What is full tilt?

When you are operating under EXTREME stress, so hyper-focused on a specific goal that you start to make silly mistakes on other things.

I have a huge project due tomorrow, stayed up til 3am, I'm on the full tilt boogie, I missed my exit, left my credit card at the store, and locked my keys in the car.

While doing the full tilt boogie-you are having an adrenaline rush that causes you to make mistakes you wouldn't normally make under normal circumstances

Full tilt - what is it?

The superlative level of an endeavour or product, usually only applied to endeavours and products that are inherently exciting. There can be a full tilt boogie iteration of a particular line of sports cars; there is no such variant of a minivan. One can play a guitar or drum solo at full tilt boogie. It is highly doubtful that an oboeist or tuba player could so inspire a listener as to merit the description.

1) Keith was going full tilt boogie when he hit the solo on "Gimme Shelter".
2) The Screamin' Eagle is the full tilt boogie version of Harley's Fat Boy.
