Let's Do The Boogie
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
And so do i
The dance is kinda hard
So i don't think i'll try
I'll do the boogie
Yes, i'll do the boogie
Well, i'll do the boogie
'cause i think it's much easier to do
Well , some people swing fast
Some swing it slow
It just knocks me out
To see my baby on the floor
I love to see her boogie
Yes, love to see her boogie
Well, i love to see her boogie
I think i'll try it a little bit too
Well, i swing her way out
Then pull her in close
I'm tellin' you, boys
That upsets me the most
I love to see her boogie
Yes, love to see her boogie
Well, it knocks me out to see her boogie
So, i think i'll try it a little bit too
Let's Do The Boogie
King Crimson's 'Let's Do The Boogie' stands as a vibrant departure from the band's typical progressive rock complexities, embracing a more direct, danceable rhythm. While the group is renowned for intricate compositions and shifting time signatures, this track highlights their ability to engage with lighter, funk-inflected grooves. The recording captures the energy of a live performance, inviting listeners to move with its infectious beat rather than dissecting its structure. It serves as a reminder of the band's versatility, proving they could command a dance floor as effectively as a concert hall. This piece remains a cherished moment in their extensive catalogue, showcasing a playful side that contrasts with their more serious, avant-garde output.
