Boot Scootin’ Boogie

thGD1DJ3RJ   Download Here    Break out your cowboy hat and boots, jump in your pickup truck, and head for that place “stuck out in the woods” and dance your little heart out.  I’m not a big fan of country music, but I dearly love to perform this song.  I’ve played a few “honky-tonks” in my time and this tune always goes over well.

In the early ’90s, line dancing was huge!  Whenever one was requested (usually demanded… about one in the morning), we always broke out “Achy Breaky Heart” – a song I despised the minute I heard it.  The words achy and breaky should not be together in the same sentence.  Anyway, suddenly Brooks and Dunn had a hit with “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” and it became THE song for a line dance.  I was so grateful to those boys.  No more Billy Ray Cyrus nonsense.  We also use “Pink Cadillac” as a line dance, but that’s another story.

This one isn’t the easiest to sing.  I have trouble cramming the words “I’ll have a shot of that redhead yonder looking at me” in the space of just 4 beats, but in a honky-tonk, at one o’clock in the morning – nobody cares.
