There was a disco song called “Boogie Nights,” but that was late 70s. Lyrics ran along the lines of

> [@](#):
>
> Boogie nights  
> Ain’t no doubt we are here till morning  
> Boogie nights  
> Come on now got to get it started

Hope this helps.

The intro to the late 70s hit (by Heat Wave or Heatwave)does indeed start out something like

> [@](#):
>
> boogie night ooh aah ooh

After a couple of those, then it starts jamming with some real toe-tapping music.
