Big Fun - Blame It on the Boogie (Video)

Music video by Big Fun performing Blame It On The Boogie. (C) 1989 Zomba Records Ltd.

[@Melodic_Alchemy]

SAW is great at churning out dance hits like this back then.... People can bash them all they want, but they did find a good formula for pop hits! Love the strings that is going against the vocals during the chorus for example, and the syncopated piano hits and the 909 drums... perfect 80's dance!

[@dafdaffodil]

The boogie has been held accountable for so much over the years.

[@ashgraham1492]

Proper cheesy 80’s classic, what a great era the 80’s was, brought out some of the best party songs

[@Kilaueaorph4n]

After 1987, you can’t really know for sure if Michael wants one of them 😅

[@jayyouson1994]

Couldn't agree more. Best music and films came out of the 80's.

[@m.b2438]

Had the pleasure of meeting these guys in the 80s loved them 😍😍😍

[@JasGould-sh3fh]

This is what I'm talking about. Great songs and big fun. Awesome memories.

[@AlexanderJames-r8i]

Nothing but positive vibrations

[@BillODriscoll-jo2ve]

'89 signified the end of the 1980s decade This song was saying and bidding farewell to the 80s and saying hello to the 90s ❤❤🎉🎉

[@172Break]

It also maked the end of SAW.

[@RamadaArtist]

Yeah for real. This cover is so '90s it hurts, which is saying a lot for a track that came out in '89.

[@lugiakane470]

why do i get the feeling this is the way 89 said goodbye to the 80's for the 90's

[@matthewdonovan1240]

The world needs music like this nowadays. Bring back the magic of the 80s. I will always love this song.

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Gotta love the 80’s! Luckily I grew up on them!

[@PabloAlberto2448]

Me too.

[@bossendenwoodconvict]

The gaudy clothes, floppy bleached hair, camp little dance routines, high pitched vocals and low tech video actually make this more endearing. Far better than the depressing blandness of today's world of pop.

[@treacles2]

Agreed

[@kendollgt]

The opposite to the Jackson 5 version! lol

[@richhughes7450]

Cheesy but fun. Remember folks you almost always preffer the music you grew up with as it was a time when you had fun and it holds memories

It's crazy how the fashion and style in this video actually made a comeback with Gen Z 😅 late 80s fashion is 🔥

[@KristVladic]

True, but I'm not happy about it. ;) In the late 1980s and in 2014, the mainstream sparked a mass fashion for the style and appearance of niche subcultures such as punk or psychobilly... Suddenly one month, hundreds of guys and men started looking like..me...like they were coming back from a Front 242 concert...

[@billodriscoll-iz8br]

I remember when this was released back in the hot summer of '89

[@TheFireline]

The dancing!!!!.....There are not enough OMGs in this world.....

[@enquvist]

I just love how ridiculously happy this is, S/A/W music got me through some pretty dark teenage years and it's still my happy place as an adult. This is like S Club 7's Bring It All Back or Reach, just unashamedly camp and OTT happy. So much unpleasantness and negativity and hate and anger in the world - we need stuff like this -- the complete antithesis of what you see on the nightly news to balance it out.

[@VikingLad]

Too damn right

[@metalbearuk]

Absolutely! Bring back camp happy pop, in this miserable world it's much needed. The Italo revival has brought some fun back (listen to Italove), but they're not totally brainless and care free like this!

[@floramick500]

I've just discovered this version... And i like it ! 😁

My old memory is when i went to London with my friend ending up in the press room getting autographs and pictures taken with these guys and London Boys.

I found this because of a Sarah Millican concert where the whole audience danced to this. These guys were so cute!

Remember 1987 - 1989 was electronic dance era breaking acid house and techno in effect this song remixes by them is a statement to show what was coming by the 90's fair play to them

Sitting on a train from Blackpool in 1989 back to Birmingham and snuggled up to a girl I liked and heard this song on someones radio, this reminds me of my transition from 'liking' the girl to 'loving' her. It could have been any song, just glad it wasn't Jive Bunny.

[@13towerofpower]

Omyl aj Jacksons prevzali túto pieseň. Jej pôvodným interpretom bol Mick Jackson nie zo skupiny ale anglický spevák vl.m. Michael George Jackson nar. 1947 v Munsteri v Nemecku. Bol aj spoluautorom piesne s bratom Davidom a Elmarom Krohnom. Skomponovali ju v roku 1977. Prvý ju predstavil na festivale MIDEM v Cannes v roku 1978. Na popud producenta Bobbyho Colombyho hráča na bicie v jazzrockovej skupine Blood Sweat and Tears ju nahrala aj skupina Jacksons a vydala na albume Destiny. Obe verzie v UK súžažili o priazeň publika. Niektorí novinári sa domnievali pri zhode mena ,že ide o vlastnú pieseň skupiny Jacksons...nebola to však pravda.

[@l3oozehound]

It wasn't created by the Jacksons, it was created by a dude called, believe it or not, Mick Jackson and others called Dave Jackson and Elmar Krohn...Of no relation to the Jackson 5...weird huh?

[@clivemitchell4316]

Original version yes, bit this cover is awful.

[@grahamd5418]

The Jacksons version was not the original. That accolade falls to singer Mick Jackson and he also wrote it Toataly unrelated to his namesakes.
