Hello All

I need to learn some old boogy type tunes for the band I am in. Basic stuff, 1,4,5 tunes like Blue Suede Shoes. Or song with the same feeling.

Give me a list of you top three favorites if you please but be gentle, I'm so far away from Boogy Woogy I doubt I can even spell it right.

Don

Shake, Rattle and Roll (Elvi, most famously) Honey, Don't (Fab Four) Dad Gum Ya Hide, Boy (Louis Jordan: gotta slow it down, but worth it.)

I thought this was Spaw again trying it on. A boogy in the UK is a snot up a nose, not sure what you call it in the US. When kids say I got a boogy. you tell them to get a hankie and not to pick it but in this case it should be picked with a plectrum.

Long John Baldry, noted Brit and fine musician did a song about "Boogee Woogee music" years ago. I need the American equivalent.

Thanks LR, how I forgot about Shake Rattle and Roll I can't guess.

When it comes down to nasal mucosa we in the Ontario mud flats called em Boogers.

Well, my version of Honky Tonk Train blues has them calling for less (but I cheat as I only pedal the pianola) but I expect you want vocal ones, not the Ammons/Lewis/Johnson originals. I offer Whole Lotta Shakin/Flip Flop & Fly/Roll em Pete/Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy as starters. Most of Louis Jordan has a boogie beat, today Jools Holland is carrying the torch on, and of course, the Killer himself, Jerry Lee Lewis, is still massacring pianos everywhere .
