"The Electric Slide" is about a vibrator, its songwriter confirms
Ah, the truth comes out. The line dance song that's popular at celebrations like weddings and bat/bar mitzvahs is about a SEX TOY. LGBTQ news and entertainment site Aazios is reporting that Neville Livingston aka Bunny Wailer, the songwriter behind "Electric Boogie" (the song also known as "The Electric Slide") has confirmed rumors that it's 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"
Here's a taste of those naughty 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! Now you can't hold it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie! But you know it's thereYeah here there everywhere I've got to moveI'm going on a party ride I've got to groove, groove, grooveAnd from this music I just can't hide Are you comin' with me? Come let me take you on a party ride And I'll teach you, teach you, teach you I'll teach you the electric slide
Thanks, Dixie!
