Let's Boogie is an album by Welsh rock and roll singer Shakin' Stevens, released in October 1987 by Epic Records. It peaked at number 59 on the UK Albums Chart.^[2]

The album is split into a studio side and a live side. Of the five studio tracks, four were released as singles, all becoming Top-40 hits in the UK, with "What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For" charting the highest at number 5, which was his last Top-10 single until the re-entry of "Merry Christmas Everyone" in 2018.^[2]

The second side, titled 'The Hits Keep Coming...' is a medley of Stevens' previous hits, recorded live at the London Palladium on 7 December 1986. On the original release of the album, the individual songs are chaptered. However on the 2009 re-release of the album as part of The Epic Masters box set, the medley is listed in its 'correct' format as one 23-minute track. Also different on the 2009 release of the album is that "What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For" is the single mix of the song; the album version "was a re-recording with a change in producer and musicians".^[3]

Upon release in October, the album charted for one week at number 66. However, with the success of "What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes At Me For", the album re-entered the charts in December for six weeks, peaking at number 59.^[2]
