Catch the vibe behind the ‘Electric Slide’

“The Electric Slide” is a much more literal, steamy ode than any wedding or bar mitzvah guest could have guessed.

What countless children and their boogie, woogie, woogie-ing parents don't know about the popular family party song is that it's actually about a vibrator.

"I'm surprised it took people this long to figure out," Bunny Wailer (photo), the songwriter behind the anthem, reportedly told a source who snitched to Aazios, an LGBTQ news and entertainment site.

The unnamed source told Aazios that Wailer — who's 71 and lives in Kingston, Jamaica — was inspired to write the tune after his then-girlfriend informed him that she “didn't need him” because she had a personal device nicknamed the “electric slide.”

The 1982 jam formally called “Electric Boogie” eventually climaxed at the No. 51 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. But no one was able to figure out its inspiration, despite the now-exceedingly obvious lyrics.

The song's proven staying power means it will probably overcome this newfound realization, thanks in no small part to humanity's inability to resist a line dance.
