Boogity Boogity

Boogity Boogity is the 11th studio album by Ray Stevens, released in 1974, and his sixth for Barnaby Records. For this album, Stevens returns to the genres of novelty and comedy. The album was released to capitalize on the success of his hit single "The Streak", which was inspired by the fad of streaking during that time. Stevens' two songs, "Freddie Feelgood" and "Bagpipes That's My Bag", were taken from his album Gitarzan and were reissued on this album. The front of the album cover shows Stevens running in a blur, seemingly in the nude, and also contains the phrases "Woosh!!" and "Don't look Ethel!" the latter of which is part of the lyrics to the primary single of the album. "The Streak" proved to be an even bigger success than Stevens' 1970 hit "Everything Is Beautiful", reaching number one in the US, Canada, the UK, and New Zealand. Its follow-up single, "The Moonlight Special", was lifted from this album, but did not fare as well on the charts. Stevens' 1971 single, "Bridget the Midget", first appeared on a collection called Ray Stevens' Greatest Hits, but was reissued on this album, making its first appearance on a studio album.
