<i>Intro:</i> ----3-0--------3-3-----3-0-------3-3--- ---------3--1------------3-1-------- #1. We were just a plain ol' hillbilly band with a plain old country style. We never played the kind of songs that'd drive anybody wild. Played a railroad song with a stomping beat, we played a blues song kinda slow and sweet. But the thing that knocked them off their feet was, ooh-wee!! Chorus: When Luther played the boogie-woogie..Luther played the boogie-woogie. Luther played the boogie-woogie..Luther played the boogie-woogie. Luther played the boogie-woogie..Luther played the boogie-woogie. Luther played the boogie-woogie..Luther played the boogie in the strangest kind of way..(play it strange!) <i>Solo:</i> ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------3-0-----3-3---3-0------3-3-- ----3-0-------3-3-----3-0-----3-3-------3-1------------3-1------ ---------3--1------------3-1------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------5-5------------ ----3-0--------3-3----3-0-----3-3------3-3-3-------3------------ ---------3--1------------3-1------------5-1-------- #2. Well, we did our best to entertain everywhere we'd go. We'd nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show. Played jumping jive to make 'em get in the groove, we played sad songs real slow and smooth. But the only thing that'd make 'em move was, ooh-wee!! Chorus: When Luther played the boogie-woogie..Luther played the boogie-woogie. Luther played the boogie-woogie..Luther played the boogie-woogie.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'un groupe de musique rurale qui, bien que simple dans son style, parvient à captiver le public avec des morceaux entraînants. Leur répertoire comprend des chansons de train et des blues parfois mélancoliques, mais c'est lorsque Luther, un des membres, joue le boogie-woogie que l'ambiance s'enflamme véritablement. Ce rythme unique et décalé devient la clé pour faire bouger la foule. Dans un contexte musical des années 50, la chanson met en lumière l'importance de l'innovation et de l'énergie sur scène. Même au sein d'un groupe qui ne se démarque pas par des performances extravagantes, Luther parvient à insuffler une vie nouvelle à leur musique grâce à son style singulier et entraînant. C'est une célébration de l'authenticité et de la passion que l'on peut ressentir dans la musique populaire de cette époque.
