I like to see you boogie
Right across the floor
I like to do it to you
Till you holla for more

I like to reggae
But you dance too fast for me
I'd like to make love to you
So you can make me scream

So boogie on reggae woman
What is wrong with me?
Boogie on reggae woman
Baby can't you see?

I'd like to see both of us
Fall deeply in love
I'd like to see you na (ked)
Under the stars above
Yes I would

I'd like to see both of us
Fall deeply in love, yeah
I'd like to see you in the raw
Under the stars above

So boogie on reggae woman
What is wrong with you?
Boogie on reggae woman
What you tryin' to do?

Can I play with you?
Can I play?
No!

Boogie on reggae woman
What is wrong with you?
Boogie on reggae woman
What you tryin' to do?

Boogie on reggae woman
Let me do it to you
Boogie on reggae woman
What you tryin' to do?

How does the bass player get it to sound that way?  It's crazy.  Six string bass? Super fat strings?  Super loose strings?  

Magic fingers?

And...cool album cover art.

I'mma let you finish - but this is the best Stevie Wonder song of ALL TIME and it's probably the smartest written (although Living For The City's home->NY->jail scenario comes in a close second).

It's a funky study in dichotomy. Check the lyrics:
Nice Stevie: I'd like to see you boogie / right across the floor.
Evil Stevie: I'd like to do it to you / until you holler for more.

Nice Stevie: I'd like to see both of us / fall deeply in love.
Evil Stevie: I'd like to see you in the raw / under the stars above.

He does that repeatedly, even to the solo.
Nice Stevie asking permission: "Can I play?"
Evil Steve, bragging about his talent: "Can I play?!"

He obviously thought about this tune before committing it to tape.
And that groove... Jebus, this was a high water mark. Love love love this song. 



Excellent!

imma agree with you on all counts. and thanks for this comment. i always suspected the "dichotomy" in the lyrics, but now when i hear this, i won't be able to forget it.

It feels like he's been popular my whole life...because he has... but the layers and artistry of this song (as a 24-year-old) make him feel older.

I often wonder what happened in his career where he shifted from this cutting edge groove in 1974, to the easy listening yacht rock sound of "I Just Called To Say I Love You" in 1984.  It felt like he jumped the shark when that song was used in an AT&T Long Distance ad campaign that year.

I don't think you can top this original but if anyone got the itch to remake this I would not object to John Popper having a shot at that harmonica solo.

Glad I'm not alone in thinking this song was called You're the only woman . . .

Please do.  Fingertips (Parts 1 & 2 Live) changed my very young life and introduced me to chromatic harmonica.

Great stuff.

Any Jerry Garcia / Merl Saunders fans out there probably already know that their side band in 1975 covered this song a bunch - with guitar and keyboard jams extending 15+ minutes.  Really groovy stuff.  Pretty cool given that Stevie released the original in 1974 only a year earlier.

Enjoy.

Not a huge fan of this cut. No matter.  It showcases Stevie's stellar writing, phrasing, singing, production and musicianship. In the '70s, he had very few peers.

Perhaps that explains your screen name .... ?  

And, yes, I have watched Snoop and Martha's Potluck Dinner Party on your network.  While entertaining, it's just another measurement of how far 'music television' has strayed from its original concept.

Really.  I've always understood the lyrics to this song, and since when does enunciation matter very much in rock and pop?  Everyone doesn't sing like Julie Andrews, and they shouldn't have to.

Who cares - I mean just keep grooving with the beat. Not everything needs to be verbalized and most times the best things in life cannot.

Back in the 70s I never could understand what the hell he was singing. I thought it was something like "Booya Only Woman."

That's too weird Baby M. Almost identical post at the same time.

Thanks for saying this. I agree on all counts. Saw a couple clips of Dione last night on one of those Time/Life infomercials (Porno for Pop fans- LOL). Fer sures, she blew every other "featured performer" out of the water. Her output with Bacharach was once-in-a-generation magic.

You really should check out any of the records he made from Music of My Mind to Songs in the Key of Life—he had a phenomenal run of consistently excellent records that's matched by only few others (Beatles, Dylan, early Elvis Costello). Not a bad track on any of them.

Did he ever jam with Billy Preston? What a boogilicious sound they would have made.
Not sure, but I did see Mr. Preston when he played with the Stones in '76 in Cleveland, not as 2nd bill, he was with the band, quite a nice surprise!
