"Oakie Boogie" (sometimes "Okie Boogie") is a Western swing dance song written by Johnny Tyler in 1947. It is recognizable by its refrain: When you do the Oakie Boogie, and do it Oklahoma style,That mean old Oakie Boogie is bound to drive you wild. Jack Guthrie's version (Capitol 341) reached number three on the charts in 1947 and is often included in the list of the first rock and roll songs. The singing of "Oakie Boogie" is the only performance by Guthrie in a film—Ernest Tubb's Hollywood Barn Dance in 1947. The song has been recorded by many artists over the years.
