Story about this misheard lyric by: Martin Sweaney

I was 15 and my dad was 55 when the song came out. He thought he was really in the groove when he walked through the house, crooning his misheard version, which I ended up liking better than the original.

Comments:
"Rock The Boat" a literal one-hit wonder #1 song from the summer of 1974 for the California trio known as the Hues Corporation (members: St. Clair Lee, Ann Kelley and Fleming Williams) marks a very important dividing line for pop/rock music of the 1970's. "Rock The Boat" considered by many people to be the first Disco song of the 1970's, came at just about the right time to spark the Disco era in the same summer that President Richard M. Nixon resigned because of the Watergate scandal and as people were leaving behind the struggles and protests sparked by the Vietnam War. And pop/rock music of the 1970's is clearly seen as being divided at when "Rock The Boat" reached the #1 spot for two weeks in the summer of 1974. For before that was still lingering sounds of music from the 1960's from Motown records, Atlantic records and the British Invasion led by the Beatles and the easy listening tunes from such artists as the Carpenters, and Bread -- while after "Rock The Boat" was pop/rock music that would define the last half of the 1970's of arena rock and disco. "Rock The Boat" also would be the beginning of how dance music would evolve not only during the last half of the 1970's but also into the 1980's, 1990's and the first decade of the twenty-first century.
