"Oakie Boogie" (sometimes "Okie Boogie") is a Western swing dance song written by Johnny Tyler in 1947. It is recognizable by its refrain:
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.
Ella Mae Morse also recorded a version for Capitol which reached number 23 in 1952. Her version was one of the first songs arranged by Nelson Riddle. Speedy West played pedal steel guitar on the recording.
The song has been recorded by many artists over the years.
