"Boogie Man", originally titled "Treadin' Light", is a song played on Galaxy News Radio. It was composed by Sid Phillips. It appears on the KPM CD Archives Series Volume Six - 1940s and 1950s, only available for production music licensing from APM Music.

Background[]

The details of the song's history are somewhat undocumented, save for the fact that it was performed by Sid Phillips and it was published sometime between the 1940s-1950s.

The Archives Series CD features a naming error.[1] The track listing for #43 "Boogie Man" used in Fallout 3 also features an alternate 2:37 version which has a completely different melody.[2]

However, the alternate 2:37 version matches the melody of #42 "Treadin' Light."[3] "Treadin' Light"'s track listing also features an alternate 2:56 version which does not match its parent song listing. Instead, the 2:56 version is a longer arrangement of Fallout 3's "Boogie Man."[4]

In addition, the Archives Series CD is also a partial reissue of the KPM Brownsleeve album, KPM 047A To 052B (KPM LP 9).[5][6] "Treadin' Light" and "Boogie Man" are listed as tracks 048A and 048B, respectively.

The recordings as presented on the Brownsleeve record indicate that Fallout 3's version of "Boogie Man" was originally a shortened version of Treadin' Light. Between the Brownsleeve issue and the CD reissue, the names "Treadin' Light" and "Boogie Man" were swapped as alternate arrangements were prepared.
