As far as the song itself goes, I think it was the simplicity that appealed so much to me. The lyrics consisted entirely of the following:
Get up and boogieI think it was repeated about 500 times. My favorite part was the chorus of guys chanting "That's right!" and I dutifully sang along with it every time it came 'round on the record.
Get up and boogie
That's right!
Get up and boogie
Get up and boogie
That's right!
Boogie!
Boogie!
That's right!
Years later, I heard someone sampling the "That's right!" in another song, and I was secretly pleased.
So, uh, happy Friday to you and yours.
