"I'm Your Boogie Man" is a popular song by KC and the
Sunshine Band from their 1976 album
Part 3. Richard Finch told Songfacts that this was
written about a DJ at a Miami, Florida radio station called
Robert W. Walker, who was the first to give their hit single
"Get Down Tonight" airplay. In 1977 the song reached the #1
position on the Billboard Hot 100. The single reached #3
R&B, and #41 in the UK.
The song was sampled in at least one preview for all four of
the
Scary Moviefilms, as well as in the 2005 film
Roll Bounce, the 2007 film
Superbadand comic-to-film-adaptation
Watchmen.
White Zombie originally recorded a cover of "I'm Your Boogie
Man" for the
The Crow: City of Angels Soundtrack. However, since the
song's release date, it has also appeared on Rob Zombie's
greatest hits album
Past, Present & Futureand as a remixed version on
the EP
Supersexy Swingin' Sounds. The song is another different
music style for the band as they are fusing disco with heavy
metal. The audio samples in the song where children are heard
saying, "He's gonna get you! The Boogieman is coming!" are
taken from the 1978 film
Halloweenwhich would later be remade in 2007 by Rob
Zombie.
Although the song failed to chart, it earned the White
Zombie their third and final Grammy nomination for Best Metal
Performance in 1996.
The music video features Rob Zombie singing along to the
lyrics of the song. Rob's screen time is cut multiple times,
flashing to select scenes from the film
The Crow: City of Angels.
