Ever since we were little kids, we have been doing The Electric Slide to the Electric Boogie at weddings and bar mitzvot. However, did you know that the song is about vibrators? Well, the late songwriter, Bunny Wailer, confirmed that a few years ago.
However, that fact is now going around TikTok, and the reactions are priceless, as you can see in the video above.
Read lyrics, and record yourself as you do. To read them, then
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 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

But you know it’s there,
Yeah here there everywhere
Now that you have finished reading the lyrics, tell me why we do the line dance the way that we do. Shouldn’t it look a lot different? It needs more gyration.
