Keep On Chooglin'

John Fogerty's 'Keep On Chooglin'' is a celebration of life's simple pleasures and the importance of letting loose. The repetitive chorus, 'Keep on chooglin',' serves as a mantra for continuous enjoyment and carefree living. The term 'chooglin'' itself is a playful, nonsensical word that Fogerty uses to encapsulate the idea of having a good time, dancing, and enjoying life without overthinking it. The song encourages listeners to embrace their natural instincts and indulge in the joy of the moment.

The verses introduce characters like Mary and Harry, and Louie, who works in the sewer, all of whom are looking to 'choogle' tonight. These characters represent everyday people from different walks of life, united by their desire to have fun and escape the mundane aspects of their daily routines. The song suggests that no matter who you are or what you do, everyone deserves to 'choogle' and experience happiness.

Fogerty's use of the phrase 'natural man' implies a return to a more primal, instinctual way of living, free from societal constraints. The song's upbeat tempo and repetitive structure mirror the endless cycle of enjoyment and the idea that fun should be a continuous part of life. 'Keep On Chooglin'' is a reminder to prioritize joy and to keep the spirit of celebration alive, no matter the circumstances.
