About
“Boogie Shoes” is a funk-dripping disco track that’s all about the singer wanting to dance the night away with his sweetheart. Even though it was released in 1975, the song really started to garner fame after its inclusion in the soundtrack for the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, featuring John Travolta. “Boogie Shoes” found itself on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978 peaking at #35 and at #29 on the Soul chart.
In an interview with SongFacts, Richard Finch talked about the track’s unexpected debut in Saturday Night Fever:
I never expected that record was going to wind up going on a movie soundtrack. But Robert Stigwood (the film’s producer) was a movie guy and he thought to use that in a scene where the shoes were a very big part of this disco façade thing that was coming out. Remember, back in the day it was all about high heeled rhinestone shoes, glimmering outfits and all that. We were also a part of that, we took advantage of it because it was the movement.
“Boogie Shoes” is one of the many famous songs from K.C. and the Sunshine Band that has been able to pass the test of time since its release and stand alongside other well-known disco hits. In 2012, the track appeared yet again on an episode of Glee titled, “Saturday Night Glee-ver”, where it was performed by the character Unique with the group Vocal Adrenaline. It was also featured with other songs from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
