Is There Boogie-Woogie in Heaven?

I’m serious.

One of the most pleasurable and fun activities in the history of earth is the Boogie-Woogie.

The Boogie-Woogie makes you smile. You can Boogie-Woogie at home. You can Boogie-Woogie at the prom. You can Boogie-Woogie in the White House. You can Boogie-Woogie on stage. You can Boogie-Woogie in the street. You can Boogie-Woogie in the movies. You can Boogie-Woogie at the movies, too. You can Boogie-Woogie at the big dance. You can Boogie-Woogie with old Aunt Berti and Old Aunt Berti’s grown-up children. You can Boogie-Woogie in tux and gown, cap and gown or in your pajamas. You can Boogie-Woogie with the preacher’s kids and Boogie-Woogie with all your school teachers. You can Boogie-Woogie in Miami—and San Francisco and London and Mexico City and Sydney and Berlin and Hong Kong and every place in between.

And a lot of people have.

The Boogie-Woogie gets you into the swing of things. Have you ever Boogie-Woogied at a wedding reception? Have you ever Boogie-Woogied at the lodge? Have you ever Boogie-Woogied in a night club? Have you ever Boogie-Woogied in the city park? Have you ever Boogie-Woogied at a street dance? Have you ever Boogie-Woogied on Cinco De Mayo? Have you ever Boogie-Woogied in competition.

Well, a lot of people have.

The Boogie-Woogie is good healthy exercise. Cowboys Boogie-Woogie with their boots on. Drummers get up and Boogie-Woogie to the beat of different drummers. Plumbers Boogie-Woogie with their pants on the ground. Tight Ends Boogie-Woogie in the end zone. Pharmacists Boogie-Woogie with drugs. Pianists and Technical Writers Boogie-Woogie at the keyboard. DJs Boogie-Woogie all night long. Lawyers Boogie-Woogie—for a fee.

You can Boogie-Woogie on a piano. You can Boogie-Woogie on a harmonica. You can Boogie-Woogie on a yakkety sax. You can even Boogie-Woogie on your blog.

The Boogie-Woogie is inspirational. Fat people Boogie-Woogie. Skinny people Boogie-Woogie. Not so pretty people Boogie-Woogie. Beautiful people Boogie-Woogie. Rich people Boogie-Woogie with poor people. White folks Boogie-Woogie with black folks. Educated people Boogie-Woogie with 8th graders. Politicians Boogie-Woogie with strange bedfellows. The Yankees Boogie-Woogie with black socks and White Sox. Big brothers Boogie-Woogie with their little sisters (gasp!).


How 'bout you? Where do you Boogie-Woogie? When do you Boogie-Woogie? Who do you Boogie-Woogie with? Wanna Boogie-Woogie one more time?

Everybody's doing it. My First Wife and I were doing the Boogie-Woogie at 6:30 this morning, but you can do the Boogie-Woogie anytime you want. The clip below is what we were watching. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do—over and over again.

I sure hope they let us Boogie-Woogie when we all get there, cuz this all sounds like a little bit of heaven to me. Wanna join us?
