Disco boy! Run to toilet and comb your hair.
Disco boy! Pucker your lip, and check your shoulders,
'cause some dandruff might be hiding there.

Disco boy, your the disco king, aw the
disco thing made you think someday that you
just might go somewhere.

Disco girl, you're outa sight, you need a
disco boy, to treat you right.
He'll do a little dance, take you home tonight.
Leave his hair alone, but you can kiss his comb.

Disco boy! Run to toilet and comb your hair.
Disco boy! Shake it more than three times and you're
playing with @!#%! while you're standing there.

Disco boy, do the bump every night, 'til the disco girl
who's really right, gonna fall for your line,
and feed you a box full of chicken delight.

Disco chit-chat so demure,
pump that booty all across the floor.
A disco drink, a disco wink,
you never go duty that's what you think.
You never go duty that's what you think.
You never go duty that's what you think.

Duty. Go duty!
Duty. Go duty!
Duty. You never go duty.
Duty. You never go duty.
Duty. You never go duty.
Duty. You never go duty.
You never duty. Go duty.
Duty. You never duty.

Disco boy! You got one more chance, to comb your hair again.
Disco boy! They're closing the bar, and she's
leaving with your friend.

Disco boy, that's the way it goes, so wipe your nose, and
try it again, to get a little lay tomorrow.

Disco boy, no one understands, but thank the lord that you
still got hands, to help you do that jerkin' that'll
blot out your disco sorrow.

It's disco love tonight. Make sure you look alright.
It's disco love tonight. Make sure you look alright.

Mr Jimmy I always felt that disco deserved more credit. The music was what it was but the lyrics were head and shoulders above those of the progressive rock of the same era:

Went to a party the other night
All the ladies were treating me right
Moving my feet to the disco beat
How in the world could I keep my seat

All of a sudden I began to change
I was on the dance floor acting strange
Flapping my arms I began to cluck
Look at me..
I'm the disco duck

glencar I'll atke disco over rapcrapo any fecking day o' the week. I went to a low class strip joint tonight & the ladies were fine but the music stank like shit.

corgi37 Here in Oz, disco was for the Greeks, Italians, Lebanese & Turks.

Rock & punk was for us white boys.

Simple as that.

HOWEVER!!!!!!

I love Disco Inferno, Le Freak, Bus Stop & Heart of Glass.

lotsajizz interesting Corgi, in Rhode Island it was an Italian thing---our State is half Irish/half Italian (all due apologies to other small groups!)...the guidos went with the disco, in no small part due to Vinnie Barbarino/John Travolta and that piece of shit movie of his...every one else stayed a rocker...then reaction set in and split the rockers.... the metalheads refused to grow up and recognize punk and new wave and the punks and new wavers loathed metalheads as dumb reactionaries....the disintegration of the pop/rock market can be thus traced to that late 70's phase.....as a footnote, Latin Miami singlehandedly kept disco alive in the early 80's reaction against it--clearly disco for whatever reason has more appeal to folks from sunny lands than it does to Northern Europeans

gross stereotypes, yes, but in the aggregate they hold true

glencar What about Chicago's Poles? Where did they fit in this ethnic scheme?

gorda I enjoy music from all genres. As much, as I love rock, I also enjoy disco music. Disco music is good for working out. I also like rap music.

P.S. John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever was hot! I have never seen that movie in it's entirety, only bits and pieces. But, I own that album and I love it! And that ballad, "How Deep Is Your Love?" . . . Wooooooooo! Baby! I love it!

Ha! Ha! That's funny!

Hey, glencar! I have a song for you:

N' Trance did a rap version of the Bee Gee's Stayin' Alive!!! It's the Bee Gee's song from Saturday Night Fever, but they just rapped over it!

I have that N' Trance song recorded on a cassette. I used to work out and that was one of the songs I used to work out to.
