It's been so long ago, not sure if I did. I did see Saturday Night Fever though.

 

 

How about this song?

This one was played at Uncle Sam's , the local disco we used to visit.

 

I just read the background info on it and most DJ's on the radio didn't want to play this even though the lyrics were tame by today's standards.

And how could we not have a Dance Song thread without this one?

Re: What Were Your Favorite Dance Songs from the Late 70s/Early 80s?

Directly as a result of reading this thread, I put my three disco music CDs (PURE DISCO, Volumes 1, 2, & 3) into my Bose CD changer and had them playing at low volume in the kitchen all day long.......so every time  I walked in there during the day, I had a so-called "spring in my step"......ahem.

 

One of the best tunes on my PURE DISCO discs is "The Hustle"

 

Husband enjoys them, too, even though he's considerably older than I am and is more in tune with  music from the 1950s (The Drifters and that sort of thing).  I sold all my LP albums of the Drifters and others of that genre at a yard sale many years ago.

 

Probably should mention  I have developed a bigger appreciation for the amazing voice of Elvis, whom I wasn't a terribly devoted fan of back in his early days.

The more I think about it, the more I miss the music of the 80's. It was still fairly innocent and was such fun. What the heck happened???

he was from the Bronx and would come out on weekends.  he wore those hukapoo style shirts unbuttoned to the navel, st christphers medal, and his hair a big poof of curls. he drove a 'cuda with no muffler.

 

they used to go to the dance clubs all nite
