Marcia Griffiths - Electric Boogie (Long Version) 1983

[@zitiboylilo5789]

I almost cried… I’m a grown ass man with a child of my own. This took me back to the 80’s when all of the elders were still alive and every weekend the entire family got together, drank, played cards, dance, gossip, etc. life was so much fun. This reminds me of my great grandmother. We called her ‘Mamma’. She was 86 when she died in ‘94. She’d get drunk and yell to my cousin, “Baby, put ya grandmother dancin’ songs on!” 😂 😂 😂 she’d jump up, wobble from one side of the room to the other until she got her balance, and she’d stand in the same spot gyrating her hips clapping her hands and stomping her feet lmao 🤣 damn man I’m choking up listening to this!

[@SaxyLament]

Mamma sounds like she was a gas! A but like my great-grandmother (Granny) but she didn't drink. Such simpler times back then. ❤

[@zakinaab]

Time flies, isn't it?!!

[@JamesAlexanderinternet]

thats an amazing memory - thanks for sharing

[@harunakayanja9169]

I love such beautiful memories

[@marthaortega345]

Brought me to the good old days, couldn't help but tear up 😢

[@lisagrace8909]

Whos on it 2024 !!!!!!!! Classic

[@jamesbrawley5039]

Still sounds great in 2023. Classic song.

[@raeman1967]

I wish I grew up in the late 70s, 80s and 90s, because I would've had an excellent time and had all kinds of fun due to the music, movies, fashion, and etc. In contrast to this peculiar era. 70s, 80s, and 90s is the greatest.

[@rb7007]

Yep,...I'm so happy that I grew up in those Eras! Childhood in the 70s, Teen/young adult in the 80s and an adult in the 90s. PERFECT!

[@drdabsmore945]

No you don't, because you wouldn't have all the things like KZbin that brings you music you otherwise would never have heard. You have abilities and knowledge at your fingertips you never would have decades ago.

[@martinvink2699]

You are very right, Rae Man! I know, because i did grow up then!

[@sandravines215]

Yes. I grew up on 80s & 90s.....the time of my life!

[@PhilWorley]

I was born in the early 70s, grew up in the 80s, & enjoyed a young adulthood in the 90s.

[@folasadeadeseyoju4005]

On my 1st day at a school of hairdressing in Lagos January1984, (19 years old then)I heard this music being played next door at high volume. I did not know who the artist was then. Finally bought it in audio cassette form.

[@HUMPHREYBALLKIDITUA]

I am from lagos ikeja but leave in the United states now. My dad use to place this song when I was a kid. Beautiful memories 🖤❤️

[@lungiao229]

Folasade I can relate as well when I first heard it I was carried away. It was one of the biggest track in every party. It’s still hot even for oldies night!

[@JamesAlexanderinternet]

amazing memory!

[@kyvajones8274]

This is my favorite version! My dad used to play this on his massive stereo system in the basement. 😃

[@lucasamtab]

If I had found myself passing in front of your basement, I would have stopped and gone wild.

[@josephdennis1823]

We used to jam to this (the original 1983 version) in Liberia. We threw a party in the hut in our backyard in Vahun, way upcountry. There were palm fronds put up to enclose our hut like a disco. We had a battery-powered cassette player. Kids were dancing and having fun before we got shut down...for real. Too loud, too late. Of course, it was the teenagers who were really moving and shaking. I wish I could find this download somewhere.

[@bryantbeauty]

Yes Joseph Never Gets Old!!

[@finiuswideman8974]

Sounds like it was a hell of a good time.

[@valhawkins1954]

Wonderful story!

[@vixensilver180]

Awesome!

[@drdabsmore945]

Love your story, man. Good stuff. Love and music always wins!

[@UkpEmem]

Since my childhood, I feel happy when I listen to this song.

[@edfraz453]

This cut right here was played in clubs for at least 20 years. It brings back some great memories. That’s all before this young violent generation was born. Music then gave us more good thoughts than bad thoughts!

[@mosespeace8786]

She is one of our elders and must be respected and admired and appreciated. Our beautiful African queens

[@d.jackson2560]

I just played this for my 16 year old son & he said play that again😁 this a classic, still sound good

[@waltermalveaux7384]

I love this song. I was teenager when this song came out.

[@happyhapley]

Spent many years dying to hear the original with Bunny Wailer again. Thank God for the internet & KZbin.

[@Logical_Chronical]

Love the 80s version because it was an era where they came out with long electric dance mixes of mainstream songs. Synthesizers were the new fad! Love the sound effects touch!

[@queenath4721]

YOU ARE MY DAD,, YOU'RE MY DAD BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE

[@veronicabrown9837]

Kept the crowd going for 20 minutes with this song. Awesome awesome Marcia Griffith

[@clarenceleejackson1297]

This song was awesome when it was first heard in 1983 and it is still awesome now in 2015!

[@chboguechitto]

Absolutely fantastic, well done Marcia Griffiths. Though I enjoyed it in the 1980's when I was young and I'm still enjoying it in my 50's now.

[@mosespeace8786]

[@tyreynolds6411]

[@didacusnwabuzookoro2471]

I love this version, can't forget my early days

[@martinvink2699]

Please, never forget your early days! They are probably the most precious memories...

[@hansjorie4842]

Great song. Good old days songs are evergreen.

[@vivgotluv5622]

This is the best .. I can't stop playing or dancing to this version..

[@bryantbeauty]

I Already Know Vivian!!

[@JihadBunnydick]

lol i saw you on the other video

[@imthe18thletterjr10]

This song was inspired by the writers girlfriend telling him that she doesn’t need him because she has a vibrator... Hence “It’s Electric”.

[@victoriajefferson4520]

Get the party started aye aye

[@simplyjayye]

Set it off

[@nnmadileonard4841]

During my teenage years this hit is the main gem I love you marcia Griffiths ❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️

[@lormabaysah6592]

This music makes me think of my high school days... no fun guys... I really love it.

[@barbarasmith7381]

38yrs and it is still as good as ever! Marcia Griffith done that❤❤❤❤

[@vikkismith7497]

This is the year when one of my daughters was born. I would say that she is the best of 4 girls. She is smart, strong and good at everything that she does. And most importantly she gave me one of my 2 granddaughters who is much smarter than her mom and I LOVE her so much! She the best granddaughter in the world.

[@fayerivers1174]

this jam still sounds great on 2019. it will get a party going!!!

[@tayefayemi8408]

Fantastic music of our time. No music again. I really enjoyed my youthful days in the 80s. At 55 now, the music sound new.

[@mosespeace8786]

Like afro national of Freetown Sierra Leone West Africa Afrika educated and experienced the best instrumental music 🎵 of all time

[@terryleach690]

I was a Dj back then you could put this song on and play it for 30mins and people in the club would dance off it long as you played it...

[@gagesnow1733]

This song just grabs a hold of you, and for 6 minutes won't let you go. serious jam

[@romemeka]

Born in the 80s and remembering this song being played off vinyl at family cookouts. And you dare not join the line if you didnt know the steps lol. Gosh couldn’t get those days back even if you tried.

[@tameikabrown2542]

How Many Of U Guy's Got Up & Danced When U 1st Heard Playing Wherever It Played AT & Simply Couldn't Get Enough Of The Song 🥰😍🤩

[@graphicdesigner5188]

Damn hearing this version finally came back to me. When I was five I definitely remembered the original version before the remake. I remember being at my babysitters place in West Philly hearing this. Then I hear the remake which was good but nothing beats the original.

[@kellybayne8416]

This was my mom’s jam and her electro slide was amazing! She just left us 6 days ago and I will miss her very much. 🕊

[@kaykalu-oyeoku9793]

[@thetommoody]

As big an 80's music fan AND funk music fan as I claim to be, I have to humble myself and admit that I absolutely have never heard this version until tonight!! I saw it when listening to what I thought was the "original" video...this is AMAZING!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS I DOING BACK THEN??? Man, I truly love this and am madly searching for it to download...thanks so much Fabrice for this!!!

[@rusticization]

I really prefer this original version other than the 1989 remake mainly because of Bunny Wailer's touch on it.

[@PostedForYou]

MARCIA GRIFFITHS SPEAKS ABOUT THE VIBRATOR THEORY: "Unfortunately I wish I came on social media for a more positive reason. I know people make up things to put on social media to go viral...I dont know if they get a kick out of that. Whatever is going on now re: the electric boogie is TOTALLY totally out. I know NOTHING about singing for any......i hate to even repeat the name......what is it? 'vibrator'. I wouldn't have lasted in this business if I wasn't sending out positive messages to teach, educate and uplift"
