice...
ReplyDeleteI can't dance because I'm at work, but I know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteI love to boogie too! Hard not to jiggle around to it! Also, never noticed how much Marc looked like Johnny Depp before!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a good song to amp up the energy. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI bet I'm the worst dancer commenting on this post!
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of dancing randomly is that it will always look a little bit silly, so bad dancing in public places should be encouraged!
DeleteI love this song! I first heard it in Billy Elliot and fell absolutely in love with it!
ReplyDeleteI love this song! I first heard it in Billy Elliot and fell absolutely in love with it!
ReplyDeleteLove this song (and love Marc Bolan!). Can't play as at work but may come back late for a quick boogie. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this cyber-disco! Thanks for dancing with me today :-D
ReplyDeleteI do love to get-down & boogie... and do so as often as possible... don't need a second invitation... so here goes... *shaking the body*... thank you!
ReplyDeleteI can't dance to anything! Just ask my wife.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to, but I couldn't help myself! That was awesome. I'm still catching my breath. THANK YOU, Annalisa.

I never even heard this song before.
