Ever watch The Derry Girls?
Turns out ‘Rock the Boat’ is always played at weddings.

As friends of mine have said, “Disco is dead. Let us not mourn its passing.”
Can’t get anywhere on the link. You sure you don’t work for Goggle?
Beat me to it…
“Disco still sucks.” - From an OMNI Magazine piece on graffiti 50 years in the future.
50 yrs....
I still Hate Disco.
You had to be careful, though, or you'd end up with a bruised hip.
Our rugby team in Cincinnati had T Shirts made up with the saying “Disco Sucks” for the summer 7 a side tournaments. Great way to play.
well since I dont like Disco I’ll drop this Bomb in here and fly away!!
Some young Japanese Babes who know how to handle an Instrument!! Band-Maid Turn it UP!!
I prefer this version:
The Hustle / VAN McCOY / Dance / Perfume

The best disco song of all time was a Japanese duo
Smile (group) Butterfly

Shake, shake, shake....
Shake your booty...shake your booty....

Three nights ago, I was at a disco
Man, I wanted to bump, I was rarin’ to go
And this big fat woman, bumped me on the floor
She was rarin’ to go, that chick was rarin’ to go
Man she did a dip, almost broke my hip
She was gettin’ down, that chick was gettin’ down
She wanted to bump some more, but I told her no
You done knocked me down once
You done knocked me down once
Said if you wanna dance
Find you a big fat man
Ya’ll both can get on down
Ya’ll both can get on down, huh
I ain’t gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
when did that come out? first 3 notes(I can name that tune with the best of them!) first 3 notes I called it ! Immediately recalled this!!

The unusually good drum fills are due to none other than Steve Gadd, who was at the time thirty years old.
I’m glad that left. I enjoyed punk like Blondie more. Parallel Lines was pop punk but much better than disco, although knock on wood and Donna Summer Hot Stuff were good. Someone noteworthy played guitar on that but I can’t remember who. Then there was The Plasmatics. I’ve never seen anything like that live again. Probably for the better.
I love the clothes of the era...most of them
