"Electric Boogie" (also known as the "Electric Slide") is a dance song written and originally recorded in 1976 with Bunny Wailer. It is strongly associated with the "Electric Slide" line dance and has since become a celebratory staple. The song was very popular in North America at weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and other special occasions in the 1990's .

The most successful recording was performed by Marcia Griffiths. Griffiths' recording of "Electric Boogie" was originally released in 1983; while this version did not catch on internationally, a remixed version featured on her album "Carousel" reached number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1990.

"The Electric Slide" is a four wall line dance set to Marcia Griffiths and Bunny Wailer's song "Electric Boogie". Choreographer, pianist and Broadway performer, Richard L. "Ric" Silver, created the dance in 1976. There are several variations of the dance. The original choreography has 22 steps, but variants include the Freeze (16 step), Cowboy Motion (24 step), Cowboy Boogie (24 step), and the Electric Slide 2 (18 step). The 18-step variation became popular in 1989 and for ten years was listed by 'Linedancer Magazine' as the number-one dance in the world. It is currently the highest-selling single by a female reggae singer of all time.

Marcia Griffiths is a Jamaican singer. One reviewer described her by noting "she is known primarily for her strong, smooth-as-mousse love songs and captivating live performances".
