THE ELECTRIC SLIDE: THE SONG ABOUT A VIBRATOR BLACK FOLKS DANCE TO AT WEDDINGS

feeling rebloggy



BWAAAAA HA HA HA HAAAA...
      I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T REALIZE IT SOONER

71 year old songwriter Neville Livingston aka Bunny Wailer is putting a rumor to rest by clarifying that the Electric Slide, also known as the Electric Boogie is indeed about a vibrator. 
Rumors of the songs meaning began circulating on social media a few weeks ago and everyone has been desperate for answers. According to a source close to Livingston, word of the question about the origins of the song reached him in Kingston, Jamaica where he currently resides and he put the rumors to rest. 
"I'm surprised it took people this long to figure out" the source tells us he said.  Apparently Livingston wrote the song after a girlfriend told him she didn't need him because she had a toy she nicknamed the "electric slide" 

Lets examine the lyrics:
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!)
