Boogie Woogie every day

Mike Naumenko was a connoisseur of rock music and an admirer of the talents of people such as Lou Reid , Mark Bolan , Leonard Cohen . The origins of Boogie Woogie Everyday lie in the work of the leader of the T. Rex band, Mark Bolan. One of his late rock'n'roll compositions - “ I Love to Boogie ” - formed the basis of the song.

At its core, the song has a simple melody that does not go beyond the traditional three - chord rock and roll . Mike performed it in E major , often playing bass moves during performances, especially acoustic ones. The main point is the alternation of the fifth with other intervals - sextus and septima - as well as playing out the pentatonic , blues scale and mixolidian musical fret ^{[1] [2]} .

The song consists of three verses, separated by repeating choruses. There are several versions of the song. As a rule, after the second chorus comes a guitar solo.

The song bears a strong resemblance to the song of the group “T. Rex "" I Love To Boogie ", especially with regard to the refrain of the composition ^[3] .

For the first time, the song was released on the album " White Strip " (1984) under the first number. The second time - on the album " Music for the film " (1991), also under the first number. In the second version, recorded in 1986, there is an additional verse, which performs the vocal trio "The Royal Family in the country." There is also a third version, recorded in 1989 specifically for the film Boogie Woogie Every Day (1990), which was made in it. In 1999, this version was included as a bonus in the "supplemented edition" of the album "Music for the film."

• In 1986, the song was recorded by the Beat Quartet Secret , with which Mike had friendly relations. In the performance of "Secret" the song became a hit. Also in his version, “The Secret” inserted a tongue twister “Stranded we burbot lazily caught ...” before the last refrain.
• In the same year, at one of their concerts, the song was performed by the group " Alice ".
• In 1988, the group “ Zero ” performed the song “Boogie-woogie every day” to the motive of the revolutionary song “ Varshavyanka ”.
• In 1989, the Gaza Strip recorded the song Plows-Woogie, a refrain which mimics the refrain of the song “Boogie-Woogie Every Day”.
• In 2003, the Leningrad band performed a cover version of the song “Boogie Woogie Everyday” for the tribute to the Secret group “The X-Files” (in this case, this performance is a cover of a cover), somewhat transforming traditional rock and roll rhythms in blues and rap motifs.
• In 2008, the song with the amended text was recorded by actor Igor Voinarovsky for Valery Todorovsky ’s film “ Dandies ”.

• In 1990, the film of the same name by Alexander Kiselyov was released, where the song sounded like the title one.
• After the release of the movie “ Dandies ” in 2008, the song, which was performed with a different text in the film, regained popularity.
