From: I Am; Year: 1979; Genre: Disco/Funk
Yep, still have EW&F out of my head, which is a good thing, especially for a Funky Friday.
This is one of the most interesting tracks from the band, at least subject/lyrical content. If you only pay attention to the thumping and bumping bass and drums and the infectious horns you'd probably just dance and have a great time to this track, which in reality is about a woman going to the discotheque to lose herself and escape a life full of pain and loneliness only to wake up the next day to cold reality with more problems, leading to a never-ending circle. The titular "Boogie Wonderland" is that mentally euphoric state you get from escapism; like it is another world free of the hurt, pain and loneliness. Quite a heavy song indeed.

About My Song A Day Blog:

Okay, What is this "Song a Day Blog?" Well, this is a hobby of mine that I have been at for over 18 years now, (since September First, 2007), in which I set aside a few minutes every day to create my ultimate playlist in a diary form, if you will. I try to add a different song each day and share with those who are interested as to why I like the song and the artist that performed it and/or maybe some facts about them. Myself, along with a few others, (the couple others who still remain active), have taken it upon themselves to create and maintain these song-a-day blogs; I highly recommend the other blogs that are linked to in the "Other Blogs I Follow and Find Interesting:" list below.  I have also provided links to the blogs that have gone dormant for one reason or another in the same list as well. Hope you enjoy!
