This is one of the more complex and misinterpreted songs of the disco era. Written by Jon Lind and Allee Willis, it was inspired by the movie Looking For Mr. Goodbar, which stars Diane Keaton as a lost soul who goes to clubs every night to dance away her misery.
"Boogie Wonderland" was commercially successful, selling over a million copies and being certified gold in the US and gold by the British Phonographic Industry for selling over 400,000 copies in the U.K. An instrumental version won the 1979 Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Performance.
